Adsense Not Showing On New Site

Hi everyone, I just got a new site up today centered around 1 specific keyword. I removed the robots.txt to let SEs crawl with 4 pages of content and the usual about/contact/privacy/site map pages.

My dilemma is this: I placed the Adsense block just above my content on each page but only public service ads are showing. I left for a few hours and came back to see if anything had changed but still only public ads. I did see relevant ads for a short period of time early on, but then I added an in-content link on my main page and since then Adsense has shown nothing of value. I'm using a Wordpress setup with the WP Simple Adsense Insertion plugin running. I'm adding content slowly, but I feel like 4 pages of 400 - 800 word, focused content should be enough for Adsense to feel things out.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

    I've also just made a site... put 4 posts on it and also put adsense and it works fine...

    -check your adsense account, check to see if there are any notifications
    -maybe you need to add more content and really put the keywords,
    -maybe less advertisers are focusing on that keyword
    -add up seo, and even on meta tags. bold the keywords, put the keywords on alt tags of images etc

      Thanks for the reply. I re-checked my Adsense account and have no notifications currently. As for content and keywords, perhaps more is necessary. I almost feel like I overused my keyword in the content though. SEO is taken care of via All In One SEO plugin on Wordpress and I have the keyword in my title, H1, content, meta desc, and meta keywords. Off page SEO is accomplished via social bookmark backlinks.

    Where are you located?

    Maybe there just isn't any ads in that niche?

      I'm in Georgia, United States. That could be a possibility, but then why did I see relevant ads pop up earlier? :confused:

    Do a Google search on your keyword and see what turns up for Adwords ads on the serps. At least that will give you an answer about whether there are any advertisers or not.

      I did this before taking action in buying the domain and everything else and the ad results were there with great relevancy. I just re-checked and got the same relevancy on ad displays. My site does have one change. On each page I have a few adsense URL links on the sidebar and on the main page this started showing some relevant links. Does anyone know if adsense can take several hours or even longer to get acquainted with a site and its content before displaying ads?

    I have had this issue before many times. I freaked out and started adding more content.. site targeting.. etc. My issue was that the pages kept showing ads for Wordpress. None of these things fixed it immediately. This was only happening on the root domain, the rest of the inner pages showed ads perfectly. I'm guessing that the title+URL play a pretty big part in the ads that show on the page. Given the URL+ title, maybe adsense wasn't too sure of what to put on the page yet.

    I tested this by adding some string like "?keyword" to the end of the root domain, and sure enough, all the ads were showing properly. It all eventually ended up working despite my tinkering. I think waiting (to be crawled/indexed?) did more than actually adding more content did.

    My sites bake for a while now after the initial posts, so I don't look at them too often. So maybe it still happens but it's fixed by the time I get back to working on them.

    And also, people using Adwords may not be advertising on the content network.

    Perhaps an attic I shall seek.

      Excellent input, thank you. Typically enough, I just checked my site and everything is working fine. Go figure... I guess time was the only answer.

      Have you had any problems with getting ads to display on a Wordpress page that you set as your front page to display? That sounds confusing, let me explain a little better...

      When you go into settings > reading in Wordpress and set a static front page to display on your site, do you then have any problems getting adsense to display on that front page?
