Haven't seen it mentioned at anytime on the forum, so I though I'd share my findings.

Basically by adding certain comments to your pages you can tell the adsense robot to only 'read' certain parts of your page before it chooses relavent ads for display. This means for example you can comment out your menu systems and and other text that is not 'relavent' to your content. Thus making your adsense unit relavent to your specific content.

Maybe people have known it for ages - however looks good eh?

I found it seems to work less well in situations where (for whatever reason) the "important" part of the page is much smaller than the "unimportant" part. For instance, if you have a shortish article and a long ad on a related but non-central theme, you might want to emphasize the article and deemphasize the ad.

Works up to a point, but it works much better when the situation is reversed.
