Oh, yeah? But some pages that contain the words above show
Adsense ads normally.
Why am I getting PSAs?
Possibly, because you
tripped a threshold, such as -
Theory #1 - Bad Theme in Totality
Each stop word has a
weight - the (weights times occurrences) are summed - if the
score is too high, you get
PSAs.
Theory #2 - Bad Combinations, Proximity
If certain
combinations of stop words are on the page, you get
PSAs.
For instance, the
word love associated with a number of other words, such as
what you get when you squeeze oranges. Either word used
alone is fine, but together, no
way!
Theory #3 - Too
many, simple count
If a certain number
of stop words are used on the page, you get
PSAs.
Theory #4 - Odious
domain
Even though there are
no stop words on a particular page, other pages on the same
domain may receive such a "bad score", that only PSAs are
given for ALL pages on the domain. If reviewed, Google may
ban the domain entirely from the
program.
If you are diligent,
you can please the Google filter, and make everybody happier
-
Yourself, Google, and your Visitor. Root out the offending
words!
Give your visitors more choices.
And, make more money.

STICKY
Keep in mind that the AdSense stop-word filter CAN BE
sticky.
It has been reported that even after a page is "fixed", it
can still return PSAs until the next "review" of your page,
whether software or human. This has been demonstrated by
renaming the file. By renaming the exact file, the PSAs have
been eliminated immediately. One must weigh this against the
immediate, although temporary link loss, unless you
skillfully redirect.
Some say that stickiness is to prevent testing in real
time.
But I just don't understand why they wouldn't want to
help us comply.
There must be reasons.
Reminds me of Kramer in the Seinfeld episode "The Pool Guy"
(on the phone with George, pretending to be a movie
information robot) - "Well, why don't you just TELL ME the
name of the movie you want to see?"
"Why don't you just tell us the words you don't want us to
use?"
Too easy, I guess. Maybe because the list probably changes
daily, as new bad combinations are discovered.
-----
If there is a word or words that absolutely must be on the
page, create a graphic of the word, and insert it instead.
That way, you will not offend the mediapartners spider by
activating the "adsense-stop-word-filter". Make sure the
"alt text" is something else as well.
-----
Consider also the implications with AdWords customers (the
advertisers).
The advertisers find pages that they don't want their ads
shown on. In some cases, it is just counterproductive; in
others, it can be in bad taste, sometimes terrible taste.
Examples have been given.
-----
If you are serious about search engine marketing, you should
be diligent about avoiding any STOP words that may exist, in
order to achieve the best search engine optimization.
-----
Watch your language. Seek not to offend. Don't cuss! Wash
out your mouth with soap. Ha!
I believe that this page is helpful for SEO webmasters, and
especially helpful for Google.
Google, website visitors, and webmasters ALL prefer to see
AdSense ads instead of PSAs.
Let's help 'em all!
