Targeting Ads?

Discussion in 'AdSense' started by Kestal, Nov 28, 2007.

    I am pretty new to adsense (going on 1 month) and make a bit of money through some of my projects. I just set up a website with 3 niches in it (close together, but still relevant yet separate from each other). Hopefully I can explain this right.

    The main part of my site is basically the layout and navigation menu on the left, and content on the right. Through the navigation menu, the content on the right opens up new pages through iframe/frame for easy switching.

    I had hoped this would separate the ads properly so that each niche would have its own separate ads. When I try it out on my computer and just open the page up separately without frames, the ads work fine (niche 1 displays ads that belong to niche 1, niche 2 display ads belonging to niche 2).

    When I try to open it up from my actual website on the internet, the ads from niche1 are displayed in the other niche. (keywords are different, titles are different, headings are different. Niche 2 does not even mention any important keywords from niche 1). Niche 1 ads pay more so its not like its the end of the world, though my niche 2 articles revenue will suffer because people who go to that side do not want to see ads that should belong only in niche 1.

    Hopefully I have explained it right and not given anyone a headache. Hopefully I have not overlooked anything completely simple, either. Any ideas? Thanks for the help. (I haven't had this problem before, but then again, I haven't tried to separate the ads like this before).

    P.S. Would Google section targeting work if I sectioned off the iframe script (from my main layout) and force the ads to be independent? I tried wrapping it around my iframe (pretty much right as I posted this) though it didn't do anything as of yet.

    Another PS/Edit: I just want to make sure I can do it through this method before writing out another few articles (600-1000 words each) then realizing it won't work the way I had hoped.

    *sigh* I had hoped that wouldn't be the case. It kind of works though not in the place that I want. the articles show niche1 but the main layout (nav/header on the left and top) show the correct niche ads that should be displayed in the frame, even though I did not wish for it. (I've tested it and they are pretty accurate, even my link ads at the top of the page). Though through the iframe/frame (I had hoped it could be independant), is the problem :(

    Thank you for the quick response, FairyOfLove.

    I was just curious if it was possible because if I open up the HTML independently the proper ads were shown. Though the ones in the frame through my site were not. :( It was a sad realization about 3000 - 4000 words in, on my second topic when I realized the ads on the website did not show up properly. All that time I was testing it locally and it worked. *sighs*

    Edit: Besides, like *I* previously mentioned, the ads outside the frame pertained to the ads that were on the inside of the frame. (which is great, though I did not even expect that to be affected). So my idea has partly worked, by the way. It was just on the ads that were on the inside of the frame that didn't.

    Sorry for the rudeness, FairyOfLove. Again, for the quick response, thank you. It seems that I got it to work with my frame method now :) So I am happy :)

    Each section has its own ad category. The main layout (out of the frame) is independent and is not effected by the niche topics (like I wanted). So thus far, I am displaying 4 different ad categories within my website - to pertain to each article section that has a different topic all together. heh... watch it change back in an hour. :'( (I have already started to work on what you suggested in case if it does change - I also emailed google to see if this is compliant with their TOS before I continue)

    I was just frustrated at the fact that all of my articles could have been pointless, with as much SEO planning as I had put into them. :|
