Are You Doing Section Targeting?

I Like To Do It In My Slippers!

[Lex_Luther]

Anyone doing this:

<!-- google_ad_section_start -->

<!-- google_ad_section_end -->"

I did mine like this, but im not sure how correct it is.

<meta name="keywords" content="target,optimize,google,adsense,<!-- google_ad_section_start --> Keyword blah blah keyword blah keyword <!-- google_ad_section_end -->"

What do ya all think?

You will have to try it.

If I remember correctly, Google reccomend you have a fair bulk of content within these tags, or you may get PSA's.

that isn't how it's made to be used.. and u should only use them if you aren't getting relevant ads..

say you have a nav you want to ignore, you'll do something like this:

<!-- google_ad_section_start -->
<b>Site Navigation</b>
- Books
- Reviews
- Gallery
- Contacts
- About us
<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

webnoob, you have it a bit backwards.

For content you want to emphasize, use:

<!-- google_ad_section_start -->

<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

For content you want to de-emphasize:

<!-- google_ad_section_start(weight=ignore) -->

<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

I use it from the first day it was created, and it works great. Has improved relevancy greatly.

[webnoob]

oops, sorry i thought Lex was using the weight=ignore syntax.. must of went blind for a second.

So, you guys think i'm doin it right? I wasn't sure about the: "<meta name="keywords" content="target,optimize,google,adsense" part.

[webnoob]

well, it's designed to emphasize content. plus the bot doesn't pay much attention to meta tags, if at all.

I ran across a blog post a few weeks ago (can't find it now) that addressed where to put the section-targeting code. The blogger had been advised by Google to put the code only between the body tags, on the grounds that that is where the AdSense-relevant content would be (should be) found. Google didn't explicitly say that content in the head section would be ignored by the Mediabot, though one could make that inference.
