Adsense does NOT understand my content!

I've been reading posts for a couple hours now but could not find something pertaining to my particular problem.

I have a comedy blog about Christians in Space, www.christiansinspace.com , and I have put Adsense and Chitika and AdBrite on it.

At first the only ads that would show up were about SEO and Wordpress. Now all that shows up is ads for Christian dating! or GAY stuff...

I changed the ads to image only to at least limit the Christian stuff..

The point is, Christians are not my key demographic. It's mostly college students, atheists, and skeptics.

Any suggestions on how I should get ads that would appeal to those demographics? Like cheap college books, or books on how Jesus did not exist?

Sorry for my EXTREME NOOBriety ... please excuse.

 

Well how should Adsense know? Place some relevant keywords in your content. As smart as adsense might be, it doens´t know how to handle ironical stuff

If you did so, how long have you been watching your ads? It might take some time till your ads change to some more relevant stuff.

Bye

 

Well try to ad some new keywords related to your topic, this will probably change your ads

 

Well, it's been about a week. I do put relevant keywords in there like: atheism, skeptical, skeptics, college, college books, education, humor, and jest

And it's Google! come onnnnn lol

 

Google is software.

How many people advertise in your niche.

Google can only work with what you give them.

 

Comedy and Space? What kind of ads are you expecting. Adsense is people advertising on your site to get traffic that can convert to sales, money, ect.

Give it some time like everyone else said. Then Google will server better ads for you.

 

you should add some other keywords contented content to let adsense show those kind ads on your site.since adsense only show ads match or related to your articles content.good luck.

 

I'll try other keywords. How many keywords should I put in? Is there a max?

As of yet I have 1 click, and I'm pretty sure it was my little brother who did it. One click in 8 days! It's pathetic.

 

The problem is that most of your jokes are images and the Adsense bot can't seem them. Ad some more text to your site (not just a list of keywords) and you are more likely to get ads relevant to that text.

But you might do better on your site with affiliate-type ads anyway. If you are targeting the college crowd put ring tone and chemistry.com affiliate ads and you are likely to earn more than you would with Adsense anyway.

 

WOW, I did not even think about putting on affiliate ads. I'm already looking into it, thanks!!

 

I think Google don't have the relative ADs in your website.

 

Affiliate ads or non-context-sensitive ads are going to be your only option, until you have a lot of relevant text on the site.

You have a highly-sought-after keyword in your domain name. Any context sensitive system will give you christian ads, unless they have a "block keyword" option.

As far as I know, google offers this option to adwords users, but not adsense publishers. I could be wrong on that, though.

 

Agreed with those who proposed selecting some affiliate offers.

Adsense has a very limited portfolio of intergalactic Christian comedy-related ads. I have a comedy site about Christians in space too, and while I got some ads for an open-mic night at a church on Saturn's 4th ring, and one from God himself asking people to please be quiet when flying their spaceships around the Chronos Nebula after 10pm, by far the vast majority of ads were irrelevant.

 

I see you tried out chitika. How is it? I dont see much difference in adsense and chitika. Adsense is heavily biased towards US users and chitika shows ads to us visitors only. Not much of a difference. Anyway I suggest you try some CPA offers

 

thanks for these gppd tips.
