Default Adsense Problem

Hi. I've got adsense ads in my blog. Currently, I've got the adsense code inserted into single.php, so that I the ads are seen when someone is looking at my post through a permalink, and in the main index.php, so that users see ads when they are just looking at my blog page (with the three seperate blog entries on display.).

My problem is that the ads don't really apply to the post unless it's a singlepost (permalink)view. Take a look at this difference Singlepost
and blog front page

The singlepost ad applies. The blog front page ad doesn't. It seems to apply to one farther down the page. Can anyone tell me how to fix this so they apply more directly to the content of the ad when the reader is viewing the blog's front page?

Thanks for your time.

You don't really have much control over the ads google presents. It will change the ads based on the success of different ads, so you will see changes over time.

the ads I saw on the Page view weren't totally irrelevant, though. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

They looked quite relevant to me. Often it takes a bit of time for them to settle in.

Remember also that the ads are served from information gathered in a crawl of the site.

Therefore, a single post will be more focused since every time the crawler comes the post is the same.

However, on a front page, the post changes.

So, your front page is a perfect example of this. You have 3 posts, the oldest post on this page is on diets, the crawler came through and picked up the data and served relevant ads. Since that crawling, you have written 2 more posts on other topics, but the ads are still on diets.

The last time your site was indexed was May 5th, and the top post that day was the 3rd post on your front page.

The trick is to get the site indexing faster.

Adpinion

Lets you allow visitors to target ads for you.

I saw this site, and thought to post it here for web publishers.

Sorry if this is off topic.

Default Section targeting

I don't know if this will help in your blog but there is a way to tell adsense which content it should target. You can read about it here:
