Adsense on a site that requires login

[tomasv]

Hiya,
I am running a site with quite alot of hits and im looking at using Adsense. The problem is that the main part (about 90%) of the pages requires you to be logged in to access them, so they are not spidered by Google.

How will this work with Adsense and is there any way to make Adsense use the information from the public pages to give me appropriate adds for the pages that requires login?

Any ideas or suggestions are very welcome :)

Thanks in advance!

My site is a large one (73.000 pages in Google) generally oriented to language. Some pages have, instead, very specific subjects, and usually get targeted reasonably well.

Reading the Adsense docs I had understood that Adsense targets ads just spidering the "host" page.

In effects, I have seen that while working on new pages in my site (pages that I am 100% sure that were never spidered before) I noticed that I sometimes get ads that are not targeted to the page, but to the "general feeling" of my site.

e.g. I am writing a page about widgets but I get ads about language.

Anyway, just give it a try! I does not take too much, does it?

Reading the Adsense docs I had understood that Adsense targets ads just spidering the "host" page.

Adsense targets each of my widget pages just about perfectly. I have white widget pages with white widget ads, black widget pages with black widget ads etc, etc.

All my index pages get different ads to each other since they all have differing widget details.

I have no idea if Adsense can spider pages which need you to be logged in however I do know that the green PR bar is definitely on some sites that I use where one has to be logged in. 02 in the UK is a perfect example of that.

Also, if everything else fails you might experiment in framing your protected section.

the top frame contains the ads ad a few words (accompaining the menu bar) that help adsens target the ads.

the lower frame is the logged-in section.

Similar alternative: iframes (?)

I know it's a crap solution that requires a lot of work and hurts the site structure, but I said "if everything else fails"
