Adsense > WordPress nightmare!

    I have adsense on my new blog which is about web design, templates, css, java etc. Basically Adsense is spitting out crap ads like : SETTING UP BLOGS, DEFINE BLOGS, MAKING BLOGS, etc.

    When I put the same code into the sidebar of a html site it gave me ads like javascript, css, etc, ads that worked perfectly, but now on wordpress it is spitting out bad ads.

    Is there any way to get around this?

    Some things you can try

    Put “meta” in your header file, like Keywords and Description. I just did it by hand-code, not sure if there’s a plugin.

    Get the Google Sitemap plugin, that’ll alert Google to index your page more often.

    Also, just wait. If your blog is new, Google is still getting familiar.

    I’m using the adsense deluxe plugin, will putting meta tags in the header affect the output of those too? Literally I just treat the header file like a (html index page for example) and drop the code in?

    This helps a lot: https://www.google.com/support/adsense/bin/answer.py?answer=23168&topic=8441

    Basically you add some code to your template to tell Google where the real relevant bits are (the posts). Around the rest of it, like the sidebars and such, you add code telling Google to ignore that content when determining ads.

    Also, wait a week or so after you add the section targeting tags to your site. It can take that long to notice the changes.

    In regards to Otto42’s post – I am on the Adsense site and it menations html etc, is that relevent and do the same principles apply to php?

    Yes. You could add those snippets into your theme files around the_content() tags (the start one before the_content and the end after it). For instance, this is from my theme’s single.php:
    <!-- google_ad_section_start -->
    <?php the_content('<p class="serif">Read the rest of this entry &raquo;</p>'); ?>
    <!-- google_ad_section_end -->

    Specifically trying to get adsense to notice the categorie names in the sidebar (where text ads are), is that possible here?
