Improving Google Adsense Relevance On Your Site

The main way that google offers to increase ad relevence to your site (assuming that you are comfortable with editing your own HTML code) is by putting in markers to highlight more important parts of your site's content.

Google do suggest however that this method should be used sparingly and don't place all your hopes on it offering vast improvements immediately, because it probably won't! In fact the adsense team do say that if you use this method, do not expect to see any changes for around two weeks after you implement the update to your code.

So, here it is. Place the following tags either side of the content that you want to have more attention paid to it by the adsense ad server when it looks at your page.

<!--google_ad_section_start-->

The content you want to give more emphasis to goes here.

<!--google_ad_section_end-->

If you wish to get the adsense ad engine to ignore a section of your site rather than pay more attention to it, simply replace the opening tag shown above with this one:

<!--google_ad_section_start(weight=ignore)-->

Then close it in the same way as shown above at the end of the section you wish to be ignored.

There is no limit to the number of times you can use this method on each page of your site, but for best results, bear in mind that the more content contained within the tags, the better it will work (i.e. don't just tag every keyword individually as that will be a huge waste of your time!).
