one page - two topics - dual targeting?

anyone ever get AS to do this?

I'm considering a new content section and a funny little problem has come up which makes me wonder if there is anyone who has successfully solved it.

Here's the hypothetical situation: a page of content is focused on topic A1. As part of the content, it would make sense to include a subsection, which is on topic A2.

The two topics are very intertwined, so it makes perfect sense for my readers to find the main topic and the subtopic on the same page. However, the advertising market for each topic is different.

Is there any way to force AS --using section targeting, I suppose- -to serve up ads from two different market segments on the same page? I can guess how I'd try it, but I'm thinking AS will probably get very confused.

By the way, topic A is a very well paying market, and no trial/error scheme that jeopardizes the return from topic A would be worth the effort, unless it could succeed without diluting both topics.

Thanks to the board in advance.

I don't think the AdSense engine will become confused by it, although you might not get the result you wanted.

I think you can accomplish the "dual targeting" by simply breaking your topic into two pages. However it seems like you want the page to use a layout that has a logical flow or continuity for the reader. Breaking it into two pages definitely does not achieve that goal.

This thread highlights a dilemma we all face while monetizing our sites with advertising. We know there are things we can do that might draw more revenue, but everyone has their limit on how far they will go.

In theory, and if there was sufficient content in each section of the page, you could do this via iframes.

This really doesn't seem like the correct solution, though. Having a separate page about a separate topic seems more logical, not to mention preferable from an SEO perspective.

I've seen pages that get two distinct topics in one 4-ad ad block, one of which targets the page content, and the other more generally the content of the site.

Put the page up as is and see what happens. You might be surprised.
