AdSense Trick: Unrelated Ads by Purpose

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.

Screenshot taken from a funny pic/video blog. The paragraph is a advertising text for web hosting service, with a referral link. Web hosting is high paying keyword.

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.

We are discussing the mistake here, NOT to attack anyone. Any link to the example website/blog will be removed.

In case you found blog/website that make the mistake, please point him/her to current article or AdSense program policy.

i have not linked to any of the blogs i talked about, nor did i attack anyone or point at him, i don't understand why you entered this "defensive stance" instantly.

I'm sure Adsense will realize sooner or later.

it's normal..sometime publisher are not perfect to monitor all his/her adsense at every pages..if you have 500+ sites..imagine huh..we can learn from the mistakes..but don't take it too seriously..

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.
