from Digital Inspiration: Display relevant Ads in Blogs: Just suggest Google
Amit Agarwal has
a good tip regarding section targeting for AdSense. An excerpt from his post:
Your personal profile may say that you are a die-hard soccer fan, user comments might contain spam and links to Viagra stores, the Previous Posts may contain totally unrelated topics like 'US Outsources Teachers' or 'Google releases Dance 2005 pictures'.
Your article on 'Web Hosting' may occupy just 50% of your precious blog Real estate while the rest is grabbed by everything else.
What do you do then. Here comes Google Adsense Section Targeting to your rescue. Just tweak your HTML a bit and force Googlebot to focus only on specific content.
He goes on to provide an example of modifications to one's Blogger template, and specific points to keep in mind. This concept is not specific to Blogger users; if you understand the underlying template code of your blogging platform, you can apply the concept shown in his post to your blog template.
Amit's blog is very informative on all manner of technological things, and he has done a great job with the customization of his blog using the Blogger template language; the placement of ads on his site is fairly inobtrusive and the ads are always content-specific. His blog is an example of how to do a lot with a little. My
placement of del.icio.us and technorati links in posts was inspired by his list of links attached to each of his posts.
technorati tags: adsense, contextual ads, blogger, google
