Need Help with Adsense Showing Correct Topic

Sheryl Polomka · 04-16-2009, 01:44 AM

This is frustrating me something chronic.

Here is a site I recently created Kids Clothing Online and the Adsense ads on the home page are not related to the niche. If you click on a page or an individual post the ads are fine, they are related, just not on the home page.

This is a Wordpress site and I have tried everything I can think of but can't get those home page ads to be related.

Deluxe Coach Bags this is another site I created exactly the same way as the above one and this one is working fine.

Any suggestions?????

This happened to me on my site, so I know what you are going through. What you can do is use section targeting. You put tags around the content you want the ads targeted to, and Google gives more weight to the content in the tags. It takes a couple of days for the new ads to show up, but it does work. If you're still not getting relevant ads after a couple of days, play around with the tags until the ads come out right.

I remember seeing a 'hint' in the Javascript code of Adsense, where you can specify a list of topics, concepts, or keywords that your site is about.

You may want to remove the word "online".
It is in several of your keywords and your title as well. It also shows up a number of times in your copy.

That is prolly what is triggering all the "online" related ads such as for hosting and WP.

adsense will pick up on keywords on your page and display what it believes is related, try and be more specific with your keywords and phrases, use the meta tag area - it still works fine - good for seo also

Thanks guys, I will try what Susan suggested and I will have a look to see if I can find what Traffic Bug suggested.

I don't think its the word 'online' that is causing it as I have another site that is doing the same thing and it doesn't have the word 'online' it is very clean with its keywords in the url, titles, everything but still doing the same thing.

I have used meta tags in the header and also have the seo plugin with the meta details all filled in and still doesn't change anything.
