Your ideal Adsense?

if you could get it in the future...

Just wondered what Adsense might be like going forward - not stats reporting, but more on the options available.

Been walking around the local clothes shop - you have to navigate around all sorts to get to the socks and just happened to walk past some shirts that I had forgotton I needed, so bought some.

Without causing irritation to visitors for our site, I'd certainly like the ability to put Adsense code for small adverts into different areas of our pages because they carry different and varying (day to day) subject matter as you go down the page. Bit like wrap around text around images.

But only if the targeting was accurate. This would need individually targeted Adsense ads, depending on local content in eg. table /div cells. Could cells or divs carry special code to tell Adsense only to target that cell's content?

In most people's interests I guess, except perhaps very high volume sites making a small %, but big $ out of masses of impressions.

Hmmm... I think the point about AdSense is that you, as the publisher, only have a very limited means to control what adverts are actually displayed. Any more control and this time next month AdSense wouldn't exist anymore. It would have been spammed into oblivion.

Do you mean sites about pets suddenly dropping web design references into boxes, to get the high bid ads? Only I was thinking within site theme. We've got a bit of a problem the other way with spammy adverts as a result of varying page content (within the theme). On the relatively static pages there isn't a problem. Perhaps we should be running cached html pages from the dynamic ones?

- Blocking ads by keywords. My site is about PHP. I would like to tell AdSense to show +php -asp -java -.net -python -perl and it would only show that had the php keyword on the link text or description or would not have the keyword asp java .net python perl .

- Ads in my site newsletters would be wonderful. I have seen them already working in newsletters of an AdSense premium site. So, I suppose it is a matter of time until they provide it to non-premium publisher sites.

- There is no need to tell that we would like to have better reporting, namely of all ads that have been displayed in our sites and be able to block any of them easily like Tribalfusion provides.
