I believed that Google Adsense policies implied that the ads will be targeted to the primary language of the content. Since this blog is written in English, I usually get english ads.<\/p>\n<p>The ad show above was spotted on our main page in the <strong>160&#215;600 vertical<\/strong> google adsense ad in the blog sidebar (The ads colours are different because I have changed the sidebar CSS template now). Notice that the <strong>first text ad is in Hindi (Indian language)<\/strong> and rest of ads were in english. The title and text of the ad are in Hindi, while the <strong>url is in english<\/strong> (I wonder why!). I visited the site (by typing the url of the ad) and the site was in english with no link to suggest an alternative hindi version of the page.<\/p>\n<p>Since this ad is <strong>geotargeted for India<\/strong>, it made sense to show Hindi ads intermixed with English ads, since most Indians would be able to understand these Hindi ads. But based on that corollary, would I like to see all my ads being shown in Hindi if an Indian reader is visiting us? I do not think so.<\/p>\n<p>I checked <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/support\/adsense\/bin\/answer.py?answer=9727\" rel=\"noopener\">what languages AdSense supports<\/a>. Though I found several different languages there, <strong>Hindi is not listed there<\/strong>. Does that mean Hindi language sites cannot run Adsense ads because it is an unsupported language? I decided to see things from the advertisers point of view. I read this article from Google Adwords support titled How does language targeting work? It suggests that advertisers can create multiple language ads to target a greater international audience.<\/p>\n<p>A search for Hindi in both Adsense and Adwords support returned no results. I understand that if your site&#8217;s primary language is english, they will show english ads. This can be tested by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/2005\/11\/official-google-adsense-preview-tool\/\">Adsense preview tool<\/a>, which will display english ads geotargeted to the country, but the language does not change.<\/p>\n<p>Has anyone seen <strong>multiple language ads<\/strong> on your site based on multiple supported languages in your country e.g. would a reader in France see both ads in french and english?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today I was surprised to see ads in multiple languages (English and Hindi) being loaded on my blog sidebar.
