Bill - "If you'd prefer not to participate in Onsite Advertiser Sign-up, you can opt out before it starts by visiting the My Account tab."

It's opted in by default, but you CAN opt out.

I'm going to give it a go. I guess if it doesn't work then publishers will be opting out in their droves, so G will have to re-think.

On the other hand it might well work! I'd rather have advertisers target me that one of the scrapers their ads appear on if they opt into content. They might spend more money on my site if it works for them than they would have done overall in content.

I take it we *can* opt out if we find it doesn't work?
