Here is a feature I would like to see incorporated into both WordPress and AdSense.  If it already exists in some other form, I would like to know.

Basically, I would like to see a Meta Tag that tells AdSense (or other ad programs) ad categories it should not use, on a per page basis.

I’m thinking in terms of WordPress type articles where, in a particular article, you want to give AdSense a “hint” that your article is attacking something.

For example, the way things work now, if someone writes a blog article attacking AARP, then AdSense mistakenly plasters AARP ads onto your page.

I recognize that you can limit the scope of ads in AdSense, from the user Dashboard, but that is not what I am talking about at all.  I am talking about the scenario where AdSense evaluates the content of an individual blog post (for example), and grabs content related to that post.

Maybe something like this:

<meta name=”NOAD” content=”aarp,othertopic,othertopic1″ />

<h3>Add an Input Box to the WordPress Editor</h3>

Finally, to complete this concept, upgrade the WordPres editor with one or more “Ad Hints” type boxes, to control the content of any Meta Tags tageted at dynamic ad selection.
