Adsense in wordpress

Sup all. Hope somone knows why this is. THis has happened to me on a few wordpress sites. On the home page the adsense ads always display stuff for wordpress. all bog related even though nothing on there talks about wordpress. Ive change the footer info and the title. When i go to another page it displays the ads relative to the context. Any ideas? Thanks

 

give us a link. Which sites are doing this?

 

What you can try is to use the filter in adsense and block out those type of ads, maybe relevant ads will appear after.

 

What's your URL ? I do have a personal blog and I did talk about web hosting and I do have ads related to Web hosting from Adsense.

You might want to install the Google Adsense Preview Tool

This should give you a clue what ads others would see.

 

The reason that you are getting blog-related ads is because of what the Google bot sees when it crawls your page. Look at your HTML source and you'll know what I mean. Wordpress generates a lot of blogging related terms in the HTML source near the top.

Try targeting your content better. Here's how:
1. Look at your theme's "post.php" file.
2. Scroll down to where it says

< ?php the_content(); ? >

Code (markup):

.
3. Add this before it:

<!-- google_ad_section_start -->

Code (markup):

4. And add this after it:

<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

Code (markup):

Its weird i cant to find that line in my template. Its only the home page the rest of the pages are all content related.
Im using the semi static front plugin too so i created a page as home and that is my home page. Im not using it for the blog feature more of CMS. Still dont get it.

 

@emilbus20: try also looking at the "index.php" file. And if the code isn't there, look at the default template files in "wp-content/themes/default".

 

Im getting closer. If i navigate to teh index.php which is the same info i get the target ads,. Weird!!

 

Still no luck! Seems like this is a common problem from my searches. Dunno, makes no sense t me!!

 

Try putting your adsense on your side bar then give it a day and check again. Did you try using the Google Adsense Preview Tool ? The thing is that maybe your country does not have relevant advertisers and you only see those about blog and stuff but other countries may see different ads. The preview tool will give you a good indication of that.

What is your blog about ?

 

Nah its def some bug. this happened to me on another site as well. Ive searched and see others have the same prob. Real weird. All the other pages have relevant ads. Makes no sense to may.Like i said if i direct it to inde.php i get the relevant ads but the home page just shows wordpress and blog ads. very strange, I wold love to figure this out!!

 

@emilbus20: another problem could be that while your single post pages have highly distinct topics but your index page may be showing posts of different topics which makes it hard for the Googlebot to decide what ads to put.

Personally, I've long removed mine from my index and place them exclusively on my single post pages.

 

nice info thanks

 

Well i put some of the wordpress ads in my flter. Im starting to get relevant ads here and there on the home page, but still get the blog related ads. Im gonna give it a few days. there has to be a definitive answer why out there. I have searched and there is a good amount of people with the same problem. Thanks so far.

 

If you've just recently added the Adsense ads in, it will take some time

 

I was exeriencing the same issue, relevent ads in the posts but only wordpress ads on the homepage. I couldn't find a solution so I just continued to post and eventualy they came around. I now receive relevent ads on the homepage and haven't seen an ad about wordpress for a while. Hopefully you will find similar results. how long has your site been up? If it hasn't been too long I suggest giving it some time.

 

this is because the meta on wordpress home page is : blog,wordpress
change that.
and also see if you changed your blog description on options page.

if thta don't work.
open your header.php file from the template you are using and change the meta tag.
Other way is to use dynamic meta plug-in for wordpress. I use this for my http://indart.org and i have no problems with that
