    Make Money Online With Google Section Targeting:

    On my last post about making money with Google AdSense, I talked about the Google Bid Gap and how having less ads could equal more dollars. Today, I want to talk about Google section targeting.

    Google section targeting is an often unused resource for many bloggers. This is no doubt due to the fact that most blog owners don’t even know what section targeting is. If you want to make money online with Google AdSense, then section targeting is something you need to understand and use.

    What Is Section Targeting

    Are you having trouble getting Google to show more targeted AdSense ads on your blog? Most of the time, this comes about because the blog content isn’t highly targeted to the keywords you’re after. This is especially true for a blog because the posts can ramble from one topic to the next. Google tries its best to figure out what the general theme of a blog is and serve the most appropriate ads. However, you can help it out by section targeting your content.

    Section Targeting allows you to recommend key sections of your article for AdSense to emphasize or downplay when selecting ads for your blog. In other words, instead of having Google spidering your entire page to select AdSense ads, you tell Google which parts of your content to target and which parts to ignore.

    Are you talking about the <!-- google_ad_section_start --> and end thing?

    I use that in a blog and it works well.

    I haven't heard from anyone who endorses it with enthusiasm either, so it seems like it's not worth the trouble. I can see the logic if you have a page with say, blog posts that differ widely in their topic areas. But for most site pages, it seems unnecessary.

    If that's his motivation then he's in for disappointment. Adsense earnings here are very poor.
