Here's a modest example of off topics ads.
http://tanny.com/keywords/keyword-research/02.cgi
The topic of the page is keywords.
Adsense shows 2 keywords ads, and 3 accounting ads.
I do have one instance of the word "bookkeeping" at the bottom of the page.
The word "squirrels" is on the page quite a few times, but no squirrel ads (adwords does have squirrel ads).
Don't know what to make of it. Any theories?
If this test means anything, it would seem one word on a page is sufficient to throw Adsense off.
Another theory could be that Adsense keeps a record of your entire site and the bookkeeping section of my site is confusing things. But then why no off topic nature ads shown? Puzzling.

Over here (in the UK) I'm seeing nothing but accounting ads in both Adsense boxes on your page.
Cheers,
Charlie.

Well so much for educational.  That's really weird. I'm getting all accounting ads too. I'm no accountant but I've never known "flying squirrels" or "keyword" to be accounting terms. Maybe their count of the word "keyword" went so high that they figured you were Spam and sent you some accounting ads to keep track of your business...? 
I wonder what Google would say if you referred them to this page as an example? You might get something other than a standard generalised answer from them, since they would have a concrete example to look at.
The plot thickens...

Good idea of course. They always respond, which I still find remarkable. I guess when you're a billion dollar company you can afford to do things right. Back with their reply shortly. Thanks for your reports guys.

Google says:
| Quote: | Thank you for your email about the appearance of accounting ads on your
website about keywords. At this time, when I examine the ads being served
on your website, I see ads which relate mainly to search engine marketing
and keywords. Should this issue recur, please alert our AdSense team |
I checked, ads have changed to more appropriate ads. I guess the lesson is that ads will usually be right, and that's as good as it gets.

It was only because they looked at them...
They're all on-topic to me now too. Guess it takes a while for them to zero in on the topic, but still... I'm sorry to hear they didn't even try to resond to the fact that the off-topic ads were there. Oh well, you tried.

NEWS: Google Sidelines Adult From AdSense Program
This is potentially scary news for adult webmasters. Many of us will need to replace our revenue from AdSense with a highly profitable affiliate program that matches the niche they are in as accurately as AdSense did.
When looking for a replacement for AdSense if this affects you, look for a program with rss data feeds that can be customized by keyword filters.
Begin news circulating on adult boards:
Ending weeks of speculation, Google on Monday 4/16/07 announced it would be implementing a new policy that would disallow adult domains in its AdSense for Domains (AFD)
Defining websites as "any domain whose name, content or advertising is lewd, graphic, or profane," Google stated that AdSense customers with adult domains are required to remove them from the AFD program by May 31.
According to an email sent by Google to its customers, the company additionally "will provide amendments to contracts to exclude adult domains from the exclusivity clause."
At press time, Google had not responded to requests for comment, but the email did state that, "[W]e at Google are constantly working to improve the experiences of advertisers, users and AdSense partners. This change brings our AdSense for Domains program more in line with our AdSense for Content program and will also increase the attractiveness of the AdSense for Domains network for advertisers. Greater satisfaction with the AFD network will lead to more advertisers on the network, providing users with a better experience and domain owners with improved monetization."
Although rumors of the impending decision had been circulating on adult forum [Foul language deleted. Admin.], the news came as a shock to the industry.
"It really took everybody by surprise," commented GEC Media President Greg Dumas, who also owns and manages several large adult domains that received traffic from the AdSense program. "When you hear those rumors, you think, 'Maybe it'll happen in a year, two years.' No one figured six weeks.
"This is a death sentence for a lot of domainers," Dumas went on to say. "It's going to have a twofold effect: All of the people who were buying those ads that the domain traffic was going to?their advertising is going to be affected. They're going to lose a lot of traffic. And, the people who had domains?such as myself?are going to see a drop in revenue."
"It's definitely going to be a major shake-up in the parked-domain industry," said Sevan Derderian, senior account executive at Domain Sponsor, a leading parked-domain monetization company. "A lot of people have invested most recently in some sizeable adult portfolios, and now they're going to be sore about making that choice. There are going to be some repercussions on sales. Now you'll need to look another parking alternative that will take [adult domains]."
Both men predicted that adult-domain holders will bounce back from the setback, however.
"I don't see this as being the end of our business, but it will significantly impact it," Dumas said. "It's such a big marketplace that other people will step up [in Google's place]. Adult traffic is a lot. What I think is that people are going to find an immediate home for their traffic. You just have to hope they optimize and get the same kind of results that Google did."
For his part, Derderian said such a shakedown actually could prove to be a boon for the industry. "It's probably going to be better for people who point their domain traffic to the affiliate programs," he told AVNOnline.com, "because the ones who were pointing traffic to Google and monetizing and getting paid will now have no choice other than to point [traffic] to adult affiliate programs."
Derderian said he predicts Yahoo eventually will follow suit with Google's decision, although he said, "We can't say for sure without the crystal ball."
Yahoo could not be reached at press time.
Dumas also said the development would encourage domain holders to become creative. "I'm a veteran of the adult business, and I've been hit with stuff like this before," he commented. "You just have to step back and square your shoulders and move forward. I think the secret to longevity in this business is your ability to handle situations like this. I mean, if you get kicked in the teeth, you go to the dentist and get new teeth put in and keep chewing."
