Why am I not getting relevant ads?

Hello friends,

I have a photo blog here : http://www.travelosphere.blogspot.com.

I like to show the ads which are related to stock photography. But Adsense is showing up the relevant ads.

Can anybody tell whats wrong with my photo blog.

 

It does show relevant ads to me.

 

Is it !!!??? But when ever I open it, it show links related to blogs!!!

Is there anyway to increase the probability of getting stock photography ads?

 

The content on the top ad box seems to be relevant.

If you just added adsense, it may take a while for ads to become relevant. Also, if you add more text with keywords the ads may be more relevant.

 

I am finding it very difficult to add the keyword rich content for my pictures. Co, all my pictures are taken at some famous tourist spot here. So, when even I mention the name of the tourist place in the content, Adsense showing ads related to Traveling/Hotel/etc... which I dont want to display.

Any suggestion to come over this issue, would be very helpful.

 

ads above pictures are relevant but 1 single ad below isn't

 

Why not try adding more keywords about stock photography? For example, you could say something like "If you can't visit the beautiful waterfalls of Hawaii, try searching for some stock photography so you can enjoy the beauty right from your desktop. High-quality stock photos can be printed so you can hang them and enjoy the pictures year-round."

That was just off the top of my head, so sorry if it's a little choppy, but see what I mean? If you add more keywords related to stock photography, you may get more ads related to stock photography.

 

Nice tip dude.. will implement it..

 

well it shows right ads to me but what i seen is the ads very far to content and one ad is nearer
also i see you created July 7, 2007
if this is then you need to wait

 

You should use more keywords on stock photography.You could write an article on taking stock photographs or describe the photosTry to improve your keyword density to at least 3 to 6 Percent.

 

Yup.. I am planning to add a article about the stock photography in my site.

And I like to mention one change I made to my site. Previously my site title was "Travelosphere". That made lot of travel related ads to be shown up.

I changed it to some stock photos related terms. The result is very good, as I almost getting relevant ads in my photo blog

 

* using section targeting
* using human readable file name
* using image alt tags and title tags

these may help you

 

Thanks for the information friend.

I have implemented all the suggestion shared in this forum in my Photo Blog.

I am summarizing the changes I have made to my blog here, so that it would be useful for newbies like me

1. First suggestion I got about my site was the look and feel. Previously I was having a DARK background, so that my images will stand clear. But, it was difficult for the site navigation. So I changed this and put a light background. Now, the site looks okey to me. (Whats your opinion? )

2. I changed my site title from "Travelosphere" to some stock photography related terms. This one change itself made a big difference. Previously I was getting travel related ads, because of the word 'travel' in the title. Now I am getting almost photo related ads.

3. Title of each post - gave a descriptive title and remove some local terms.

4. Enough content with related keywords - since my site is a photo blog, it was not possible to add content. But, I got a good suggestion that to add a article about stock photography in my site. That increased my keywords percentage and related ads too.

All these changes made a great difference to my blog and now I am getting almost 90% related ads. (Hurrrrahhhh )

But friends, still I am facing a big problem with my site. I dont know whether this thread is a good place to share that?

 

Here is a good tip. Use Google tags in your blog posts to make the ads target the right keywords.

At the start of a block of keyword heavy content put

<!-- google_ad_section_start -->

Code (markup):

At the end of the text put

<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

Code (markup):

Hope this helps
