no, what we need most urgently is in fact control over the site targeted things on adsense.
we need to have control of which advertiser is appearing prominently on our websites in big fonts and occupies four ad spots.
we need to have control of flashy blinking graphical banners with colors that match our site design in no way, constructed for maximum attention.
we need to have control of cheapo advertisers who sneak in shady advertising messages and dillute our brand.

have you ever wondered why image ads don't work with adsense?

If they want to compete to replace graphical campaigns as opposed to just competing with Adsense text, at least for me, they need to open up.

well, yeah, they need to show me the banner, they need to show me the bid and i give feedback. kind of negotiating the terms for an ad placement and google taking their share of the business. time to professionalize the system. one thing is for sure: advertisers need to pay way more than the pennies they do now for their image campaingns on the content network. no branding for free on my sites!
