AdSense for Domains Now Open to All Publishers

We've announced that we are extending AdSense for domains to all publishers

[AdSenseAdvisor]

We just posted this announcement on the Inside AdSense blog.

Google serving ads on parked domains has been going on for a couple of years.

Yes, it appalled me when I saw it the first time and going a little further down that road with this move is another step on the slippery slope to just another Lycos. The only thing that is maintaining the public's trust in Google is the lack of a trustworthy competitor. There are billions in them thar hills...

We can argue about what you did or didn't argue, but you seem to be assuming that Google's resources are finite, and that the new feature is being launched without provision for "effectively administer[ing] the program." Neither of us is in a position to know whether that's true.

At any rate, time will tell.

(B) Again so long as I am within the "law", why would someone else be concerned with who visits my domain, why they visit, and what content is hosted there?

BlueLeaf, I don't think people are concerned with who visits your domain. I think people are concerned that people visiting parked domains over time will have some overall negative effects on AdSense, the web in general, search habits, etc. Who knows if those concerns are valid, but I think there are some fair points being argued about possible negative effects.

This discussion reminds me of one I heard years ago lamenting that pop-up blockers were ruining business.

People who earn their living from advertising often forget that the general public doesn't like ads. They leave the room when they appear on TV and they click the back button when ads appear in their browser.

Google has managed to maintain some credibility as an advertiser, I hate to see that eroding.

I'm well aware of what happened in Berlin, but I had no idea The Great Wall fell in China... :)

Did you know that you can see parked domains form space?

But what do they pay?

If it's by results page impression and there are many ads how does that work? Does anyone know where to find details on how much is being paid for which actions ? I can't find a link within adsense.

I feel it is time for someone at Google to learn English!

AdSense for Domains Now Open to All Publishers

Since when has North America been the ONLY place where AdSense publishers have existed? Never if I remember correctly except maybe for a short while when it was first launched?

ALL means ALL Google or have you now adopted the Yahoo! version of global publishing?

Did you know that you can see parked domains form space?

And NASA is not amused, that extraterrestrial bandwidth is very expensive.

I realize you have a strong opinion, but it's just that - and it's not an informed one.

However, if you feel that strongly that the entire network is being degraded, there's an easy option available to you.

What am I missing here?

Is there a huge rush of advertizers into AdWords using the Content Network side of the system?

If not, it seems reasonable to me to think that opening up the AdSense for Domains program to more domain holders might well result in a dilution of the earnings possible on regular websites.
