I'm confused, are they using the term publisher in the same sense we do or are they calling the advertisers publishers?

I feel this is going to be very good - and exquisite timing.

"Publisher" means "site owner" in this context. This would replace open source solutions like OpenAds and potentially compete with commercial solutions like Dart. Google isn't aiming for the really high volume publisher at the moment, though.

Really interesting move, sounds like it's muscling in on the ad auction market.

I think it's referring to publishers in the CJ's sense.
So if you have a web-site and want to have some rotating ads
on it (possibly your ads) you can opt-in to this server.
At least that's how i understood it after reading the whole article

We need to watch this. This could be very big for many of us on the WW board. Great catch Engine. Thank you!

I guess it is a good thing if we have more control over the settings of things like displaying ads to people visiting various pages. We would be able to mix and match affiliate ads, adsense and direct advertising instead of only having one type continually displaying. This could help reduce ad blindness and improve ge-targetting so affiliate offers don't get displayed to people that don't qualify for them.

It's about time. DoubleClick resellers added little to no value in the online advertising value chain. This move will provide a lot of benefits to the medium to small publishers, and will also create more dependencies on the Big G's services - so a win-win strategic move.

I don't see anywhere in the tour or in the FAQ as to whether it will have a front end that advertisers can use to signup for ads on your site, or whether it has a backend area for advertisers to check their stats. Am I missing something?

I'm really excited about this. It could eliminate my need for an overly complex ad server database/script that I use to deliver both adsense and direct-advertiser ads.

How does this compare with the Open Source OpenAds?
