AdSense Trick: Unrelated Ads by Purpose

Filed in: Adsense Tips, Make Money Online — July 19th, 2006

Recently, I came across a few pictures and video blogs, which are using some unrelated text to get high paying AdSense ads.

We know that pictures and video blogs have less text content(one or two sentences) and the related AdSense ads do not pay well. If you put a paragraph with high paying keywords, the AdSense ads will change to the display high paying related keywords.

Great, huh? No, it is bad.

Why is it bad?

Refer to AdSense Program Policies, to find there is a clause under “Site Content” that says your site may not include:

Excessive, repetitive, or irrelevant keywords in the content or code of web pages

Also, under “Webmaster Guidelines”

Do not load pages with irrelevant or excessive key words.

So, we know that Google AdSense dislike web pages with unrelated keywords. Do not do it.

    this is not about the adsense monitoring. this is about irrelevant keywords in the content or code of web pages.

    this trick looks cool but most users are not going to click on ads like that. Low ctr. Adsense is not that strict either i guess since this has been around for quite some time.

    If it is illegal then why there’s no action taken by the Adsense Team. I’ve seen that (the trick) for a very long time already.
