The title speaks itself. I just can't make it work in my site. My site is all about "childhood illnesses" but the ads (AdSense) is not relevant to my blog and it shows Buy and Sell stuffs. Can anybody help me regarding this concern and what is your advices?
Keywords, adsense mainly display ads on your site depending on your site keywords. Page title is important also, it helps.
You can poke adsense in the right direction with meta keywords on the page but that only goes so far. I made a few changes on my site like that and managed to get the CTR up from 0 to 0.06 so meta keywords makes a BIG difference if you've got a site that adsense doesn't work with. It would be really nice if you could direct adsense a bit better, it is shocking at working out what your site is about sometimes.
Give the adsense bot some time to look at your page and serve relavant ads. If your keywords are right then in time your ads will reflect this.
Yup, a new ad block can be very miss-y for the first 24 hours or until the adsense crawler comes around. Me, I've had the site up for 18 months so I'm resigned to the fact I just have an adsense-unfriendly website.
Try section targeting. Put this at the beginning of your text: <!-- google_ad_section_start --> and put this at the end of your text: <!-- google_ad_section_end -->
I dont think there are lots of publisher in child illness category thats why you are not getting relevant ads . Any way metatags can help you to have relevant ads
META keywords definitely makes a huge difference. also have you looked into other forms of advertising that may target better to that niche?
META keywords, title, h1, h2 etc..Everything single thing is important. But the most important thing is content.
That's wrong. The Google AdSense algorithm does not show ads that merely depend on the keywords on your website. The type of traffic your website gets is important, what page did the visitor come from? What search query did the visitor come from? That matters a lot. The thing is that most people don't realize is that they have little control over what google will show on your web page. You can use section targeting to choose the content that you would like the ads to match to help the algorithm figure out the purpose of your page. This is done by wrapping certain paragraphs of your content with special HTML tags. However, if you do it wrong it is not going to work. When section targeting, you must remain honest, and you must avoid using it to just manipulate the ads.
Another misleading advice. Google has no way of knowing what the page is actually about. The quality of content only matters for websites that you plan on working on for long periods of time. Why? Because people link to it. But by itself AdSense is unable to understand what the page is about. Google doesn't know what any of our pages are about, especially when so many people out there trying to manipulate their way to the top of search results. That's why their engineers constantly optimize the ads by taking measures and base ad relevance on things webmasters cannot control directly, or easily. Which is the right thing to do. Leave this problem to google engineers, and focus on writing good content. Anyone can be a good AdSense optimizer dude, but a very small number of people know how to write content beyond stuffing your pages with keywords. Why? Well, because you have to THINK about what you are doing, and that's something many people have a problem with. You need to ask yourself questions such as: What is the reason someone would link to my site? This question alone says a lot and raises the bar of what you must do. You have to know the answer to that question. You must be able to write credible content people want to read, or NEED to read in order to have their questions answered. You must teach yourself how to be a writer, and a teacher, you can't just put together random thoughts with what you believe you think about a subject. Or a brief mental description of "car insurance" and what you think about it. This stuff is not going to fly.
Have you tried installing google analytics to your website (it's free) this is what I did when I had the same problem and it seemed to automatically come right after like a day....could be a coincidence or could be bcos I installed google analytics...
@Webwaster I am very please with your reply and with that it came to my nerve to just keep doing what I am doing right now. As long as I am doing the quality contents then that's fine. All I have to wait is time and work on SEO stuff to get my site on top. @Deez Yes I already tried but it seems that your coincidence is yours only not on mine
i would suggest this: 1) google for child illnesses 2) get the top 3 illnesses 3) google those individual illnesses - and check out the top 3 pages - see if they have google ads pertaining to that particular illness (this will mean there are advertisers for that ) 4) now plug in these keywords into your "keywords" meta tag
It's possible that there is not enough ads that is related to your topic. Try to search in google for some related keywords about your topic and use it in your next post.
Inorder to get relevant ads, you could try- 1. Section Targeting - This method is to place special keywords between the most relevant content on a webpage. Google then, will use this content specifically to deliver more targeted ads. 2. Competitive URL filtering - to filter out URLs from which ads are displaying in your site.
As already told by other users you may use meta tags, titles. Google mainly target on title and meta tags, use your main keywords in title, meta tags related to your content. Also try to increase density of those main keywords in your content. Also try image Atl attribute, anchor tag title attribute may be google will see keywords related to your clogs in your blog and you will have relevant ads. Good luck...
