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.
I remember when About.com launched its Luna Network back in the late 1990s, then revamped the whole thing after a few months. Sprinks also went through a trial-and-error phase (and maybe still is, for all I know). Google's AdSense looks considerably more promising than either Luna or Sprinks, but I'm sure we'll see changes in their terms of service and policies if they want penetration in categories where content sites are already making money.
Chicago, I've seen the sort of page analysis that we've developed in AdSense. There's a lot of smart stuff going on there, and I expect some of the technology that we've developed will help us in understanding page content for regular search results. I think document summarization/document-as-query is a good technology for Google to develop for several reasons. So I'll stand by what I said earlier.
I showed some adwords ads through their RON buys on two networks, and the ads were not nearly as well targeted. Strange, maybe the way the ads were in an iframe? Curious. Haven't picked it apart yet. This stuff was dead on from page view #1. Damn.
The keywords are definitely tied with the content of the page and not the url like the A.S. stuff I've seen before.
Really, realy cool stuff!
Chicago:
Business wise, you can all argue over models and what is best to monetize your visitors, but for those of us who were already showing banner ads, this is a very welcome improvement. You have to give them props for making such a graceful entry into this market.
Interesting, europeforvisitors. Let me know if anything new develops with your sites and AdSense.
I sent the AdSense support team an e-mail in which I echoed some of the comments I've made here and requested clarification of what the problem might be. It would seem to me that Google would be better off having highly targeted AdWords run on my site than the only somewhat targeted AdWords that Tribal Fusion is serving. No big deal, though--affiliate revenues are my bread and butter; I was just interested in trying a different flavor of AdWords jam. :-)
It's not economic to have the overhead of writing out hundreds and thousands of very small cheques each month.
This part of the business plan.
Of course it is, and it makes perfect sense.
To send you out 8 very small cheques over a period of 8 months would cost *you* more than $18!

The sites that normally join Adsense will have it, or not?
... a link saying "Ads by Google", on top of the ad boxes, but the sites on the case study donīt have it. The sites that normally join Adsense will have it, or not?
I think you'll find new sites running the ads will have the "Ads by Google" link on the ads.
