What can I do with this? Ads targeted wrong...

Hi all-

Gosh I really must be too tired to be at the computer. I could not find my own post even after searching using my username so I posted a new another thread. Duh! YOu can view it here

Sorry! I wont make any more new threads for a few days.

I am late to the party and just started using Wordpress as a cms for my new site. I have been doing everything in frontpage (yuck) with static pages. However updating and adding content is to slow. So for my new site I have switched to Wordpress. I am excited abou tthe switch.

However I set up the site last night. Before adding any posts etc I had the site up and running nad added the adsense code. I also added a template and my four little images above the adsense code. You can view the site at

www.planbestwedding.com

All is cool and working well, except you will notice the ads on my main page are all blogging types of adds. Yet the websites main topic is about weddings. I am guessing the when I put up the ads on the page and tweaked the template a little that the adsense spider or bot came to the site and found keywords related to blogging and so that was the ads it is targeting. Even though I ahve added a few pages to the blog for wedding topics it is still showing the blog ads on the main page. The subpages seem to be correctly targeted but that main page is still a problem.

What can I do to get this to target to the wedding type adds that would be more appropriate? I know next time if I start a new site to add a few posts before adding adsense code. Anything I can do for now with this site or is it easier to delete the site and start over?

 

use section targeting. insert the section targeting comment code before and after the post. obviously, the best way to do this would be in your templates.

you can read more about it here.
also, you may want to use channels to track which ad is getting more clicks.

 

I think it is a question of time. Since your site is new takes a little longer to Google crawls it. Get some links to your site (that one in this forum should be enough). Wait until Google cache it. After that you will start getting targeted ads.

 

Will the link in this thread count? I thought Google didn't index pages with a '?' in the URL?

Google indexes pages requested with question mark (using get method parameters) well. But I think it takes a bit more to be get indexed.
