Adsense sensing question

will adsense ignore comments

[akhater]

Any idea if adsense takes into concideration or ignores the html comments?

[humblebeginnings]

I am not sure, but I suppose Adsense will ignore them. Otherwise publishers would have the opportunity of keyword stuffing and the like.

The spider works much the same way as the main google spider, obeying standard spider rules. So you can bet that comments are ignored (as they are supposed to be).
