Change the content of my ads (Wordpress)

I've got a problem with the ads on my wordpress site. Adsense is picking up on the word "tags" (see left of all the posts) and is displaying HTML tag ads.

Since I don't want these ads, how can I tell Adsense which parts of the page it should retrieve its keywords from? I know there is an adsense comment you can insert, but I don't remember it.

 

I have a similar problem. Mine is constantly displaying 'blogs' ads.

 

In your theme folder, edit post.php:
Find < ?php the_content(); ? > and add this before it:
< !-- google_ad_section_start -- >
And this after it:
< !-- google_ad_section_end -- >

So it's sandwiched. This should section-target your ads better.

(remove the extra spaces before the tags shown above)

 

thank you can you also do that in blogger

 

@Kitarist: should be able to do the same thing. The principle is the same - surround the content part with the GoogleAd section targeting tags.

 

In my experience, section targeting sometimes works, and sometimes not. It's not a guaranteed fix -- Google says so. Therefore, I suggest doing it but not depending on totally. Look for other possible solutions. Is the word "tags" used in your page title or description, is it in your title tag, is it used in your content, are there links with "tags" in the anchor text? These are places Google looks to determine what ads to display.

Is you site brand new? It takes a few days sometimes for Google to index and display relevant ads on a new site.
