Thank you! Checking it out!

Section targeting is a feature of Google Adsense itself, so there is no blackhat magic in it. The idea behind section targeting is, that if you have pages with alot of recurring text, and only smaller parts of text that is your content, Adsense could be tricked into using the recurring text to target the ads instead of your content. This recurring text could be other ads, links to other pages, your menu choices, …
However, Google does indeeed state that you are not allowed to use section targeting to drive traffic or ads to your site for false keywords. So having a site about the starfish, and then using section targeting to get ads on your site about mortgages is definately not allowed.

oh and you have a 500 internal error in your TWEET THIS, or DIGG THIS box in the top right corner of your post………just FYI

Could you please point us to this section in the Google TOS so that we can make sure we are not breaking it. I don’t see how it would serve much of a purpose other than to target higher paying keywords……why else would anyone care what ads were displayed…..Its natural that they want the keywords that pay them the highest…..

This is the section I am talking about in the TOS that I would like you to link to if possible…

“If you use it to drive other topic (probably higher paying) ads to your site by targeting false keywords, you are working against the Google policy, and you could get your account closed.”
