- snapya, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Dude Ad-block is not cool! How are the people who make/run/manage web sites ment to cover the costs of running the site? Please tell me!
How would a site like digg survive without ads? The servers behind it and they bandwidth they use costs MONEY! Also the programers are not working for free.
Also google ads are not that bad to look at they are mainly only text links. Also they are high paying for publishers and effective for advertisers. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7How about they increase the block list from 200 to something more like 400. There's lots of made-for-adsense sites that are ruining adsense.
- Voodoo888, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I think they should increase it to 2000!
- isewise, on 10/12/2007, -9/+14Will it make it easier for ad-block to block it?
- troublemaker, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I don't block google ads, basically because they're not that annoying, and because I like the idea of supporting the site owner with an occasional clicky-clicky.
All the others ("smack the monkey", "click here to claim your prize", "your pc clock may be wrong!") are blocked. - HMTKSteve, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4This is just an attempt by Google to become the chief middle-man for web ads on your site. It is designed for those who click the "advertise on this site" link at the bottom of the Google Ads.
You need to ask yourself, do you want Google to handle all of your advertising or do you want to handle it on your own and use AdSense as an additional revenue stream?
To me, I would rather have an advertiser say to me, "Here's $500, how long can you place my banner adv on your site for this amount of money?" - accesory, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4yea, they have seen some serious improvement over the past few years. They better though, Adsense is insanely popular and Google has a lot riding on keeping it that way....
- Voodoo888, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5The title of the Digg says "Google Introduces Ad Placement For AdSense" and that's what they did - introduced it. However, it would be nice if there was a hint on when this will be available to everyone.
- AudioMove, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Seems like a good idea. So do you now choose what adds you wish to have on your site or at least what adds from a specific category. So for instance if you were a technology site, you would only have technology ads and not something completly different?
- zoom1928, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2HMTKSteve, you're correct about seeing it as an additional stream. If AdSense is your only stream, you're going to go broke very quickly. With our site with over 400,000 impressions per week we earn less than $3 average per week:

With the pitiful amount AdSense pays, I don't understand why there's so much talk about such an ineffective way of making money. - HMTKSteve, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2That would be a nice feature.
Nothing bugs me more than having a popular post surrounded by advertising links that have nothing to do with the content of the post.
If I'm reading an article about iPods I'm not likely to click on a "get a free laptop" advertisement... - Shockerusa, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1zoom, whats the url for that site, you mentioned?
- geronimo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Interesting that it's publisher-specific. I've seen this done but publishers had to conform to a certain format ie top middle bottom, etc.
- kenvsryu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1don't ever put adsense on a psp site!
- affiliate, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1hmmm did sombody say adbrite?
- osbjmg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Even better is the refinance your house ones that ALWAYS have a link to every one of the 50 US States. Just out of curiosity, I always click on that link when I see it - just to make them pay for having such a stupid ad. The ad is stupid because 100% of them have animations for each state and when you click on it, the FIRST question they ask you is what state you are in. Come again?
- vadskaer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0What's the reason for never putting adsense on a psp site? I assume "psp site" refers to a site about PlayStation Portable, right?
- netdroid9, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Google is in the process of introducing it. They never said it had been introduced already.
- tylercrowley, on 10/12/2007, -7/+5COUGH!! read the fine print ---
"We’re excited to let you know that your account is ONE OF A SELECT FEW for which we’ve enabled a new feature called ad placements."
whoopie damn doo! a few select sites get this new feature, the title should reflect this factual oversight... or risk being marked inaccurate. - corevette, on 10/12/2007, -7/+3i'd like to see this in action on a webpage. is it floating? or is it fixed on the page?
