How to make Adsense ads appearing on my site?

Chinese site with English keywords

[leunga]

I am having a site which is primarily consisting of content in Traditional Chinese. However, occassionally, we add English words inbetween the paragraphs for education purpose,

My question is how to make the site compatibile to adsense though we are knowing that Traditional Chinese is not a supported language of Adsense for Content?

Currently, my site is published in UTF-8 and the language tag is marked as "en-us". It seems that no ads could be served at all with this settings.

Any hope?

As you know, AdSense for content does not currently support Traditional Chinese. If you are not satisfied with the ads appearing on your site, we recommend removing the AdSense code until we are able to support Traditional Chinese. In the meantime, you can continue to use AdSense for search.

AdSense serves ads that are relevant to the text-based content of a given site, which provides a positive experience for advertisers, users and publishers. If AdSense is placed on a site written in an unsupported language, the ads probably won't be relevant. Therefore, we kindly ask that you do not modify your code to try to alter the natural targeting.

Hi AdSenseAdvisor,
Thank you for your advice. I have no intention to modify any standard adsense codes and I fully aware that attempting such is an act against the TOCs of the service. I am however insterested to know if there is other means to increase ad serving on a site with mixed languages, e.g. adding more English content on my site.

Hi Leunga,

To try to help non-English-speaking users find my (free) images in search engines (ie not just for Google search, and certainly not specifically for AdSense targetting) I add AKAs/synonyms of key words in the images, and some of those synonyms are non-English, eg French or Spanish or Chinese (simplified).

I have noticed that at least the European language synonyms do bring up some well-targetted non-English ads, but the majority remain in English.

It would be interesting to be able to target one language. Because the french word for my domain name cooincidently matches the German word, I get french words served as standard. As 98% of the site is in German and on a .de domain, maybe this could be a pointer to not server french ads. :\ I don't mind English ads, but french isn't that often spoken as English and mostly it's ads for some obscure french medical courses, or inviting some to study medicine in Oxford England in French, lol.

As soon as Mediabot pulls the page I get the right language ads though. :)
