    hey guys,

    i'm new to the adsense game and could use some help. i have a wedding directory site i'm setting up and i can't get the ads to match the content. they sort of match in a very broad way.

    http://www.napavalleyweddingguide.com/guide/Napa_Valley_Bed_&_Breakfast/Napa_Valley_Bed_&_Breakfast.htm

    look at the ads i get in the adsense sandbox

    http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/adsense-sandbox/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.napavalleyweddingguide.com%2Fguide%2FNapa_Valley_Bed_%26_Breakfast%2FNapa_Valley_Bed_%26_Breakfast.htm


    this page returns some ads that are close but not what i'm looking for. if you do a search on google for 'napa valley bed and breakfast' you get ads from napa valley bed and breakfast.

    http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=napa+valley+bed+and+breakfast&btnG=Google+Search

    the directory is dynamically generated. could this be part of the problem?

    Thanks,

    Kevin

    I looked at the site and your links above and ran a few tests:

    the page is missing keywords and description.

    directory, napa valley, bed, napa is 3.9& of total words. I'd add more "B&B" in the content based on the ads I saw, as well as "breakfast" in the content to target the ad's that are in g's search results.

    i can't add keywords or descriptions with the directory template i'm using now. but i'll give it a whirl adding more b&b's. the term napa valley bed and breakfast is on the page 9 times or more. you think i need more than that?
