Does Showing Fewer AdSense Ads Lead to Higher Earnings? 2007-07-28 18:18:00 When AdSense first appeared, publishers could only place a single ad unit on a page. (Yes, I’ve been using AdSense for that long!) That restriction was later relaxed to allow up to three ad units per page. (See Chapter 22: Know the Program Policies.) As you can imagine, many publishers immediately added two more ad units to their pages. Assuming each ad unit was showing four ads (the maximum allowed), that meant that up to 12 ads were being shown on a given page. But is that the right thing to do? Does each ad unit you add make you more money?

Internet Cafe Owner Receives Google AdSense Ban 2007-08-13 18:19:00 A WebmasterWorld thread tells a story of a Google
AdSense publisher who used his "60 internet kiosks and cafes around Las Vegas," as a means of generating some more side cash for those kiosks. What he did was default the kiosks to a page which had AdSense on it and a Google search feature, powered by AdSense for Search. Technically, doing that is just fine. But I suspect the suspicious high volume of clicks from the same IP blocks, over time, raised a red flag.

Google Adsense - Ads That Make You Money! 2007-08-15 18:20:00 One of the main reasons for its popularity, is the fact that the GoogleAdsense
program is incredibly accurate. By stepping beyond the boundaries of simple keyword matching, it has quickly become one of the most prominent tools to display accurate advertisements. A list of keywords is still used as the basis of triggering ads, but complex algorithms now ensure that non-relevant ads no longer show up on your site.Google Adsense
also gives you the option to be selective about the type of ads you wish to display. This helps you direct your visitors towards certain type of products and avoid non-relevant or competitor ads. To make it possible for everyone to integrate Adsense into their sites, the program offers a wide variety of settings that allow you to alter the ads' size and appearance.

Microsoft announced yesterday via the Windows Live Blog that it plans to extend its Content Ads 2007-08-22 12:54:00 Microsoft is offering its advertisers features like keyword-level pricing, so that advertisers can opt to pay different amounts based on different keywords, and separate content and search bidding, which will allow advertisers to decide whether they want to advertise on search pages, content pages, or both. Microsoft also says that once it expands the program out to more of its properties, ad campaigns will automatically be expanded to include the new sites. Content
Ads are Microsoft's answer to Google's AdSense, and many hope that Microsoft's opening the program up to the public will introduce more meaningful competition in the space. Another major player in the market would offer more choice and hopefully fuel more competition, not only in technology and features, but also in pricing and terms.

Why YouTube’s ads could change the video landscape 2007-08-24 14:02:00 Google’s online video
unit, YouTube
, this week unveiled ad units for video. After months of testing, Google thinks it has finally found an ad format that will satisfy marketers without alienating video viewers. In YouTube’s new ad format, a translucent pane appears for 10 seconds on the bottom fifth of the video screen; click to see the ad, and the video pauses and the ad plays. When the ad is finished, the video picks up where it left off. At first blush, the video ad move might seem like little more than Google’s attempt to make back the $1.65 billion it spent last year to buy YouTube, a startup with a devoted following of video viewers, but few revenues and no profits. And indeed, Google is a public company, so it will need to find ways to make its investment pay off.

Will AdSense Be the "Huge Deflator" of Exchange Hype? 2007-09-11 19:47:00 "Basic adsense [sic] on the site does $8-10 CPM and the advertisers on other networks who do participate in the exchange managed about 10-20 cents in the brief time I ran the trial." But he's not ready to give up on exchanges yet: "It’s a great concept. Just nowhere near ready for prime time and for the moment Google, on a direct response basis, is always going to be the top bidder, which may turn out to be the huge deflater of recent exchange hype."

What is the "Allowed Sites" feature 2007-09-07 17:09:00 I'm not surprised you are a bit confused by that feature
, since Google just added it to AdSense in the last few weeks. The feature is a risk avoidance one that can be most easily demonstrated by you doing a quick Edit --> View Source on this very page.Scroll down. Find the block that is Google AdSense code. Notice that you can cut and paste the code onto your own page and start serving up Google ads against my account. Not so bad, you think, you could have other people helping you earn money. Until one of them decides it would be amusing to put the ad block on a site that violates the Google AdSense terms of service.
