Why Your Ads Aren't Relevant

Now I’ll fulfill my promise. I’ll tell you why your ads aren’t relevant.

Is it a problem? It’s just ads after all. Why bother?

Big mistake! When I first do the AdSense, my problem is: I updated my blog, my traffic is fine, but no one clicks my ads (at that time all of my ads have no image). Why? Then I realized, it would be even strange if my visitors click the ads. Because the ads are about crimes, cases, investigations, etc. Why? On that time I was talking about Death Note. There are so many words that related to crimes, cases, investigation, detective, etc. As I told you before, AdSense Crawler will try to find the relation between those words. There is no way anime fans would click those FBI and CIA ads^^

But that’s not the only reason why your ads aren’t relevant. There are some reason why your ads aren’t relevant:

-The crawler hasn’t crawled your site. It needs around 2 days before you can see the result. So be patient.

-The crawler cannot reach your website. But don’t worry, if this happens, you would receive an error report, and they will tell you what you should do.

-The website’s behind a login. If you want to access a website behind a login, you should enter a username and the password. The crawler doesn’t have those, and that makes the crawler unable to reach you site.

-Illegal content! (But sometimes there are porn sites with relevant ads because it’s not in English hahaha) After all, illegal content could mean you will be banned.

-The AdSense code was placed within an IFRAME. The crawler is not optimized to serve ads within a separate IFRAME. For better results, implement the ad code directly into the source of your webpage.

- Last reason, my problem, your site may have not enough content (if the content are all mp3 or image, the crawler can’t read those file!) or unfocused content (or disambiguated content). So, how did I solve my problem? With “section targeting feature”, which I’ll explain tomorrow^^.
