Secret of Adsense, How Getting Targeted Ads ?
AdSense publishers make money by getting clicks on the ads which display on their websites. There are many ways to build profitable AdSense websites, but too often webmasters complain that they are not getting the right kind of ads to display, or their clicks are extremely low paying. So forums and message boards are constantly filled with the same types of questions: How do I make AdSense perform better on my site?
And the answer is quite simple. It really is all about the content. AdSense is a contextual advertising service. This means it is specifically designed to show ads which it feels are related to the content it finds on your pages. And there are certain types of content on a website page which will carry more weight than others, so the AdSense system may display ads based on small portions of your page instead of the entire thing.
One of the most common problems new webmasters have is when they set up a blog to run AdSense on. They quickly find that no matter how much content they add to the site, the AdSense ads insist on running ads about blogging - even if this blog has nothing to do with blogging itself.
The reason this happens is usually caused due to something in the content of your pages. It's often related to the title of a website page, the meta tags on that page, or the headers being used on the pages. Let's look at this in more detail...
1. Website titles.
Each page of your website should always have a unique title that is specifically related to the content on your page. The title of a website page can be seen at the very top of your website browser when you visit the page. If your website title has the word "blog" in it, you increase the chances of AdSense thinking your site is about blogging, thus is may start showing ads all about blogging.
So instead of creating a website or web page title which says "My blog", try changing that to something that relates to the content of your blog. If you're writing about your weight loss success for instance, then make your website page titles say something like "my weight loss success".
2. Meta Tags.
Too many people wrongly believe that website meta tags are no longer important. And I'll repeat: They are wrong. Meta tags may not have as much influence on your search engine rankings as they used to, but they are still used for a variety of things. And one thing they have a heavy influence on, is the type of AdSense ads which will be displayed on your website pages.
Just by putting a few, relevant keywords into a keyword meta tag on each of your website pages, you'll see a difference in the targeting of your AdSense ads. If you put several good, relevant keywords into a meta tag though, plus add a meta tag description for your website, you will see drastic differences in how well the ads are targeted. And often you'll see the newly targeted ads start showing up within minutes of making these small changes.
3. Header Tags.
The header tags used within your website are those which have H1, H2, H3 and so on around them. These are called header tags, and they are there to help with layout, formatting, and organization of a website page. The words you put into these tags however, have a major influence on the types of ads which are shown in your AdSense blocks. So be sure to use these tags wisely, and keep the content in them tightly focused to the theme or topic of your website page.
