I know that they were trying to cut down on the fraudulent clicks but its kind of hard for anyone to earn revenue from AdSense ever since they modified their publishing of the ad’s and changing what parts of the ad could be clicked.

Maybe this is better for those AdWords advertisers…

Wow, this is good news. I just started up a new blog about music — primarily punk and underground — and got targeted by some bible thumpers who put ads on my site to uh, bring my readers to Jesus.

Not cool. As you can imagine, I was not a happy camper. Glad I found out how to filter their URL. But this will be better.

It could be a good think but always additional work for everyone so i dont think its that great move by Adsense.

It’s going to be a great feature. Though I don’t mind showing competitor’s ads on my site as I want every visitor to freely see and choose whatever service is available on the net.

It would be even better if they told you the price range of each advertiser, but for obvious reasons, I guess thats never going to happen:0

It might depend on ad selection choices and adsense’s system for implementation. Maybe site owners with adsense could all end up choosing similar ads from a given advertiser (if some ads/products/advertisers become popular). Possibly then, their could be too many similar adsense ads in web sites for given topics.

I suppose it’s a start to get a view and choice of advertisers and their categories that are signed up with adsense. But many it seems, want to sell via adsense, blog about it, and optimize adsense (like me) and so on. But what avenues or systems are available to the actual purchaser’s (or potential purchaser’s) that buy through adsense – that could benefit us as adsense site owners?

I have to agree, this is a great move from the AdSense team. I don’t think you will need to review and approve them but rather it gives you the option to review and reject certain ads which will be great for content sensitive sites and getting rid of competitors.

Adsense moves forward again.

This is good news and should be very useful.

Being a small blog, I wonder if I actually have any targeted ads :o)

Darren 2 Quick questions:

Text versus Images versus Video Units… and GoogleBot visits

1. Do you think this update allow you to use images/video units more effectively?
(updating
http://www.problogger.net/archives/2007/10/09/adsense-launch-video-units/)

2 have you any numbers you can share on googlebot visits?

Last Friday (7th December) we started doing this thing on our site and I am looking to get some kind of perspective.

Basically we have developed a script that automatically pulls in YouTube videos that match our topic

The SEO we get on the pages we create is scarily good… out ranking YouTube in some instances (?!?)

I noticed that the googlebot visits shot up over the weekend from around 100 visits a day to over 250

On the 11th – 416
On the 12th – 381

This morning – Dec 13th – it’s already 722 and there’s ten hours to go

On another forum I was told not to worry about it – more visits is good…

Can you confirm this

Thanks

TomC

gr8 feature.
I agree we can t possibly review all but the idea of giving control to the publisher is very liberating.

not sure about that Scott. I just think it’s not practical for them to tell you every ad that is appearing on you blog contextually. There must be potentially thousands of them. I know that I don’t have time to review them all.

“It only allows you to see what ads are being specifically targeted to your blog (ie not normal contextual ads)”

i.e. this feature isn’t for the long tail.
