[...] Another format is the “Change to ads about” format where you can change the ads shown. I had seen this on some of my sites and didn’t realise it! Update: It seems like this was an old format that had appeared before. [...]

I personally think that adsense is missing the boat, or missing a niche on the boat. It seems to defy traditional marketing methods. And I know that website owners and bloggers mainly use adsense as a source of income, rather than an opportunity. Maybe my marketing training from school doesnt apply to the internetwebosphere. But it seems to me that if your going to do ANY kind of advertising at all. Dont you want to have a relationship with your advertiser. Dont you want to survey your market (readers – in the case of bloggers) find out who they are and what they want. Rather than letting SEO and H1 header tricks and all the other mumbo jumbo, and finally google “award” you with ads. Ive read some place, maybe it was here, that there really isnt an infinite supply of keywords, and these words are going to get stupidly expensive. What then. huh.. In my simple little mind its always best to find out what a person is looking for then provide them with it. it just doesnt allow control from the user end of it, to properly target their market.I dont see that google adsense does this. For that reason I dont use google

just say one today on my site, and i really dont understand the reasoning behind it. if it works, good. but who wants to spend time looking for “other ads”, not me personally……unless i was looking for good ads to setup a adwords campaign….when is google going to let their publishers in on the secrets? like stats on rss, stats on other ads…..really googles the mind in how they ignore and treat their customers….

Customer who liked this ad also liked …

At the moment, advertisers display directly linke ads. But why stop there? With knowlegde about research behaviour, it only seems logical that advertisers like Google and Yahoo will take it to the next level: Customers who liked this ad also liked …

Yes, I’ve also started seing this on some of the blogs on the network – http://www.aboutweblogs.com/ – about a week ago. But, I haven’t seen it elsewhere yet. I did wonder if anyone would actually click on it and basically choose their own ads (like a “Choose Your Own Adventure” book — got some memories of this — hehehehe).
