I have a question for those that use Adsense on a blog. If you have the adds on the first page of your blogs, are they relevant to your blog topic, or are they just about blogging in general? I recently added the program to my blog to have content-relevant adds, which took a few days to come through. At the moment I have the adds underneath my posts - some appear and some don't. Those that do appear are about blogging, whilst my blog is about animals and being a veterinary student. I'm wondering if they will become more relevant as the googlebots have time to investigate my site and find the content, or will I have to tweak this in some way? Thanks in advance.
the adsense ads on a blog are AS RELEVANT to each individual article posted as YOUR SEO IS for each individual article posted. hence it is your professional editorial work that defines the relevancy of ads appearing - provided you write about topics where google has an ad inventory to offer your pages !!! I have a high traffic volume blog and get perfectly matching relevant ads to my fullest satisfaction.

In a Blogger template those equate to these template elements. <data:adStart/> <data:adEnd/> Code (markup): You want your content between those. Somthing like this. I haven't included the entire template section, but the idea is there. <b:includable id='post' var='post'> <data:adStart/> <h2><a expr:href='data:post.link'><data:post.title/></a></h2> <div class='post-container'><data:post.body/></div> <data:adEnd/> </b:includable> Code (markup): Some templates either don't include those markers at all, or include them in such a way that all they do is exclude Adsense code from the target section. I've had changes in relevance after one day every time I've altered Blogger templates.
