We just announced that publishers will now be able to allow Google-certified ad networks to compete with AdWords advertisers for the display inventory on your pages.

This is great news for you because it means the auction for your image-ad-enabled ad blocks will be getting more competitive.

Please check out today's Inside AdSense blog post and the AdSense Help Center [google.com] for the full scoop, but I'm here to answer as many of your questions as I can.

Seriously, this has been a long time in the making and I hope you're as excited as I am.

We're rolling this out slowly in coming months, so please don't read anything into short-term revenue fluctuations (which I can almost guarantee have nothing to do with today's launch).
