One interesting and constructive thing you can do is tailor the ads and
adapt them to the real content, thereby helping AdSense (i.e. the adver-
tisers in turn) get desired contextual placement and helping your visitors
get relevant links that fit well the topic you discuss. You are then more
likely to get clickthroughs too. See, for example, the discusssion here:

The principal idea is tagging. Writing many pages about asbestos might in-
crease your profits, but will leads to advertisers and visitors who frown.
