Adsense not Showing Relevant Ads

In the past, I had talked about google adsnse is showing unrelated adsense ads on this blog. So after weeks, I can see the ads are still not very targeted. This is certainly has to do with the main niche of the site and this blog being a part of it, google adsense is getting confused.

Anyway to make google adsense show relevant ads, I am looking to use adsense section targeting.

In case you have not heard of or never used it, adsense section targeting allows you to show google ads on the basis of a particular section of the content. So if you have a blog with menu, sidebar and footer, you can use this code in your html code with the main content in it and adsense will not consider the other non related element of the site.

<!-- google_ad_section_start -->
..
Only this content will be considered by google adsense
..
<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

if you want to avoid a particular section of the page (say menu or footer), you can use this code

<!-- google_ad_section_start(weight=ignore) -->
..
this content will NOT be considered by google adsense
..
<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

I am looking to insert the first code in the wordpress theme of the blog with something like this -

<!-- google_ad_section_start -->
<?php print $content ?>
<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

This will only target blog post content for adsense, I hope this will make the ads more targeted. I will keep this updated if I see some improvement.

Hi. Great info. Though I have a very low ranked website and I know I am not supposed to earn much, but clicks on my site have gone down rapidly in past one week..I hope section targeting will help me improve my situation.

Thanks a lot,
Zubin

I have a pet info/adoption blog. I have horrible ads coming up in my main blog page - today and all last week it’s drug rehab, colon detox and political things! If you click on an individual post, then it’s pet food, etc. WHY is this happening? A big national blog wants to include my RSS, but I won’t do this when these totally irrelevant ads are there all the time.

Where would I put:

in my blog?

Thanks,
J
