Site showing "wrong" ads

I have a site about watercolour painting. How can I stop AdSense supplying ads for 'painters and decorators' which are irrelevant?

 

They might be only ads they have similar to your site right now.

You can also work on keywords of your site to get better ads. Search forum for google ignore for keywords. Use code around any word you do not want ads for.

 

Many thanks.

 

you can also block the unwanted ads with using your competitive ads filter

 

It would be nice if AdSense had a negative keywords feature like the one in AdWords.

 

You can try putting more keywords related to watercolor painting on your page.

 

I'm having the same problem with on my website, the ads are completely irrelevant.

I would think one reason is that are not many advertisers for that keyword so google uses the most relevant ads.

 

Try to add some contents to your site with your favorite keywords highlighted !

 

link to pages that you are having trouble getting ads for? maybe one of us can point out if there are any glaring issues with content layout

 

Try using section targeting. This page explains it:

concentrate your keyword a lot more.
Until your desired keyword beated and win another irrelevant.

Good luck

 

Use the words "art" and "artwork" rather than "painting". And take the "u" out of "watercolour". You'll get more ads with "watercolor".

 

section targeting is the best thing you can try.

It will solve most of the issues

 

i have also had this issue and adding keywords will work.also add an H1 and H2 tag with them

 

Are you sure that AdSense is displaying wrong ads in all geographic locations ? Try putting your URL in the AdSense Sandbox and pick a country different from your own - Do you still see "wrong" ads ?

 

You can use these commands to tell google which content to use for displaying ads.

<!-- google_ad_section_start -->

<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

 

Hey! How do I do this. I want the method. Please, PM me. I am hungry coz even my site is not displaying relevant ads.

 

For example, if you want ads related to keyword 1, keyword 2, keyword 3 and so on then use these commands like this

if you have some content like this

xxxxxxxxxxxxx keyword 1xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxkeywrod 2 xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.....

then use the commands

<!-- google_ad_section_start -->
xxxxxxxxxxxxx keyword 1xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxkeywrod 2 xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.....
<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

Put the relevant content whcih you want google to use for displaying ads between these commands

I think those are relavent ads. They might pay out more too.
