    Hi guys
    Another question here.

    I noticed that on my blog; the ads that show up for if i view by catagory are much more relevant than the ads that show up when I view each individual post. I know this might be kinda confusing so I have some links here

    Catagory: http://jatshergill.com/blog/category/apple

    Post: http://jatshergill.com/blog/2006/04/07/cool-uses-for-a-mac-mini/

    (I apologize, but I can't post links yet.. too much of a newbie :()

    Any tips on this question? Is it just a matter of not enough content for adsense to pick up?

    I think you just need to give it more time. It will correct itself.

    It's true. For some reason, Google gives higher weight to category listings in blogs. When you view Google SERPs, the first listing is for your category listing, and the individual posts show up underneath that. Knowing this, it is VERY important to properl label your category listings (i.e. stuff it with keywords).

    What is 'SERPs'?

    The problem is that I have a couple of posts that are really popular on google search (#2, #3 in listing) and I am getting a lot of hits on those. But the problem is that the ads that are showing up on the 'post' page are not that great. Now If I go to the category that the post belongs to; it shows some good ads.

    Does the fact that I am getting 'good ads' on category mean that the site is indexed by the google ad bots?

    SERPs = Search Engine Results Pages

    I also have the same problem, Adsense only displays on my Blogger homepage pages not on individual pages. Any idea guys?
