Every now and then you’ll startup a website and find that your Adsense Ads don’t perfectly match up with your content. I actually recently had this problem when I launched off a new Wordpress blog. For some odd reason my banner ads were relevant, but my text ads were related to Wordpress and Joomla which isn’t what my site was about. This problem only existed on the homepage. If you’re in this position, there’s one easy solution. Since I always seemed to have problems finding this code, I decided to create this post so I myself can refer back to it for future reference.
Simply place these tags in front and at the end of the text that clearly defines what ads you want on that page. It can be one paragraph or just one keyword. Doesn’t really matter. It may take up to a week or two before your page starts showing relevant ads. However, it usually starts working within a couple of days.
< !– google_ad_section_start –>
< !– google_ad_section_end –>
Visa versa, you can also target a section that you DO NOT want the Adsense system to factor in when generating your ads. I would recommend you use the other tags but you might want to try these tags out if you think they’re more appropriate.
<!– google_ad_section_start(weight=ignore) –>
<!– google_ad_section_end(weight=ignore) –>
