Which is more important to Google - Content or Money?

I run a wordpress blog, and like many bloggers face the issue with having most of my ads be for blogging, and not what I'm blogging about.(mostly on the main page). I have read in other threads about competitive ad blocker, but I wonder If by doing that it will only put lower valued blog ads, instead of switching to more relevent ads.

I'm not so sure if that made sense.

If anyone can help me with this, I'd appreciate it.

The phrase "blog" is listed about fifteen times that I counted within the text. It is also included in the title and in your URL. Since the majority of your posts don't follow a single theme/subject, "blog" becomes the dominant topic that Google can figure out.

 

i always get relevant ads to my latest posting. though section targeting doesn't seem to work for me.

 

usually ads are related to title

 

Thank youguys for your input. I will probably look ito some of the coding that I found thanks to Davilac.

 

I've tried section targeting on a couple of troublesome pages and didn't see that it made any difference. I would be interested in your results. Please post back here when you've given it a try.

 

I agree with ahearn. I tried Section tragetting and made Adsense to ignore blogs, but all my ads are blog related although none of my topic or content are related to Blogs. could somebody tell us how to avoid blog related ads and get topic related ads ? Thanx.

 

Can you give a URL example?

 

Same here, usually I just throw in a word akin to an ad I have seen before and it is sorted. However there are some pages on one of my blog that seem unable to show anything but PSAs

 

Even without the words blog mentioned anywhere I had these blog ads on new threads formed by my CMS. It seems Google tracks CMS pages as blog or CMS targeted ones at first, once they are indexed their ads become more relevant... just my own experience.

 

I have added aded ad start/stop notes in the main post template file. I will post if I notcie any kind of difference, but they say it might take a couple of weeks.

<!-- google_ad_section_start -->


<div id="content">
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

	<?php // Post dates off by default the_date('','<h2>','</h2>'); ?>
	<div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
	<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>	
	<div class="meta"><?php _e("Posted in"); ?> <?php the_category(',') ?> by <?php the_author() ?> on the <?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> <?php edit_post_link(__('Edit This')); ?></div>
	<div class="main">
		<?php the_content(__('(more...)')); ?>
	</div>
	</div>
<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

Code (markup):

 

my blogs never get blog ads...they always have a theme though...i also never use the word blog anywhere.

 

Contact AdSense support, explain to them the problem, and see if they'll block the word from your ad results. They've done it for me before, when I had a word in my site title that had a wide variety of meanings.

 

Thanks for the tip! I think I'll try that.
