Well, following with my recent posts on Joel Comms new book - I just want to congratulate Google engineers on the ad relevance technology that they have created. I recently switched my blog from another publisher to the Google Adsense program, and at first I thought the ad relevance was a little off colour, but today I have had a cursory look around the site and been pleasantly surprised by what I’ve seen so far. My gadget category has beautiful little ads on gadgets.

It’s really drilling down well into the blog posts to get relevant ads. I probably shouldn’t draw to much attention to it, but for anyone else serving adsense ads, they might find it interesting. I haven’t done any special modifications to my code, nor do I use section targeting ( a way of marking off sections of the site so adsense bots knows where the contextual extaction zone is)

From looking at it, I believe the bots are pulling info from my titles and categories. I also have a special wordpress plugin that puts in keyword and description meta tags for each post, so maybe that helps.

Any way - Joel comms book is cool, so check out my other posts and follow the links to his site for more info.
