Adsense triggering wrong ads due to numbers

Hello, as you can see i am new here however i'm not REAL new to the adsense scene.

I run a fairly large news website that posts up news article headlines & date/time stamps them. Without the date & time stamping users wouldn't really know when the articles are posted and i'm pretty sure it keeps users coming back as they have little question on the updated content.

However i'm having an issue

Connectors (network) , Fuses (auto), Watches (citizen etc..) - All of which from what i can tell are triggering from the stamping -due to apparent model # matching?

These are several things that randomly take over my adsense ads without much predictability. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesnt. With adsense's competitive filter i've added more and more websites however i fear i might be reaching the (unreasonable) 200 URL limit sometime soon.

To be said to google: At no point in time will anything on my site WANT to trigger an ad based on a number. It's a *news website*

That said, i sent an e-mail to the adsense team but i'm not expecting much more then the average blow off. Is it unreasonable for them to ad an account option that says [x] Do not trigger ads based on numbers in content? - Personally i don't think so. Is it possible to get more then the 200 URL limit out of them?

I'm not exactly sure what i'm going to do about this, stripping the stamping could be severely damaging for the users to the site. No one wants to read news articles that have no date/time.

Ideas, comments, suggestions appreciated.

 

thats certainly a problem.....

 

Surround your timestamps with "<!-- google_ad_section_start(weight=ignore) -->". This will ensure that the numbers are not used by G mediabot

thanks for the response i have a question about the code

(this actually has to reside on a one line per basis so its going to bloat up the pages a bit (not too big of a deal i guess))

should it be looking like this then ?

<!-- google_ad_section_start(weight=ignore) --> time-stamp <!-- google_ad_section_end --> News Article Headline


----
or is <!-- google_ad_section_end --> even the proper ending tag for this?
----

or maybe i should be doing

time-stamp <!-- google_ad_section_start --> News Article Headline <!-- google_ad_section_end -->

? - thanks again

 

it is this:

<!-- google_ad_section_start(weight=ignore) --> time-stamp <!-- google_ad_section_end(weight=ignore) --> News Article Headline

Yes, each of the timestamps has to be surrounded by the code separately

 

well, in all honesty that amount of text to be added on every line is just too much, i think i'm going to have to rip the time stamping all together. thanks for the help/suggestion it is appreciated, something i will keep in mind.
