AdSense for errors sites

Print
Our AdSense for errors program serves users with targeted AdWords ads when they enter an unregistered URL or a search query in their browser's address bar rather than in a search engine such as Google. Previously, these searches would result in error pages (i.e. a '404 error' page), which would leave the user with no other option but to renew the search query. Now, these pages offer ads (some pages also include actual search results) that can be relevant information for the user.

AdSense for errors uses Google's semantic technology to thoroughly interpret search queries before delivering targeted, contextually relevant ads to users. The pages that display your ads through AdSense for errors belong to our Content Network. Only advertisers opted into Google's Content Network may have their ads shown on these pages.
