I don't see a shortage in ads, I also don't see the usage of a "rebate" to bring in customers into adsense as something borne out of desperation. I think is more of a case of "We are not growing as fast as before so lets try to hit those percentages again".

It is fair to say that contextual advertising as Google implemented it, has been a hit. But the fact that there is a much bigger market out there is where Google is going to make that growth rate.
