Adsense for blogs sucks


Jaya [[http://jayajha.blogspot.com/2005/08/google-adsense-for-blogs.html|talked about this]] a while back. The google ads on my blog are //so// pathetic. What is surprising though is that they are not completely random. So for instance, one of my first posts on this blog (which is around when I put adsense here as well) was on [[http://floatingsun.net/blog/2005/07/16/29/|mail forwarding and SMTP servers]]. And the ads at that time were on these topics as well.

So far so good. However, since then, the ads haven’t changed much. They still keep talking about mail services and SMTP. For some reason it seems Adsense is not “sensing” my content any more. Do people have any tips on this? Both my blog and my site use Google sitemaps. I try to link when I’m not lazy. I use tags that connect to technorati, flickr, wikipedia.

What else can I do? Why won’t these ads make more sense? I mean its really bad when I’m viewing single posts. The ads just don’t make //any// sense. Google, you listening?
