That is very much true, this solution allows adsense to scan the entry page.
It has been a while since I have played with these solutions, but I do believe you can force in keywords from what I recall.

In general, using purely AJAX is tough when using Adsense.

I don’t get it. I Think that the google adsense sends the URL back
to Google to analyze key-words for the ads. if your website is ajax-based,
then the URL will point to no text anyway..even if you refresh your ads,
google will still see no text in the page.

I’m using something similar to this code. I’ve read through the AdSense TOS, and from what I can tell it should be kosher, as you say. It’s certainly in the spirit of ad serving, in that you issue a reload – essentially in place of the browser doing it – in response to a user request for new page content. We refresh virtually everything on the page, so all’s well there.

The big limitation I’ve found is that when using banner ads, a portion of those are Flash – which doesn’t use an iframe. So, there’s nothing to target for the refresh, and it’s a complete roadblock from that point until a hard page reload occurs.

From what I have heard, Google does advise against it, but I have yet to hear them actually say no.
This method does seem to comply with the ToS as it does not modify their code nor cause unintended “clicks”.

This is great – although I was a little leary of it when I saw it was being used to update the ads. But you have a valid point – the user is clicking through your site in order to load new content, it just isn’t registering with Adsense and thereby not getting new content to the ads. I think that this is a legitimate use.

Has anyone asked Google?

I always appreciated Ajax and never used in my site because I was using Adsense as my primary source of revenue. I could not sacrifice the possibility of earning a few dollars over improving user experience. I believe and I’m waiting for some genius people like you will find some solution and make our life easier.
