It apparantly can be trained :)

Just not very well <G>

take a look at http://greekrow.com

http://greekrow.com/...cgi?query=greekpages

There is targeted advertising on that page.

The other "popular" searches (the site's only been open a week, and is pending sale) don't give any targeted ads, primarily, I think, due to lack of hits.

So, to update the logic for including a google adwords block on a page, would be if link count > 5, and there have been at least 10 (or more) searches for that keyword.

for performance reasons, it might actually pay to write a small plugin, that will tally keywords via a cron job, and create a separate table of "valid_adwords".

So, all your global will have to do, is search the "Valid_Adwords" table, and if there is a hit, show adwords code, otherwise show default (or no) code.

Done this way, you can also make a "Black_Hole" list (or flag) of keywords that only return PSA's even with the other criteria met.

Done this way, other "rules" could be added to the cron script for determining what is a valid keyword -- eg: your templates and globals would not have to be changed, but editing the script/plugin would change the criteria for a valid keyword.

Comments?

(ps... sorry about the typos I don't catch in my posts. I have a dell laptop, and after a year... quite frankly... it's had it. POS from day one. Keys stick, the silkscreen is coming off the keys, keys fire late, POS. <fume off>)
