I was on dictionary.com and seen adsense ads with psa's on it.
Not really good news, but hey it's Friday!

Dictionary.com was previously running it as their own account (up until a month or so ago) but they were not showing ads targeted to the search terms, but showing various dictionary and thesaurus ads instead.

Now, they are running AdSense through an ad network rotation. I do see targeted ads, to buy dictionaries ;)

Inflation of the ad market related to dictionaries.
No more targeted ads since the budgets are spread over a zillion dictionaries.
Dictionarying is a trendy sport for the modern AdSense activist ... ;)

>So, now are we going to not have any more

sorry for the late answer macrost - i was busy downloading the recent update of the dictionary data file for my 10 years old sister's dictionary homepage.

The data is free but you'll need at least a 40 mb hd to host it!

LOL
