I filled mine in and most of mine were satisfactory, the only problem I have is damn ads that arent related whatsoever showing up that no one would ever click.
I had this problem until I employed AdSense Section Targeting. Since then, I've had nothing but 100% relevant ads, 99% of the time. Earnings increased as well. https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=23168 Also, I haven't read this article but it just came up in a Google search, so it might be helpful: How To Get Adsense Showing Relevant High Paying Ads
I'm about to remove it completely the CTR has tanked across all my sites to .12% yea thats like 30 clicks out of 27,000 impressions since my last payout. :garbage:
Another Adsense Reference There's also a great book that I just finished called "The Adsense Code" by Joel Comm. It was written in 2006 so a few things have changed, but the strategies that he lays out in the book are tested with some pretty good results. Also, it's a pretty easy read (but full of typos). Best, RR
There is also Joel Comm's free "AdSense Secrets" book: http://www.adminaddict.net/forum/monetization-traffic/adsense-secrets-235-page-ebook-free-2127/
Touché! Free is always good. Thanks for the tip. The book is not free. The back says $24.95, but I know I didn't pay that much for it.
That's what I woulda told 'em too. Was quite happy with them until they banned my account for an undisclosed reason. Considering I'd had it running for 3-5 years with no problems, and I do keep an eye on things, it was uncalled for, but hey, it's google, they own the internet and can do whatever they want.
