Hi

Sorry about all the code but thought I should include it to show you what I mean. I'm in the process of optomising a new site to include Adsense - the problem is that my Meta tags are positioned near the bottom of the page [i've hightlighted these in bold] with a load of php code on top of them.

I'm concerned that the Ads I will get will be based on the php and will not be influenced by my meta tags. I've run an Adsense test at Adsense Sandbox and it returns ads for authentication and password protection which is not what I want.

Does the position of the meta tags effect the ads adsense returns and if so are the metatags better at the top of the page?

Is it possible to move the meta tags and what code would I need to include and where should I put it?

Hope this make sense and thanks for any help.

Google doesn't see this page like you. PHP is executed on server and Google only sees the html like Internet Explorer, etc. And your meta tags are generated at the right place.

brp

If you are worried about positioning start the HTML first with the meta tags, then close html and run the PHP then put your HTML content below that.

thanks for the replies, Adsense Sandbox is reporting back on the html and seems to be ignoring the metatags and picking up on the login box hence the password and authentication ads - is there anyway to avoid Adsense selecting these words to base the ads on?

Cheers

ZuraX

I read on Google that they suggest you put the adsense ads AFTER all the content on your site. This way the bot gets more "keywords" that it can maybe pull ads for.

Good tip ZuraX - Thanks

brp

But if you put it at the bottom of the page its less prominent so less ctr

ZuraX

NamePros puts it after all the posts and my ctr is pretty good for being in that spot and on a forum.
