2000+ view, still irrelevant ads

    Hello,
    I run over 15 gaming and entertainment sites and usually adsense picks up the content of the sites in a second and displays very relevant ads almost immediately. This one is different though on http://gameseye.com, even though the site is only 5 days old, yet with 2000+ views a day I would expect the ads to already be relevant.

    Can you see something I am missing?

    Any help greatly appreciated

    Regards

    Could be that Adsense discounts the keyword "game" because there's so many of it on the front page.

    "Here are some more links to cool flash game around the web:"

    Careful, labeling your ads as such is against the Google TOS.

    I am not encouraging users to click the links though. Also the links are game sites.

    Just to make sure I will drop a note to Google to review the placement.

    Thanks for bringing that to my attention

    You're not encouraging, but you're misleading the visitor to click. Deceit, I believe, is still against the TOS.

    As to a game site having the word "game" in it /shrug. Too much keyword density? Happens.

    Alrighty, I removed all the text above the ads, wouldn't want such little thing make google unhappy =]

    I will try to turn down keyword "game" density and see what happens

    Thanks for the advice

    It took more than a week for one of my sites to get relevant ads. Give it a few more days

    maybe this can help you.
    put this above your content:

    <!-- google_ad_section_start -->

    en this below:

    <!-- google_ad_section_end -->

    and also give the crawlers some time :).

    Add some more text about the games or call them computer games, PC game, or games for windows. If you can get some computer manufacturer ads showing up they pay good :D Maybe say how great your games are and how well they work on gaming computers. The point being you need more text for AdSense to give you better ads. Put your menu on the right skyscraper on the left. ;)

    Bolding my keywords seemed to have worked for my site, although I would make sure not to have the same bold keywords appear too often.
