Will AdSense recognize page params as different content page?

I need some technical help with AdSense...

Hello guys.

Let's say I have a web page -

www.domain.com

and I use params thus, to create different pages -

www.domain.com/?x=cats will get my to a page about cats
www.domain.com/?x=dogs will get me to a page about dogs

Will adsense recognize that I have two pages and I will get matching ads?

Thanks!

Adsense Ad serving are page-content dependent and not on the page title etc.

Yeah I know that, but my PHP software will result in two DIFFERENT pages for these two requests -

www.domain.com/?x=cats will get my to a page about cats
www.domain.com/?x=dogs will get me to a page about dogs

So will that be okay with Google? Will they see this as 2 pages or just one and get confused over the content?

Thanks,

Ron.

Yes that should be fine.

Thanks. I'm trying it out, and see weird ads, but maybe it just takes time to adjust... ;-)

Don't worry, they will settle down after the adsense bot has seen the page a couple of times, as long as there's content to match up etc.

You should really use some url rewriting (with Apache you would edit .htaccess) to make your urls more friendly. This is important for indexing purposes as well.

Metero:

If you're concerned too much, you should use some url rewrite tool.
Adsense does really bad with pages with parameters. I once have it that way and was always getting weird or too generic ads. Once I changed it to fixed pages, I got super-targeted ads and better CPM.

Guys,

Thanks. Yeah, I decided that I better use URL-Rewrites, I agree it will be worth the effort.
