Too Many Themes on One Page?

Discussion in 'AdSense' started by yfs1, May 11, 2005.

    I have been trying to get Ads to display on my article submission site Article Depot but have been unsuccesful.

    They display fine on any subpage
    i.e. Category
    or

    Individual Article

    I have tried putting some focused content in the bottom as well as in the title and description to try to set a theme.

    Am I suffering from splitting the theme by having the featured categories section?

    The DP sandbox shows all kinds of ads and the subpages show a plentiful supply.

    Should I change that middle section to add a bit more focus?

    Cheers

    The ads look focused to me - at least on that particular individual page. Others are showing search engine ads. I bet it probably has something to do with the traffic on those pages. I was frustrated last night when an ad wasn't showing up on my site, but after a while, it showed up fine. I think I just had to wait until adsense-bot had a chance to swing on by. In my case, it was showing an unrelated banner ad, and showing no "large rectangle" ad whatsoever.

    Thats the page that is confusing me. I will be putting up the code for alternate ads this week but I suppose I will just have to play with the Featured Articles sections.

    OT: LOL I see motorcycle helmet ads now in this thread. AdSense seem to build up a history and use that in future... Anything todo with your posts in the lightbulb and helmet head threads perhaps? :D

    On that page I see text saying "Public service Ads by Google" but thats all, no actual ads.

    The inside pages all have two banks of ads showing.

    THats what drives me crazy sometimes, AdSense can serve Motorcycle Helmet ads here when it was never even mentioned but can't come up with a single ad sometimes when there is tons of content.

    I will just got the trial and error route to try to sort it

    Ditto on PSA's, that's just odd, your KW and Description tags are set, it is sandwiched between relevant content and yet still PSA.

    I may take out the center piece, put an article in until it displays ads, then put it back.

    It just seems like its stuck or something.

    The other weird thing is there is a theme because if someone posts an article, general ads show up instantly, and then they become themed after a few minutes.
