Like many bloggers I have been using Google Adsense to fill some advertising space on this website, specifically the horizontal banner after the first post on the front page, and also on single post pages just before the comments. I’ve got the Google Adsense code running in a three way split with Amazon and Performancing ads.
Though this blog is fairly new I still feel it has enough content for Google’s crawlbots to understand what it is about, which is why I’m disappointed to see ads like this appearing:
Neither of these really have anything to do with this site (though I can sort of understand the ads for cranes, the word “crane” is far from the most widely used keyword on the site… “WordPress” anyone?).
So its time for Google Adsense code to go. I’ll be keeping the Amazon and Performancing ads for now running a simple A/B split. Google ads may make a comeback later on as I’ve had some success on other blogs with them, but on this blog the relevancy is just too far off the mark.
