Is there anyway of targeting adsense ads better ??

[jimkirk1943]

Hi guys,
Is there anyway of targeting the ads better ??

I have a adsense site on hair Straighteners, On the home page it has great ads from top brands no problem.

But i`ve created inner pages on a certain brands `Hai Straighteners`and a couple of other brands but the ads show for `babyliss Straighteners` `travel Straighteners` and afew others.

If i`ve created a inner page for a certain brand i really need the ads to be for that brand its no good people finding my site looking for Hai Straighteners and seeing only `babyliss, philips, travel` Straighteners !! And i cannot filter them out because they work for the homepage ?

When i type hai Straighteners into google it has plenty of hai adds on the right so why am i not getting more targeted ads any advise ??

Cheers Jim

You can use the competitive ad filter to remove unwanted adverts.
Log in to your adsense account, click adsense setup, click Competitive Ad Filter, enter the ad URLS in the box below.

To get the URLS of the ads, use the adsense preview tool

Here's the link to download the tool complete with instructions on how to use it.

You can use these tags:-

PHP Code:

<!-- google_ad_section_start -->


<!-- google_ad_section_end --> 


and wrap them around your most important content , ie the content you want them to match ads against.

Hi yes i know this but by doing this i filter out the ads on the homepage too and they work for the homepage, or can i filter out ads of certain pages only ?? I havent seen this feature /

To learn about the script above - go to adsense and look up "section targeting" for explanation - can be done page by page if needed.

Has anyone had any luck with "section targeting"? I have tried using the tags, but they did not help with having G show more relevant ads.

[Kay King]

Yes - wouldn't suggest it if I hadn't used it.

You have to read the instructions - and follow the steps rather than just stick the target script in.

It can take a few days for the targeting to catch on - but it does work. I don't have targeting problems on html sites but I did have target trouble with blogs and that's where I used it in the past.

Be sure that the file name of the web page contains the keyword you are targeting as this is a strong influence on the Google bot's interpretation of what your site is about.

For instance, if you are aiming for ads concerning natural remedies for acne be sure the page filename is similar to "natural-remedies-for-acne.html" as this is an important indicator to the Adsense software which visits your site.

A problem can also arise when you set up your web page on the site before it is complete. Google bot examines what is there and responds to the early material, even if you start with a template for insurance and later change it to, say, natural health products. It's better to complete the page before activating Adsense and placing the page on the site. Otherwise you get the insurance ads when you wanted natural remedies for Acne.
