Irrelevant Advertisements

[sufi]

I recently launched this website and it is about brain teasers and riddles.

Brain Teasers and Riddles

But I am getting ads that aren't related to this niche. Can anyone tell me any tips so that it shows relevant ads? Thanks.

try the competitive ad filter: https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/static.py?page=adfilter.html

you could also try to throw on more keywords that are relevant to your niche

I have blocked all unrelated sites and other MFA sites using the filter but still it shows irrelevant ads. I have also tried to change keywords but it doesn't give better result.

Whats your niche ? Your might not have enough relevant Ads to show ? Did you check your keywords with AdSense preview tool ?

Have you tried surrounding your keyword content with the google ad section tags?
Like this...
<!-- google_ad_section_start -->

Keyword related content

<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

I also surround my untargetted content with the (weight=ignore)
Like this...
<!-- google_ad_section_start(weight=ignore) -->

Code; Navigation sections; Ad sections;

<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

I'll try that. Is it fine according to TOS?

It is fine as long as you are not touching the code its self !

Olgi beat me to it but yes its ok to do.

One thing that has helped me over the years to understand google is to do all of the tutorials they offer, even if you never will use adwords DO the tutorials on it, because once you understand how someone places a ad and that mindset then your steps ahed when you earn from google
