Not sure if this should be in Google News or adwords. I guess this forum should really be the one for AdSense questions as it's about advertising.
Also, it seems that the site hangs in IE. Mozilla ( as usual ) works perfectly so use that.
Unlike the exising content targed ads you do not need 20 million visitors to put these ads on your site.
When a domain name is indexed but an inner site isn't, the inner site displays the ad that would display at the indexed top url.
Also, one of my sites featured information on weather for several cities including Phoenix, AZ and all it display was Phoenix ads.
Plus Google AdSense uses the GoogleBot cache of your site without have to recrawl it.
My take Just don't do anything with adsense code.It's a treasure tove that's not to be touched. :)
cdkrg>>I was thinking yesterday night abt the same idea,of why not block some words from being picked up by mediapartners-googlebot/
It's seems to make far more sense not have certain words picked from the site.I feel this serves lot of people's interests and makes a lot more sense.
What's their TOS say about that?

I don't understand what you mean
But I sincerely feel that's a goood suggestion for GG.It well serve not to have certain general words like this site is microsoft I.E6 friendly,this site is optimized by xyz,sponsored ads by xyz.
I hope you understand what I mean.

In addition, You grant Google the right to access, index and cache the Site(s), or any portion thereof, including by automated means including Web spiders or crawlers.
You could take this in one of two ways ;-)
1) This doesn't obligate you to let Google "access, index, and cache" the site in an identical way a Web surfer would.
OR
2) By "the Site(s)"... this implies unfiltered / unmodified access.
Oh, and there's also:
3) Google's well-known dislike for cloaking suggests painful wrath to all who'd dare to cloak.
For my part, I'm tempted to go the low-tech route, and simply add some extra keyword-loaded extra phrases to various pages to help Google along, e.g.:
I'd like to respectfully prod Google into understanding that this page is about travel... specifically, European travel, travel throughout Europe, traveling to Europe, and pretty much every possible Europe-like travel-sort-of-behavior that one could contemplate when booking airfare to the European continent. In fact, if one was ponder, "What are some handy tips I should know about for booking the cheapest flights to Europe and finding some great hotel bargains," I bet Google would kindly come to one's aid by showing relevant ads on the lefthand side of this page.
I wonder if that would get google to stop showing "quit smoking" ads on my blog's travel category? :D (and yes, all because I briefly commented about the prolific smoking in European bars... ack!)
Heck, I'm gonna try it! :D I'll try to remember to report back here what happens :)
ORIGINAL PAGE:
<html><body>
<h1>Great alloy Wheels</h1>
<p>We got loads of alloy wheels, and cool hub caps to sell, and don't really appreciate ads of competitors</p>
<p>by-the-by this site is served using the cool Apache webserver and MySQL database system, but is not about SEO at all and has nothing to do with webmastering and webmasters, although I'm sure AdSense won't realise that.</p>
</body></html>
When mediapartner bot comes by one could serve this:
CLOAKED PAGE:
<html><body>
<h1>Spoilers car mods, neon lights, car audio systems</h1>
<p>Let's see some related ads like for Spoilers, Car audio systems and other car mods. Perhaps even Nitro and engine boosting and modifications</p>
<p>No other unrelated stuff to confuse anybody</p>
</body></html>
Of course I'd hate to have to do this, so I beg for a simple inclusion/exclusion keyword option for each ad display, so I can pull them from a db and serve them right for each page:
googlead?include=spoilers;car+mods;audio+systems&exclude=alloy+wheels;hub+caps
(PS: all fictitious, I'm not active in any of those areas.)

edit: typos
1. Does Google collect information about my site?
We securely collect and store the information you provide us through your Google AdSense online account. We will also crawl your site periodically to serve the most relevant content ads on your site's pages.
Does this mean Google will crawl your website more if you sign up for AdSense? This could help out young websites or website that have trouble being crawled.
Just started Adsense on a few of my sites this morning.
Have been very pleased with the program, except for the following:
1: Most of the Ads are not related to the content on some of my sites.
Looks like G latched onto a word that is mentioned only once on the page. It is serving up Ads related to a word that appears only once in a "Sponsored by..." kind of a link.
For example, let us say one of my sites is about "road runner" and provides hints on how to outrun a coyote. It also has, at the bottom of the page, a statement that reads something like "This site is sponsored by Acme Widgets Company...." Goggle seems to have ignored what the site is all about, and is showing Ads competing with "Acme Widgets Company." Considering that this site is sponsored by "Achme Widgets Company," these Ads that compete directly with the sponsor of this site looks troublesome. Kind of impolite to the sponsors, you know... It would have been bad enough if the Ads shown were just out of context. Having Ads that are unrelated, but directly competing with the nice folks that sponsor this site makes it look real awkward.
2: I was considering to add some of those competitor sites to the filter but there are many companies that compete with Achme Widgets Company, so it is not practical to do so.
3: I think it would greatly help if there was a way to block unwanted/competitor Ads based on keywords/key-phrases. This way, we would have a way to help G serve up Ads that are related to the theme of our site(s), while keeping competitor Ads out without having to list every competitor that is out there.
I like the Adsense program in concept, but if this oddity continues, I may have no options but to hit the pause button while the dust settles. Can't afford to displease those sponsors, you know...
Any suggestions?
