Hi guys, I just started a new website http://www.petmemorialwall.tk and all I get from Adsense are PSA's. The Adsense help discription about why you get PSA's is long and diverse. My best guess is sensitive contest, so I look around a little here and found a list of Stop Words. I removed "dead" and "passed away" so that might be it. But my question is does anybody see anything else wrong that might explain this? I was kind of counting on Adsense, not for the big money, but to cover the costs. Or, do you see ads? I tried the preview tool to see if it might be a regional problem but to no avail. Cheers Peter
Maybe it's because Memorial can easily be mixed up with death/killing thus serving you PSA's about Donating etc.
That is of course what you should get, but I still see only PSA's, also with the preview tool. From what region are you looking at the site? I'm looking at it via a Belgian ISP.
I have had a look around at other memorial sites and they get adsense ads. There even are special ads for memorial related topics like urns, memorialstones etc.
I deleted "dead" and "passed away", made some other changes as well resulting in new urls (get vars) and I'm seeing Ads now. Of course it is possible that this is caused by the new and thus uncrawled URL's? I'm wondering if it will stay this way now, fingers crossed! [EDIT] Nope, they are already disappearing again, the PSA's are taking over again. This is driving me crazy! [/EDIT]
Is it possible for you to put a Leader above the wall? And take out the skyscraper? I think this will generate sometype of ads it may not be relevent yet! But it's a start. I also noticed the wall code has a lot of repeats prolly becausei t hasn't been filled, this maybe considered keyword spam and this maybe another reason why you're getting PSA's.
That is possible of course, but it will push a part of the wall out of sight and I designed the site so I could use the skyscraper format as I read that it's better not to use the banner formats. Interesting thing you say there about the keyword spam. So you think that the repeating ALT="" and TITLE="" tags might be the problem? I used them for tooltip purposes only in the empty wall spots, so I could remove them as there is already a gif showing more or less the same thing. Of course, as the wall will fill up, the "name, click to read the memorial" will be repeated over and over again with only name being different.... Can I solve this by putting the exclusion code around the wall code maybe?
To test where the problems is at I divided the page in 2. So here is one with only the text: http://www.petmemorialwall.tk/intro.html?load=pets en here is one with only the wall: http://www.petmemorialwall.tk/wall.html?load=pets Now I'll just wait until they are crawled and see on which one the ads are replaced with PSA's. Hopefully not on both
Splitting up the page in 2 told me nothing, Splitting it up in 6 even less (I guess most parts had to little text now to get relevant adds, exept the support part) Whatever I do, I can't get rid of the PSA's on the homepage. The link page and the page where you can read memorials look fine to me, you want always see adds there, but I think that's because the crawling hasn't been done over yet for all the possible url's. I tried the sectional codes and excluded the wall and part of the text but that doesn't help.Does anybody have any ideas? If not I'm going to search for some good pet related affiliate programs. However, those don't pay now where near wat google pays.
Hi Peter, I took a look at your website, and I'm seeing PSAs, as well. (I'm located in the Eastern United States.) The only thing I can see that may be causing this is that there's not much content. The content that's there seems pretty targeted, but there may not be enough in total to serve an ad. Other than that, your site looks good, and should display AdSense with no problems. As an "interim fix" while you sort this out and/or search for pet-related affiliate programs, you may want to take a look at Allfeeds.com (http://publisher.allfeeds.com) - I'm an affiliate, and have used their 'Google Backfill' program to replace PSAs on some of my sites. HTH, Sam
Hi, here I am again with an old topic. Reason for that is that I revisited the split-up parts of the troublesome page and what did I see? Everywhere google Ads except on one page so now I know which part of the page is causing the trouble. If you go to http://www.petmemorialwall.tk/ and scroll down you will see "Add you pet memorial". That line and the text below up until the white line is not generating any ads when I put it on a page by itself. Hence, there is the problem! Of course you can say there is not enough content, but all the others, including the copyright line do generate good google ads when put seperately on a page. So can anybody detect what is wrong with the add your memorial part? BTW, if you have a look around and go to the page of Iris (upperright corner cat) you will see that the word dead is used in the text and no probs at all there. So I don't think that me hinting about dead is doing this. Besides, crossing the rainbow bridge is also used in the "about" part and there again without any trouble at all.
This whole "stop-word" thing is just a real headache, plain and simple. Especially when you're running an upstanding, totally legit (even family-friendly) site, and you unknowingly slip one of the really silly stop-words-that-shouldn't-be-stop-words in in the course of your writing, and it kills your adsense just like that. Say one word wrong (and totally innocently) and boom, PSA's for days sometimes! I'm a huge horror movie fan and have been thinking about doing a horror film website, but I want adsense there, yet I can't imagine the complexities I'll have trying to babysit a site like that, with all the typical "horror" words you simply can't get around using in that world. How could you do it?? Seems like you'd get nothing but PSA's, unless you sit and weigh heavily every single word you use and constantly water down what you're really trying to say, just to keep it all as adsense-safe as possible. And boy would that be a lot of work! I abhor the whole stop-word thing (the shockingly rigid, sweeping, and overly simple way Google handles it anyway) and their resultant PSA's now. Again, especially in cases where you're truly doing nothing at all to warrant the triggering of the stops, and then getting fed the wholly unasked-for PSA's. Ugh.
