Same ads on all pages

[knights1]

My site has the same ads on all pages. There are about 70 advertisers for my main keywords and the same ones always show up/ anyone have nay idea how to find out if there are other keywords to target to get different ads so my visitors don't see the same ads all the time?

Man, I have been in,… and still in at times that same boat. I have looked at all the factors that I can see and have yet to find an answer. There are so many variables that it is very difficult to pin it down to any one thing, except for the fact that it seems unpredictable.

I have looked at all text, phrases, file names of pics and vids that are linked to the page, just about anything that I thought might steer it into one common theme…. Beats me!

Only other possibility I can think of, is the time between changes I make and the time its actually taken into consideration for the ad changes. Maybe I haven’t been patient enough. You are not alone.

Then I figured that whatever, I cant waist too much time on trying to analyze everything, when I could be creating links, content, serps etc.etc.

I have the same advertisers too - but it doesn't seem to hurt. In fact, most of the time these guys at the top are the top RPM guys. If my site has a every day repeat visitors, I would think otherwise. If your site isn't something that people need to visit more than once a month (like mine), don't worry about it.

Hi Knights1,

Google's new 'section targetting' sounds like it may be of assistance to you. From what I can gather, you can basically 'ask' Adsense to target specific areas of your pages in order to focus on particular phrases/keywords. Perhaps this will help to mix up the ads served as well.

Having booted out ebay, scrapers and made for adsense sites I too see the same advertisers most of the time. I would suggest that is because they are the best payers.

The new targetting assistance tool might help display different advertisers on different pages, but ultimately it's probably better to have the high payers on all pages than the lower payers there simply because they are a change. If the lower payers want to be displayed more often, they have to up their bid price :)

It will be interesting to see if this really lets the publisher change the targeting of a page. I'm going to try it on selected pages and see what happens.

Do you have a hobby site? I have a site that shows the same ads too. This concerned me at first, and I was trying everything to fix it. Then I came to these conclusions.

1. That during the day when advertisers turn on their ads, they will be the same across the site. As the day progresses, and visitors click, the top advertisers run out of budget, and the ads get replaced by other advertisers.

So in the evening, you may have totally different ads and advertisers. Some top advertisers even turn off "content" at night.

You have 70 advertisers for your site's keywords? Then 65 of them are probably the "bottom of the barrel" clicks. So it's better to let the top five run out of money first.

2. Since my visitors land on pages inside of my website, they will see the ads on that page first. The ads on the rest of the site, if they continue to browse, the chances are they will ignore the ads anyway.

3. Also you didn't say how old your site is. Maybe you are running default ads till the mediabot shows up. Once the mediabot shows up, don't change your ad format, or you'll be running defaults again.

4. When Adwords changed their system recently, I released all the advertisers I had blocked for that site. Earnings tripled for the site.
