Too Many Ad_section_starts and ends

Is it possible to have too many tips for the google bot?

[oce222]

I have divided up my website with many different
<!-- google_ad_section_start -->
and
<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

tags and I have also placed
<!-- google_ad_section_start(weight=ignore) -->

tags as well.

I just did this today so I don't know the results yet, but basically I am just trying to tell google to look at the text in each of my blog entries, not any of the statistics I provide at the beginning of each blog entry, or my navigation bars, or any of the extra stuff on the side or bottom of my site.

Is this a good idea or a bad idea?

Probably better to just put the <!-- google_ad_section_start(weight=ignore) --> around the irrelevant sections. No stats to back it up- just my opinion.

I have the same problem. My page is divided into many many

<!-- ad section start -->-thingys.

For me, the section targeting never seemed to really work as the stupid algo always only puts those ads it likes anyway and not those that would match my pages content.

IMO, the algo is trying too hard to find good performing ads. It should stop trying to optimize, the constant ad rotation (often from well-targeted, well performing ads to badly targeted ads) only hurts me.

I used two "look at this" and two "don't look at this" on my home page to help targeting for an AdLinks block, and it seemed to work. I can't say if more would, though.
