Have you ever seen some strange Google Ads appeared in your blog? I’ve just seen one that is quite pointless because you have to type in which type of ads you would like to see. Don’t get me? See this.
This is the link unit ads that is shown under my header. The fact is, who will type in which type of ads they would like to see in that box? Hmm.. Maybe someone is curious enough will do that. Will you? I think these types of ads will show up if Google can’t find any relevant ads to show on your site. That’s what happening here I think.

Adsense is launching a new referral program called Adsense Referrals which is still under beta. The program is basically based on CPA (Cost Per Action) clicks which is totally different from normal CPC (Cost Per Click) ads.
How CPA Works?
You get to select which kind of ads to show on your website, based on the categories your site is in.
As I was congratulating Cely for her first Google Adsense Check on her blog, my housemate came into my room and handed me a letter from New York. Yippie! It’s my first Google Adsense Check! Finally, it arrived after waiting for months for it!
Google Adsense is popular for showing ads relevant to the site content. But sometimes it fails to do so where you will get some other ads which are differ to your content. For my site as example, sometimes I get ads like US Army, Who’s the next Pope and other ads that I don’t even know why is showed in my site. My NBA season post is no longer in the main page but still I get a lot of NBA and basketball ads instead of others.
So how do we get relevant ads then? There is a method called Section Targeting. All we need to do is by adding a special HTML comment tags into our code. These tags will mark the beginning and end of whichever section(s) you’d like to emphasize or de-emphasize for ad targeting. By doing this, you will tell the Google Adsense bot to focus on your content and not your domain name, website’s title or description.
The HTML tags to emphasize a page section take the following format:

After waiting for almost 1 month, Google Adsense mail finally arrived. It is not my paycheck though but its just a mail containing a pin code. Once adsense users reached $50 balance for the first time, Google will send the user a mail containing a pin code to validate their address.
