I have a problem here that i've been trying to figure out. The niche for my website is different than the niche of ads that I believe would do best on the site. scenario: Lets say my website is about small business or some sort of small business resource blog. If you search for such sites and look at what the content of their adsense ads are, it is stuff like "Small Business Grants" etc. I don't want this crap, what I want to focus in my ads is something specifically useful to the readers of my blog, like: small business web design I can't seem to figure out how it would be possible to have ads for "Small business web design" unless my whole blog was focused on Small Business Web Design, which wouldn't make sense. If I had a blog about web design, it would be teaching designers/would be designers how to do specific things, in which case they would not need someone else to do their designing as they would be designers. How could one focus on an ad niche like this?
Try makeing those keyword niches into external links. To small business web design landing pages, or maybe you could do a blog page on this subject and make it a landing page. Hartlepool Visitor ( More Than What You Think )
Are there any known ways to consistently focus my ads to be for this particular topic throughout my site?
yes by keywords and title and also by tag adsense content I do n't whether it works or not See this for more information http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=23238
There are some adsense tags you can use to highlight a section of the page. <!-- google_ad_section_start --> keyword or keyword content goes here <!-- google_ad_section_end --> This will emphasise that section of the page when showing ads.
Your post must be lacking keywords , when you write post or add content first write best suited tittle and than write content . Go to Google adword keyword tools and search for those keywords you are writing on . Than check which keywords related to your niche have more advertisers , use them in your post . This will help you to get targetted adds .
Your content should be more targeted. Also you can use the competitive filter to block ads you don't want.
