AdSense Tips: Increase Your Adsense Income by Targeting Your Keywords
One of the ways you can increase your income from Google AdSense is by having well targeted ads that are relevant to your content displayed on your pages.
Google take care of this by using their search and page ranking technologies to deliver targeted ads. However, in certain situation you may want certain ads to appear which are related to one of you posts but not the overall page content.
If your page content is written mainly in a language beside English, you’ll usually end up getting PSA (Public Service Ads) displayed which you won’t get paid for.
Google uses several factors to target ads on a website and they go beyond simple keyword matching to understand the context and content of web pages.
In improve your ads relevancy, you can do the followings:
- Put important keywords in the title
This is by far one of the most important and easiest things you can do to target your ads - Put keyword in the URL
Google can guess what your page is all about by checking your URL. So put keywords some where in your URL by separating them using hyphens instead of using underscore. - Put keyword in a heading
This should include,
tags.
- Put keyword in the first paragraph of your post
- Make you keyword bolded.
You know, like this. - Sprinkle your keyword all over your post.
The word frequency can tell AdSense what your page is all about but do not go overboard with this. - Use larger font for your keyword
You can also use large font for your important keywords. Perhaps, include keywords in your navigation links with font size larger than that of the page content. - Put keyword in your anchor text
This can be an effective way to target pages content.
The above tips should work well for most people but what if you have non-English content?
In such case, my suggestion is to add several paragraph written in English and use section targeting to target your ads. However, don’t expect Google to display targeted Adsense right away.
My experience from managing several of my websites with their content written mostly in Malay shows that section targeting start working after Googlebot has crawled my pages or Mediabot (crawler that Google uses to crawl those pages running Adsense) crawl results are added into Google natural search index.
According to Google, it may take up to 2 weeks before Google crawlers take into account any changes you’ve made to your site. That’s true from my own experience.
Section targeting allows you to emphasize or de-emphasize certain sections of your page. For example, you may want to emphasize the first paragraph of your article or ignore your menu bar. With section targeting , you can help Adsense determine what parts of your content are important so that your site can show more targeted ads.
You’ll have to make sure that the section you want to target contains a significant amount of text, a large enough percentage of your overall content. To start targeting just enclose the text with
—————————————
< !- - google_adsection_start - ->
your content ads tageting here ( remove spaces )
< !- - google_adsection_end - ->
You can also designate sections you’d like to have ignored by adding a (weight=ignore) to the starting tag:
< ! -- google_ad_section_start(weight=ignore) — >—————————————–
That said, you should be aware that section targeting can’t guarantee results and that it is against Google’s program policies to manipulate the ad targeting to result in ads that are not relevant to the content of your pages. While a few of my pages works well with section targeting and has contributed to the increase in my AdSense income, other pages remain unaffected and continue to show ads which are not related to the targeted section.Anyway, when applying these tips, more often than not, I’ve seen more relevant AdSense ads starting to appear on my pages.
