We're using AdSense for our whole website for a while now. It's a car enthusiasts website with a forum. Except for one dynamic page most of the ads are pretty well on-topic. The dynamic page I'm writing about is the page that displays the changed forum topics since the last visit. On that page we frequently see Ads about MS Outlook integration and even medical software?! #*$!?

If there's no cookie (that's what the mediabot will see I suppose) the visitor of this page get's a list of all new or changed topics within the last 24 hours. I checked the page with a textbased-browser and there's always plenty of interesting keywords to be found.

Check it out here:

So I wrote all this to the AdSense support team and they keep coming back to me that there's not enough content for their bot to crawl on that particular URL.

Hmmm. Interesting.
The only problem I can think of is that this page is changing it's content (due to the nature of it) almost every time the bot calls it because there are new topics to be found and old topics dropping of the horizon. Certainly there is enough content to be found on that page but maybe not enough static content that is the same every time the bot visits us. Well, there are static metatags but according to the AdSense support team the bot is deliberately ignoring metatags.

Still, we need on-target ads for this page because this is one of the most visited page on our site as we have a lot of long-time subscribers who directly call this URL.

So, now what can we do? Add a few silly, static sentences about our website on that page? Actually, I don't want to harass our members with such Ad-optimizing rubbish. That's why I'm thinking about doing some... *evil-voice-on* cloaking *off*. If the page detects that it's being called by the AdSense-bot it could add some more content about our website. I know this isn't best practice and it may be against the AdSense guidelines but can this really lead to a ban in such an understandable situation? My guess is they probably won't find out about it anyway as the page is changing it's content anyway every other minute. Okay, they may now when they see this post :-)

Does anyone have any input for me?
