    I have google ads on my site. However, the my site is a membership community, so I'm assuming, the googlebots can't see the content because the need for php session cookies. This is causing the google ads to be totally irrelevant to the content of my site. How can I fix this? I figured out that if I put some content before the secure script is called robots will pick that up, however, for particular reasons associated to my site that is not going to work for me. But, meta tags would if that is possible. Can I put a meta tag before the <html> and <head>? Will that be a problem with the google bots seeing the meta tags discription and keywords, and not seeing any page content because of the membership script? Will I get in trouble because of that? If I was to make invisible content to the viewer but the robots could see it, would that get me in trouble if the content IS the exact same visible content that is viewable in the protected part of the page? I'm thinking of using <!-- -->, or any other idea I can come across.

    Also, I've been told that if I put the page in frames, I can create adsense with an attribute informing Google's mediabot to look at a specified frame for the content. Does anyone have any experience with this? And if so, what exactly are the codes to get this done?

    The ads will come from your meta, or file name if they can find anything from specific content in a page. so work with your meta and file names.

    Thanks

    So then, I'm assuming that there won't be a problem with google when the bot only sees meta info and no content.

    But my main question on this will be, is there a problem with putting <meta> before <html> and <head>, not just with google, but with anything?

    google always says that static pages or pages with less database will do good job in adsense

    Depends on whether you want to build HTML-compliant sites which will stand a chance of working on all browsers, doesn't it?

    META tags belong inside the HEAD section.

    You may be able to fiddle it to work with some browsers, I don't know. But do you really want to take that risk?

    Is this a phpBB forum by any chance? or vBulletin?

    If so, there are MODS to delete session cookies for "Guests" not logged in, which includes spiders. Do this and the AdSense bot will have no trouble serving up relevant ads.
