If you are running a blog with adsense you may have been plagued by the issue of the "blog" ads ie. all your posts regardless of their content display ads for blogs, bloggers, blog hosting etc.
One simple way of stopping that is to remove all reference to the terms in your blog templates. The change may not have an immediate impact, but it will over time

About this Entry
This page contains a single entry by Michele Neylon published on May 1, 2006 7:56 PM.
Text Link Ads - Prompt Payments was the previous entry in this blog.
Search.ie - Direct Links is the next entry in this blog.
Find recent content on the main index or look in the archives to find all content.
A simpler and certainly less awkward way, which I mentioned here , is just to use the google_ad_section_start et al. tags around the content bits of your blog. It seems to work well enough.
Rob - I tried that at one point as well, but even without it I found that removing as many references to the keywords I mentioned also worked well
Great tip, thanks. Sick to death of those generic blog ads.
I try not to use any words related to blogging or blogs on my posts which seems to work, well sometimes.
I'll look at your tip more and see how it goes.
Cheers.
Let us know hwo you get on :)
