You just have to love it when Adsense only puts ads for "gay bear dating" and mail order brides on a site with about 95% female readers

Apparently so. It'd be nice if they were a bit more relevant, though.

you already know this, but obviously your page keywords are hitting the same keywords that those adbuyers are paying for and targeting

Yeah. YPN isn't what it used to be, either.

Yep, I know how it works. The problem is that I'm writing for people, not search engines. The solution is to eventually move away from Adsense to directly paying advertisers and affiliate programs.

Still, it would be nice if I could just specify my target demographic in Adsense.

I agree with you from the perspective of a publisher too, of course that goes against the way the whole system works though.

Well, it mainly seems to go against Google's "algorithms are better than humans" philosophy.

As someone who uses both Adsense and Adwords, I'd love to have the ability to use even flawed demographics.
