After busting my rear for weeks to try and get GOOD ads on one of my pages I decided to do some testing and expermentation. I finally came up with how to get perfectly targeted ads. Nothing i did was new, and everything I did is available in this forum, but I dont think anyone has ever put the stops together and posted them (if they have, i hadn't seen it) - so here it is for any other newcomers struggling with ad-targeting:
1)Make sure the the ads you want are available. This was my biggest problem! I was trying to get ads on a particular page, but there were NO advertisers for the keywords/subject. Seems pretty obvious, but to check ad inventory just do a G search on a few keywords that you want ads for. If searching for "little blue widgets" does not return any AdSense ads on the right-side of the results page, you may have to widen your search to "blue widgets", or just "Widgets". The more ads you see the more inventory is available.

2) Create your page with the normal content - dont try to stuff it full of keywords to draw in your ads - just create a regular page. Here is the KEY: NAME that page with the keywords you used to find your ads using DASHES (not underscores!) or example, "pretty-blue-widgets.htm" and NOT "pretty_blue_widgets.htm"

3) Publish your page and WAIT. Normally you will have some good ads immediatly, but to fully and properly populate your page with good ads you need to wait for the AdSense G-bot to visit. For me this takes anywhere from 5 minutes to one hour. Dont make any changes to try and fine-tune the ad-targeting for at least an hour.
