Hi there

I’m a newbie with adsense (not yet signed up for my account) it’s just that I need some advice since I suspect adsense may not be the best solution for me given the type of site I’m planning to launch.

I’m a php developer and I’m looking to launch a type of forum site…that’s to say that the content on most pages will be php code and details of where it’s not working.

My point is that I can’t help thinking the ads that get generated in relation to the content wouldn’t be of interest to my visitors therefore my CTR would be low

Here are some cases in point…

(at the time of posting the google ad generated towards the bottom of this page was for a site offering php freelancers…..now it all liklihood that’s who my visitors would be so they wouldn’t want to hire one would they..)

Here you see an article about alternating the row colours on an html table and you get ads that don’t have anything to do with php…..at the time I looked there was one about a site selling table cloths.

I would have thought my potential visitors would be interested in things like books on programming, DVD’s, interesting new softwares, sites offering free scripts etc.

So can anyone offer any advice on this?

Also is it possible to only accept ads from people doing a "site targeted" campaign as opposed to a contextual one?

thanks for any help

Juan
