Since google is not providing users to specify keywords to prevent misuse

G doesn't provide users to specify keywords maybe becuase of misuse to target high paying keywords, I have two suggestions to increase ad relevancy :
1). Allow users to specify negative keywords which are showing on their sites, Adsense should avois serving ads related to those keywords.
2). Use functionality similar to "google suggest" to present publisher to select keywords with matching site targeting,i.e. publisher will only be able to select keywords what SUGGEST thinks are logical/relevant to publishers site but publisher can't just use any keyword to target ads.

The idea of negative and/or positive keywords has been discussed here in the past, but Google obviously hasn't yet chosen to implement it for non-premium publishers. Section targeting is a step in the right direction, though. Have you tried that?

Tried section targeting but not of much help.

I suggestet something like

<meta name="anti" content="blue-widgets">

For a page where I publish a negative article about blue-widgets.

Section targeting does not work, from my experience. Tried it today, and I've had to take AS off some pages altogether because the ads appearing have been ludicrous enough to be a distraction and bad for users - they're actually comical and/or insulting to visitors.

Yes, I changed the ad sizes - I even went so far as to nuke some pages off the site totally on a certain topic several weeks ago, and ads for that topic have still been showing up on the site.
