Hello,
I've registered with AdSense a couple of months ago but I can't figure out some things. First of all, when I registered, I had an option for some countries. What are these countries for to get my advertising from?
If it is that, how can I change it to get advertising from only one country and in my language, if it's possible. (Greek)
I tried to find if I can change that but didn't find any options for that in my account. I've sent an e-mail to Google staff
but the answer they gave me had nothing to do with that. Maybe they didn't understand what I wanted.
I own a forum with an average of 500 visitors a day and I placed the AdSense links in the topics.
In these topics, I have downloads, and it's impossible not to have at least 50 clicks. If I get $1.50 a day, I'm happy but is that the whole idea, with 500 visitors and growing, to get $1.50 per day? That means the visitors don't like the links I have there cause all the members are Greek. How can I change it to get advertisements only from Greece and if it's possible from other countries but only mp3 music links. These are the subjects I want. From Greece it could be anything.
I hope that you understand this and I'm waiting for your reply.
Thank you.

That might be part of the problem.
(Like you've done here), you're looking to Google Search help for Google AdSense Help.
To begin with, have a look at the AdSense help center. You should be able to find most of the answers you're looking for there.
(And, I'm moving this from the Search Engine, to the AdSense forum.)

Sorry I posted in the wrong forum. I couldn't find AdSense forum cause it was second in the row in the title. Anyway, if I found, in the Google help centre, something similar that I was posting here, I wouldn't be asking for help from you. In a few words you're telling me that you send everybody to Google help centre. If you can find something similar with my question that I posted here in Google help centre, then I will appologize to you. Except, if you don't know what I'm talking about and you want to easily get rid of me.
Probably, something is going on here and I don't know it.
P.S. I read the whole Google help centre and didn't find what I was looking for. |

The reason that I posted the link to the AdSense help center, is that it contains information specific to Adsense problems.
Some people are unaware that each Google Service- Search, Adsense, Adwords, Analytics, etc. has its own specific help center.
If I wasn't trying to provide actual help for you, I simply wouldn't have replied.
Now, did you actually click the link I posted?
Once there, it's relatively easy to find other links like How Do I Change My Display Language
Or the list of other Q & A's if you simply search for language.
And no, I do not, as a matter of course, simply 'send' people anywhere.
I was simply trying to ensure that you were aware of the location of a pertinent resource.
If you didn't find the answer you were looking for, I expected you to post back.
Feel free to continue to do so, until you have a satisfactory answer.

You cannot SELECT the advertisements you want to display, they are chosen by google by reading the TEXT content of your page.
Greek users in greece will probably get ads in greek if there is enough greek advertisers for your page's topic. Visitors living in the UK or US will have most ads in english on the same page.

| I can understand that but what kind of read is that that Google does? I have a site with Greek music and I have about 20.000 visitors a month. They don't care about Share Point Password, Admin. Password, Recovery Password, Invision Power Board VBulletin Board and this crap. They want to click on something associated with Greece. I had 700 visitors today and I have AdSense, Link Unit, Ad Unit all over the forums, I even placed them in the topics so that they can click on it even by mistake but it doesn't interest them. I made 25 cents today with 700 visitors. This is a joke. Why should I advertise Google? Do they give us money. No! They give us peanuts. I'm going to try to make about $100 then stop after that. I'm not going to fill up my site with Google ads for 25 cents a day! One day I made $3.50 but the weird thing was that they had Greek links on it. I have seen sites with all Greek advertisements and in the Greek language also. I asked here about Greek language and they sent me to Google help search. I don't want the Greek language for reading but my advertisements to be in Greek.I haven't found that option in Google. Anyway, thanks guys. The more I write the more pissed off I get. I even sent an e-mail to Google and they told me to go to Google help. They didn't even bother to give me an explanation. Hotshots. |

In order to get less pissed off you should give us one or two url that are very problematic to you, so we can look what can be the problem and what to do to improve your situation, if adsense was crap there wouldn't be thousands forums about it.

I don't want to publicise my url because I have my own sources to advertise my site.
As for Google, you might be right, and all these things I wrote, I wrote them when I was angry.
I've sent you a pm with my link and I hope I'm wrong about Google. |

Well? Have you visited my site? Today I checked my AdSense and I made 3cents with 700 members logged in and I don't know how many visitors!
Everybody thinks that they will make some money and they're waiting like fools, like me, hoping they will make a target. How much do you make? Nobody has anything to lose so they have the ads there. If I don't make any money with these members that I have, when will I make it. I could make $5.00 a day from anybody with a small banner to advertise them. It doesn't have to be Google. If I don't make anything then I'll just get rid of Google, that's all.
They should have an official forum to give official answers and not to leave people to wonder how much they will get.
I tried to find,in the Google Help Centre, an answer about how much I'll earn from a click and what I found was complicated answers sending me from one link to another with no result and no answer to my question. They just left me wondering.
To be satisfied, from Google, I have to make at least $10.00 a day with the kind of members I have. Anybody get that target? I doubt it.

All that I write above might be very stupid. That's how I see things at the moment and that's what I write. I might be mistaken because I don't know anything about AdSense. The only thing I've done is place the codes. If I see some results, then I will appoligise but I don't think that that will happen.
I hope I will make some money and then call me fool if you want. I don't care. |

If your members need a login and password to access your site, then adsense can't access it (the feature is in beta only) and so cannot target the ads it is servingm hence the poor targeting.
Also there is an official adsense forum, youwant to go to google.com type adsense, then search, then click on GROUPS tab, it will show you the google groups about adsense.
But if the only pages where you have adsense are password protected pages then it is no surprise that adsense can't read them in order to know what content theyare about, and so the targeting is done solely on URL, the thing adsense can immediatly get without sending a bot to the page. (it can know the url with the user agent variable)
Atleast that's what I think of your problem, try adsense on a public website and you'll noptice the difference after a few hours.

Telemarcus, This 2 reports in this link will tell you why your Adsense earnings are so miserable. One report tells the reason why Adsense earnings will continue to go down. The other shows you a way out by of the game. It has to do with movin yourself up the food chain. Current Adsense publishers are at the bottom of the food chain. You are paid peanuts for your visitors you attract to your site. To move up, (that's where the money is), you need to reposition your self. The second report shows you how. And the best part is, you don't need to pay a cent. The reports are in pdf format and can be dowloaded for free. There are no links in ther to try to upsell you anything. Read it and let me know how it is |
