Google Adsense not displaying relevant ads

devilzfan300 · 07-05-2007, 11:02 AM

I thought I remember reading a post that you can use certain tags to tell google adsense what type of content you want your ads to be about? If you look at my site, www.searchpurple.com, at the bottom I have text links, but they are not relevant at all. I want webmaster stuff. Is there a way to fix this?

Update your content, Adsense are frequently based on your site's content.

Maybe if you add in a description for your site as being a webmaster tool or something, that may help.

I opened your site 3 times.
and everytime, bottom adsense link was related to your site content.
I think, it's ok rightnow.

How is that relevant? Its talking about flowers and stuff. The site is a web directory and should be targeting webmasters. I worked on my meta tags and currently am trying to optimize words, but hopefully it will pick up soon.

The geotargetting can give some strange results ... where are you / your ISP?

Hello,

As you know, google places ads based on the content of your site. Well, you have a link there about home and gardening, hence adwords about that. I saw adwords called "cool kids", but you have a kids and teens section, hence the ads are perfectly appropriate to your page (maybe now what you want to see, but appropriate none the less).

Google does have a tag:



Content here



This is supposed to "suggest" to google that they should consider using the content between those tags more heavily.

It does not mean that google will, and it certainly doesn't mean they will ignore the rest of your page.

Why not place those link ads on all the other pages, then you should see targetted ads for the individual categories?

By the way, they say that using the above tags is not instant, it can take a few weeks. I personally dont think they work, I placed the exact same question on my site Adsense is displaying non targeted ads a few weeks back and I placed the tags there to check but it never improved.

Regards,

John
