Does reviewing free pc games that have military themes trigger PSAs? I don’t have them at the moment but my last post has fewer ads showing. All the ads are unrelated to PC games to boot. (All my other posts are ok.)

Hi there. I am currently having problem with one of my blog. Maybe you can help me.

about 80% of my traffic is from this page:

http://techpinoy.blogspot.com/2007/11/funny-ust-scandal-aviexe-remover.html

the problem is, my adsense unit on THAT page only shows public service ads, it started just a week ago. I’m not having problem with other posts on my blog.

any idea?

During typhoon season, i post lots of news and updates about typhoons that hit our province. When i have this type of posts, i get mostly relief and all those donate and help ads that i assume are all PSAs. I also notice the drop in my adsense revenues. from .25 cents a day to .01 . There goes my 10$ per month loot.

[...] However, certain mitigating circumstances might prevent an ad impression on a page view and to some of you who have been observant enough, you will notice that your first couple of pageviews for a new blog entry would either result in a PSA or an empty ad space. PSAs still counts into ad impressions but obviously the blank ones don’t. This issue is factored into the discrepancy mentioned above, however I took 3 sample stats figures and compare them — 71.3%, 64.3%, 64.6%. This percentages represent the ratio between the Adsense ad impressions and the stats pageviews and there seems to be a huge difference. [...]

I noticed it as well. Could be something else that could have triggered it. Read here for more details.

The PSA’s are all over. If the regular ads don’t appear in my next few posts, I don’t have a choice but to take Adsense out. I read your other post on the potential earnings of Adsense given the number and type of visitors, etc.. My estimates led me to say I’ll earn my first $100 from Adsense in a decade. Haha.

@ noemi

Keyword density is also a trigger. If you have 3 out of every 100 listed as stop words, it could trigger the PSAs.

@ Manuel

There’s still the threshhold and if you notice I made the “stop words” as an image instead of a list. I think it still needs the 3% keyword density too.

@ Abaniko

It only affects pages which has these stop words so once your entries with the stop words are buried in the archives, the regular ads will appear.

However, if you get PSAs all over, then there could be something else that could be triggering them.

Manuel: the PSA’s have stopped. It used to show up during the first posting. Haha, the weird thing is it ‘s showing ads of the resort where my son drowned silly google.

So this is the reason why the PSA reappeared in my Adsense box. I used the words “death” and “drowned” in my recent post. Any idea when I could get the regular ads back? It’s like that for 3 days now and to think my Adsense is only an “experiment” which I put up 5 days ago.

Hi Abe,

I noticed this page isn’t showing PSAs even if you displayed some of those trigger words.

I wonder if section targeting will allow Noemi to include those stop words in her posts, but not trigger PSAs.

lol, I have a lot of those stop words i.e. death related ones. It can’t be helped. I talk a lot about death and grief.
