Google Adsense Section Targeting. Is It Necessary For Blogger Blogspot ?

SEO Focus - The official help support of google adsense said, Google Adsense Section Targeting allows us to tell adsense script about sections of our text and HTML content that we'd like adsense to emphasize or downplay when matching ads to our site's content.

Maybe this could be useful ideas to targeting our adsense, except for google blogger engine. For blogger blogspot, the section targeting is automatically added by the blogger engine.

You can see in the picture below, how blogger automatically add tag in our blog page source:

<!-- google_ad_section_start(name=default)


<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

Google Adsense Section Targeting Tag Start

and

Google Adsense Section Targeting Tag End

I've been searching any information for this tag, but i couldn't find any results. the official said, we just have to add this tag to our targeted section:

<!-- google_ad_section_start -->


<!-- google_ad_section_end -->
Yes, it feels weird. because, the only variation of the tag that we could find in the official help site is:
<!-- google_ad_section_start(weight=ignore) -->
Ok, for the conclusion, we didn't have to put any section targeting tag to our blogspot blog, because the engine was kind enough to do this automatically for us (thanks god).

But, wait until you read for the bad news i've found. The "auto default tag" will override the "ordinary start tag" that hasn't had any default in its name. this is way we call it "the default". Anything that hasn't got any default value will always refer to the default.

And no matter how you put the <!-- google_ad_section_start --> tag, the adsense will always ignore it, and refers it back to the default start section.

Until then. good luck for targetting your sense.
