My proxy is experiencing a lot of traffic from Iran. I have a large Adsense block on the first (landing) page of the proxy (http://www.mediahug.com/proxy/), but the smaller adsense link block I have on the proxified pages themselves doesn't always turn up. Another problem I want to know about is whether Adsense serves Arabic ads. How would I best serve these ads on the proxified pages?
I can only answer one of your three questions and that is does Adsense serve Arabic ads. Apparently they now do: http://adsense.blogspot.com/2006/08/blog-post.html
Thanks... It mentions it's for "adsense for search". I'm guessing that by now they're serving these ads in normal adsense blocks.
Iranians speak Farsi, yes, and AdSense does serve geo-targeted language ads. I've seen Arabic ads while traveling, so it' IP-based targeting.
Proxies are big over there in the Middle East, I think it is because there government blocks alot of sites
