Section targeting is pretty simple, all you do is surround the content that you’d like to emphasize with specially formatted HTML tags. Here is an example:
this content that you want to target goes here
You can also de-emphasize certain portions of your content using a very similar method:
the content that you want to ignore goes here
As a blogger using Google’s Adsense program, there are some special considerations you should take into account in order to best target ads on your pages and therefore maximize profit.
1. You can sue the ‘weight=ignore’ targeting code to tell Google to ignore the content in your sidebar as you will have other category links and stuff there which are not directly relevant to that particular post.
2. Use section targeting to tell Google to focus more on the content of your article which will work well if your Adsense block is near the content. If you Adsense block is near the comments then you can tell Google to focus on the comments.
3. Wherever you employ section targeting code, make sure to include a significant amount of content within the tags. Google indicates that there may be a penalty of less relevant ads or Public Service Announcements if you don’t include large chunks of text between tags. But you can use multiple sets of tags – say first two paragraphs and last paragraph of the content and then the comments.

Target Adsense is a free plugin for WordPress, created by MaxPower, which gives you the option to automatically target the content you have written on your blog as well as provide a way to target only specific portions of your content using the post and page editor.

The idea is that you can tell the AdSense bot what content the ads should be targeted at, and what to ignore. To read the full details, check out Google’s page at https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?answer=23168

Hope this helps someone along the way!

I posted my question on Part 3, but I realize now it would be more appropriate here.

How do you feel about Blogger’s feature that allows you to add your AdSense account to your Blogger account and generate ads that Google automatically determines to be relevant by searching the text in your most recent blog post?

I found that in a few sites where I was using Webstyle to produce the template of the ad. If I wasn’t careful then I ended up with a great looking page, but all the main headings were produced with graphics.

All of my ads were being based on my text content. And I found that after having the sites title, subtitle and menu system etc – all these had the main keywords of the page but google couldn’t see them. I found that I natually didn’t use the keywords as much when they were already in the titles.

So I converted a few of the graphic logos and menus to regular text and started getting more relevant ads right away.

Perhaps I am trying to be to broad in my work and need to narrow the keywords down. One question I do have is: Should there be a section where we have

keywords this, that, other

in some ways like the naughty picture people do.
