I run a large site with 130,000 pages of content that currently runs adsense on each page.

Google tends to index new pages quickly but after a time drops the older pages out of the index - this is fine as new pages get indexed to replace them.

However I have noticed that the deeper pages no longer show relevent adsense ads, this is a problem as the pages concered do get visitors directly and from other search engines such as yahoo and MSN - but as the ads are not relevent they don't get clicked. I have a Google Sitemap and various navigations that ensure the pages are as close as possible to the home page.

I am not concered about the pages being crawled and indexed by Googlebot (though that would be good) - but they do need to be crawled by mediabot for the above reasons?

Any suggestions as how to address the issue?

Thanks

How easy/hard is it for spiders to get to those pages?

Jill,

All pages are included on a googlesitemap which gets updated once per week.

There is conventional sitemap on the footer of everypage but content pages can be as much as 5 or 10 clicks away from the home page.

There is a date based navigation which was recently added ( about a month ago ) from which every page is accessable - there can be several 100 links or more on each page however. These are no more than 3 clicks from the home page.

Cross linking exists across the site - for example authors link to their own articles - but again this can be 4 or more clicks from the home page.

Several 1,000 RSS feeds are used by third party sites and these link to some of the internal pages.

Also some pages have a cache but still show non relevent ads - even though the page text is well focussed, with an appropriate Title and Description tag. These pages start out with relevent ads but when they are more remote from the home page the ads go off topic.

Thanks,

Clare
