Who Chooses the Advertising on my Blog?

July 31st 2007 23:59

Can someone please explain to me why, despite using keywords and main textual information about Disability Services, a Weekend at Hervey Bay, Wheelchair Dancing and Having fun, I constantly get a complete row of nonsence advertising across my screen for Wiccan Magic Spells, Wiccan Magic, Pagan Rites and Rituals and such like nonsence - which has nothing to do with the contents of my post?

I've noticed that although I never write about Rugby, my posts are frequently headed up with advertising for this sport, also.

Who matches the advertising to my post subject matter and is it something I am doing?

Thanks.

I just had a look at Enviro Warrior and all the ads where environment related so you seem to be doing a good job.

Google uses a range of factors in determining which ads to display on a site including keywords on the page, which ads have been clicked on (or not clicked on) before (by others and that particular reader) and which country you are in.

If you are not seeing environment ads on your site it may be because you have never clicked on any and google thinks you are not interested in them.

Hi Jon,

thanks... perhaps I didn't explain it very well, but I wasn't talking about my Enviro W site, (which is always very well matched) ...but more about my associated orble sites, as they also generate revenue, no?

In this case I was particularly talking about my poetry/journal site "An Extre Ordinary Life* - the ads are often totally non-related and bizarre - as in this case, stated?

Hehehe....Ive noticed some strange ones too Lilla. I dont exactly appreciate duck reciepes coming up on my ducktales posts! There are much funnier examples....Like On Davids the other day, "How I learned to complicate life" a wonderous dark parody of todays success driven society....The ad? 10 steps to success! We all had a good larf!

Regular Orble blogs (on the orble domain) will sometimes have ads which don't suit the content because google is taking notice of which ads other people have clicked on when visiting the Orble domain which contains hundreds of different blogs on different topics.

If the same page is displayed enough times google will crawl it and the ad targeting should get better.

The only way to ensure really good ad targeting is to move your regular blog to a domain blog. You'll get more traffic that way as well.

lilla, even if you had a domain name, a poety/journal site would usually be filled with random keywords, and might still not draw ads that you're interested in...

Hmm...this sort of explains why I see Rugby ads everywhere.
Not that I mind...

If you write consistently for a few weeks you should be offered a domain blog.
