No, it’s not against adsense TOS, the code comes from google.

Thanks for instructions on where to put the code.

It took a while to find this info on Google section targeting to mark the relevant content sections of our page, and this way making Adsense ads more relevant to the content… but it was so worth it! I just placed the codes to my WordPress theme, so the ad relevance testing experiment has begun! I hope I figured out where it is best to place the codes on my Revolution Magazine theme.

Due to the long list of topics on my sidebar, my current ads are totally irrelevant (they are all about hotels and apartments) so IF they change to match each article, this method is a winner!

I read on the Google site that the change brought about by section targeting codes might take a while, since Google ‘remembers’.

Pick an article on my site and see whether the ads became relevant yet: http://www.hunreal.com/

regarding the algo, I don’t suppose it could be that they run different ones for different purposes – one for generating SERPs, t’other for identifying targeting for ads? In fact, I’d propose that they most certainly do, the SERPs one will be far more robust and insistent.

Anyway, adding the weight ignore statement into sidebar should help my static pages, I hadn’t thought to do that before and it saves adding the section tag to hundreds of pages outside my standard template framework. Thanks!

I didn’t even know you could mark the sections of your text. This is a really neat ‘trick’. I use Permalinks too so these two added together should ‘pep’ things up a little on the CTR front ;-)

I've found Section targeting really helps with blogs that use dynamic URL's. Otherwise you should try & use the Permalinks aswell to get more on point targeting :) Stuart Earners Blog

Strangely enough, the ads being served on each post recently have looked more targeted than ever before. That said, this is a cool trick if that’s not the case for your site. I’ve implemented it regardless just to see if it pushes the CTR up a little further.

Thanks
