Adsense's main competition?

Who would you say are their main competitors on the net today?

If you include Premium Publishers, definitely Overture. If you are referring only to the standard AdSense program, it really depends. I'm sure standard affiliate marketing relationships are doing better for some publishers than AdSense is.

Good point about Affiliates.

The biggest competitor to Adwords is defffinitely Overture.

I would rank #2 free listings of any kind be that affiliate pages or the merchant's pages. From the new SERPS, it appears to me that Google is allowing Bizrate and Epinions become #3 - if there is an acquisition, we'll know why.
