Adsense plugin for WP blogs
For anyone that is using WordPress, there is an Easy Adsense plugin that allows you to determine where your Adsense ads are placed and, as you know, Adsense ads are derived from the words in your post or page. So, whether or not you think of your page as containing keywords, Adsense does.
As an example, if in your blog, you coin the phrase "Belly up to the bar" it's possible that your Adsense ads will be about belly fat or exercising eventhough your blog is about the amount of alcohol consumed in america (limp example but hopefully you get the gist). Within this particular plugin, you can choose where your ads are placed so, for me, I'm thinking that I will change my settings so that the ads only show on my static pages, as those are more informational and topic specific; however, I will stop them from showing on my blog which is more personal, willy nilly and lawd only knows what ad topics will be placed as a result. I'm thinking that Thesis has these same options.
**Very important**There is code prefilled in the Easy Adsense plugin so do not think that this plugin somehow "pulled in" your Adsense code. Take the existing code out and copy your own code into the alloted fields. There is no telling how many people have someone else's code on their pages thinking it's theirs.
Now this is no excuse for not putting serious thought into your keywords as, another plugin, called Blog Exchange and a few others can be activated to place blogs of similar topics to the bottom of your posts. Think of it as a "related links" type thing. The good thing about this is that you pull similar topics from other blogs and your topics show up in someone else's blog. If you aren't specific (trust me, I know) you can end up with blogs relating to the FDIC because you coined the phrase "Don't bank on it".
Hope this is helpful to someone.
