It's amazing what you can learn with these things. I now know that "tandblekning" is Swedish for "tooth whitening" (or at least I assume it is)

Indeed it is smile

"When you target your ads to geographic locations, you have the following three options:

    * Countries: Your ads will appear to customers located in or searching for results in the country or countries you select. This option is best suited for global businesses and merchants who serve specific countries."

Same should go for the languages.

There's no way for me to prevent non-english ads from showing up in my forums.

Just go there and make sure that "Swedish" is not appearing there . Should help.

Where?

Here's a screenshot from my adwords account that may tell you where to look.

If so, then you are browsing a site that has sweedish somewhere on the domain, google will put up sweedish ads.

Are any non-Swedes seeing Swedish ads?

As I told you before, yes.
I repeatedly am invited to take taxi driving lessons in Sweden although I am in Greece.

So why am I getting Swedish and Polish adds. Strangely, I get Swedish when logged on and Polish when lurking as a guest.

Even when I am not guest I receive those ads on the main page. Reason? Google AdSense selects appropriate ads to display to the user each time the page is viewed. Since we have this (PunBB.fr - PunBB.ru - Polskie Wsparcie - Svenska - ???????) words on the main page I guess it makes sense that google displays ads in Swedish/Polish/Russian.

What ads are displayed when you are here?

And what exactly is Taxikurser i Sverige.

BTW: Only seems to happen on index not on viewforum or viewtopic.

Google may provide Swedish adverts when they cannot find any english ones, based on the fact that you specified you are Swedish when you registered - I noticed my friend who is Finnish sometimes gets Finnish adverts, yet his webpage is all English.
