Make Your Ads More Relevant With The Content

Do you have blogs that contain multiple topics?

Blogs that contain multiple topics, like my blog, usually don't have relevant ads that match with your post. This could happens because adsense crawler difficult to determine what keyword your blog really targeted.

There are some ways to facilitate the crawler gaining your targeted keyword.

1. Only show ads at individual post. By using this method, keywords harvested from a single post are more targeted and you can increase CTR rate.
2. If you are not satisfied yet with the first method, you may use section targeting feature from google adsense. By using section targeting, you explicitly suggest to adsense crawler what keyword you're really targeting.

How to show ads only at individual post.
Anyone still using classic blogger template, can use conditional tags feature. I can't find any clue from blogger help about implement the feature in new layout blogger template, but it's still possible to do that by using simple tweak.
The basic idea with this method is detecting whether the current page showed is individual post or main page by read the URL.

For example, blog main page's URL should be

http://www.***.blogspot.com/

When you visit a post, the URL should be

http://www.***.blogspot.com/****/**/***.html

See the clue? Individual post should end by ".html".

Now, create a page element where you want to show the ads and add this script code.

<script type="e;text/javascript"e;>
var tURL = window.location.href;
var tLength = tURL.length;
var suffix =  tURL.substring(tLength - 5);
if (suffix=="e;.html"e;)
document.write("e;Your adsense code here"e;);
</script>

How To Use Section targeting
Section targeting is feature from Google adsense to allows you to explicitly suggest sections of your content that you'd like to target with the ads.

To implement section targeting, you'll need to add a set of HTML comment tags to your code. These tags will mark the beginning and end of section you'd like to targeting the ads.

The tags format:

<!-- google_ad_section_start -->
Your important content here
<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

You may add this tags as many as you like in a single page.
