Content for sites serving AdSense

Does it make sense to offer my site as content

I run a classifieds ad site that has thousands of listing. At this point I am just working on increasing the amount of activity on the site so there are no ads (other than the classifieds of course), no graphics, no fees for posting ads, etc.

I've already done some work so that other webmasters can include the content of my site using a single line by including a javascript file. Kinda like AdSense itself. When using the contents of the classifieds site, the users remain in the originating site which can serve up fresh ads for each new page.

Now the question is, is it something that will be worthwhile to a webmaster that serves AdSense?

I would appreciate any comment or feedback you might have.

Jeff,

If you're offering the ability to display classifieds that match certain keywords, it could indeed be useful content for webmasters.

My only question is this: where would the benefit be financially to the webmaster who is displaying the classifieds. For you, of course, you're getting traffic onto your classifieds site that will eventually have ads on it and make you some money. But what's in it for the webmaster? A sign-up fee once you start charging for posting ads perhaps?

There's got to be something in it for the webmaster financially or few will sign up IMO.

G's Mediacrawler will not be able to read the js-content, the way to do this is via atom/RSS

The only benefit to the webmaster would be the increased stickyness and potentially the increased revenue from AdSense. My site does not offer registration, has no revenue and all ads posted are free.

Looks like the idea might be a no go.

Sorry misread your actual question.
