Section Targeting for Wordpress Posts - Google AdSense Plugin There are many Wordpress plugins to help you put Google Ads onto your blog. This is not one of those plugins. Have you ever noticed that the ads on your site are not that relevant to the post in which they are showing? This is a normal problem, because Google tries to read your entire page to get the best ad for your site.

What the AdSense Section Targeting feature allows you to do is to specify to Google, which parts of the content of your article are the ones that AdSense should take into consideration when deciding which ads to serve on that page.

How to Add Section Targeting in Wordpress Post Content Automatically

So how do you tell Google which ads to serve on your blog?

Easy, there are two lines of code you should add inside the HTML of your single post to achieve this.

<!– google_ad_section_start –> : Put this before the content that has the relevant text you want for ads
<!– google_ad_section_end –> : Put this after the content that has the relevant text you want for ads

If you are familiar with editing code, you can put this before and after the WordPress hook "the_content()"
