Experimental Feature: List View Matched Content

from Adsense Labs

[anefarious1]

I got an email about List View Matched Content so I tried it out. I'm not really familiar with the matched content features Adsense has been pushing so I don't know how List View differs from the regular matched content.. Their description is, "a list of recommended content for your visitors to explore as they reach the end of a page."

Anywa, the problem is the images pulled and placed beside my recommended content do not match the correct corresponding photo. Does anyone know how this can be fixed? Another problem is that the matched content appears below the website's footer. That doesn't make sense. The footer should be at the bottom. Anyone know how to fix that? Thanks

I tried it yesterday. Same results - matched content appeared below footer and only on mobile. If they made it so it appeared above the footer and on desktop as well as mobile I would definitely use it in place of the "older" matched content code.

Amazing that Google, worth hundreds of billion of dollars, cannot figure out how to create an alternative to RevContent, Content.Ad, Taboola‎ ie. native ads or similar related posts widgets using basic WP plugins.

I tried and tested it out thoroughly. Actually, you guys have got it wrong. Just like Matched Content, its purpose is not to give you money by click directly. Its goal is to increase user engagement on your mobile which may lead to increased earning. If you have got page ad code placed on your site, then you will not have to add any other code. The complete guide on how to implement and my results is on my blog.

I don't know if this is available for everybody, but you can monetize Adsense's matched content. When you create/edit one, you have an options to include ads in the middle of your own content. (but they don't show often)

That's fine if it increases user engagement. I'm okay with it not making money but I would like it to work correctly. It does not actually work, see original post.
