| Re: A feature request: Would it be possible to give some capability to disable the contextual targeting? | i4c | 6/30/12 7:45 AM | @ if I put all of my content in <!-- google_ad_section_start(weight=ignore) --><!-- google_ad_section_end -->, would it be possible? If you did that, you'd probably just get ads for Google products like Chrome as you haven't given the bots anything |

| Re: A feature request: Would it be possible to give some capability to disable the contextual targeting? | i4c | 6/30/12 8:42 AM | There's always a risk with contextual advertising that some inappropriate ads might slip through. In some (but not all) parts of the world there are category filters to assist but, even then, some inappropriate ads still display if the advertisers ha |

| Re: A feature request: Would it be possible to give some capability to disable the contextual targeting? | i4c | 6/30/12 9:05 AM | ... its might be worth an experiment but then again if the bots don't know what your page(s) are about they could end up displaying anything and you could end up with worse ads than before. Similarly if the ads are of no interest to your visitors you |

| Re: A feature request: Would it be possible to give some capability to disable the contextual targeting? | i4c | 6/30/12 9:17 AM | Why do you think its a bug and its not really a feature request; you're asking them to launch an entirely new advertising model. You signed up for a contextual advertising program, if you didn't want that you should have explored other options :) |

| Re: A feature request: Would it be possible to give some capability to disable the contextual targeting? | i4c | 6/30/12 9:42 AM | @ If bots fetch nothing, then they should render nothing. why end up with "anything"? Because you've placed an ad code for them to fill. If you wanted nothing simply remove the ad code. I've nothing really further to add; if you don't want contextua |

| Re: A feature request: Would it be possible to give some capability to disable the contextual targeting? | i4c | 6/30/12 9:53 AM | @ I never asked for a new advertising model, surely. Final comment. What you're asking for is a bit like signing up at a horse program to get a horse and when the horse arrives asking whether it would actually be possible to change it into a penguin |
| Re: A feature request: Would it be possible to give some capability to disable the contextual targeting? | gddsmith | 6/30/12 10:20 AM | Well I would agree that you are asking for a new model that Google doesn't provide through Adsense. If you place ad code on your site those codes are making request & using resources even if the bots determine that in some or many cases there are no |
