As an adsense publisher I'm curious as to how adwords publishers view adsense? So I'd like to poll you:

1. Do you enable or disable adsense?
2. Are you happy with adsense ROI?
3. Do you want to see Google integrate adsense into adwords in a deeper way?

Thank you.

1. Enabled, but I watch my traffic very very carefully. I'm prepared to shut it off at a moments notice if I start to see funny traffic.

2. ROI isn't as good as regular AdWords, but still okay.

3. Not sure what you are asking? If you're asking if I would like to have more control over where on the AdSense network my ads appear, or how often they appear, then most definitely. :)

1. Currently enabled, but my finger is ready to click disable any second.

2. ROI is pretty bad so far, at least in my industry. It seems that my products are so general that we get a lot of untargetted traffic.

3. I agree w/ ally_cat in the fact it would be great to be able to disable ads on certain publishers. However, I really don't see Google going that way for quite a while.

Enabled but also with care. I check logs to see where traffic comes from.

2. Are you happy with adsense ROI?
Seems similar to regular searches for us

3. Do you want to see Google integrate adsense into adwords in a deeper way?
I'd like (like everyone else) more control over where ads are shown and also a way to enable/disable adsense at the adgroup level, not at campaign level

I left the question a bit open-ended in the hopes of getting a bit more detailed of an answer, which has worked well so far.

1. Disabled (for all clients)
2. Can't answer, during the trial we got no relevant results to make it worth paying for)
3. Absolutely not

I'm both an adsense publisher and an adwords publisher.

1. It's all about ROI. If it's there, I take it. Enable, then monitor.
2. If it's positive, yes ;) It's not always the case, depends on the industry sector. Sometimes it's fine. Less controlled than the SERPs. Experiment, experiment...
3. Yes. Would be nice to pick and choose sites on which to display.

1. I recently enabled it (previously disabled)
2. Too early to tell
3. Just keep things moving forwards in a logical direction :)

I think you're answers are really going to be industry dependant as affiliates sites seem to make up the majority of the adsense partners.

Out of the last 10,000 impressions for all our ads, 0 were from AdSense. Since adsense started, I've had a total of 2 clicks from adsense, and 0 conversions.

So AdSense is currently enabled so if I ever get 2 clicks a day from it, I can check what site is going to run something that will give us adsense impressions and actually track the partners G has for our keywords.
