How To: Get Relevant Google Ads With A Small Code

Yesterday I wrote a post by name Top 3 Free Keyword Suggestion Tools You Should Be Using. The content had the word “keyword suggestion tool” and other related words plenty number of times. I used those words to get Ads relevant to that word so that more visitors from search engine will exit my blog through those ads. But unfortunate the Ads that were displayed in the post had no relevance.

Google AdSense

My friend Benedict of TechCorner was happy to help me. I added few codes and the ads that were displayed in that post had high relevance. Today I saw my AdSense earnings two times more. The relevancy of ads is very important if you want to earn a better income from AdSense.

Here’s what you can do to get more relevant Ads. First backup your blog and take all safety measures before doing any changes. Now, go to sidebar.php file and enter the following code:

<!– google_ad_section_start(weight=ignore) –>

your existing code in the .php file

<!– google_ad_section_end –>

This will ignore the words in the Sidebar and will get you ads based on your content. Here’s an easy way to do section targeting. Your codes should look like this:(according to Google)

<html><head><title>Section targeting</title></head>

<body>
<!– google_ad_section_start –>

This is the text of your webpage. Most of your content resides here.

<!– google_ad_section_end –>
</body>
</html>

Though this is old news to few bloggers, there are still many who don’t(Till yesterday I didn’t know). You can also use the Google’s AdSense Help Center Solution. If you have not applied for AdSense, then I recommend you to Apply now. It is one of the best money makers for bloggers.
