Google AdSense launched today

New content targed ad program for content providers

[eaden]

It's way cool :)

[google.com...]

Not sure if this should be in Google News or adwords. I guess this forum should really be the one for AdSense questions as it's about advertising.

Also, it seems that the site hangs in IE. Mozilla ( as usual ) works perfectly so use that.

Unlike the exising content targed ads you do not need 20 million visitors to put these ads on your site.

Let the fun begin :)

Sure this is going to be big news, however what do ADVERTISERS have to say about the whole thing.

Have we noticed ANY quality traffic from contextual advertising...

Article I just picked up from Yahoo. Google will be expanding the number of sites that host adsense ads.

Also, the existing one for 20 million + visitors isn't/wasn't called AdSence. AdSence is brand new.

cant view the site in IE too. Seems to be stalling on the style.css file.

Yeah I think it will be big news. Does any other advertising network have 100,000 advertisers?

I agree--very neat stuff. :)

Glad I was up late chatting with webmasters or I would have missed the launch. I think the css file should be good now, but let me know if it's not. :)

Very interesting (and the fun with IE6 continues... The site works well with Opera 7, instead.).

Wonder if this service is open to web directories?

It does clearly state not on search results pages - So I would assume not :(

Neat stuff though - will have to look at it for some other sites :)

>>AdWords will be offline for 1 minute(s) beginning 8 minute(s) from now.

From adwords.google.com can this have something to do with the implementation?

Also will you be able to prevent your ads from being displayed on other sites (Like with Content targetting)?
