> I doubt they will ignore the parts of your page you don’t put in these tags – otherwise it would be used by spammers to put up high paying ads on low paying content pages.

sorry to tell this, but i have seen the first pages that totally controlled the adsense ads, independend from the main page content. I prognosticate this targeting feature will be targeted by spammers very hard. lot to do for google adsense team.

I think they will also check in with the content itself to see patterns – but especially on the keyword density side, this needed to be done.

Yes, there will be problems with spammers, but in general I have been wanting this for ages – because at the moment I was finally thinking of introducing things like last comment etc as javascript or something similar to get it downplayed.

Competition is good, looking forward of what comes next :))))))

I have seen the “optimized” adsense on my blog which shows number of ads depending on their relevance to the site. It hasn’t worked out for me because previously there were 4 ads in the leaderboard ad unit (all of them pretty relevant) but now it shows only 1 or 2 ads.

I have noticed this adsense optimization only in the horizontal ads. The skyscrappers and other vertical units are not effected, at least on my blog.

I just set up my sidebars to be ignored and my posts (index page and single pages) to be targeted. Hopefully this works.

WRT the FireFox extension getting broken, it was already broken on Macs, so maybe this will be enough for it to get fixed.

Just so everyone knows, it appears these updates broke the Firefox extension that sits on your status bar and pings your Adsense account.

This is really good news!

Do you think the section targetting can just be used to ignore sidebar content? Would one template change fix the whole relevancy problem?

cheers,

Where’s the “Block Link Unit Terms” feature? :( I hope they come up with that.

Thanks for the tip on the section targeting… I was just wishing that there was a way to avoid having my sidebar content mess up my ad targeting. Hopefully this will work as intended. Cheers, nickel
