Going Commercial

Blogs June 26th, 2003

Like many other bloggers, I’ve decided to give Google’s AdSense a test run.

I suppose I’m most interested in the type of Ads that get served on subsequent posts. Specifically, the context matching of content to Ads. So far it seems to be working well.

However, I do wish Google offered more flexibility with the style and sizes of the Ads.

    Hmm, so far I’ve found that Google’s Ad targeting is fairly accurate, which I think does add value to the blog.

    That’s interesting. It seems a lot of bloggers are getting denied participation in the Google AdSense programme; did you do anything special or is Google just inconsistent in accepting applications, I wonder…

    (I haven’t applied myself…)

    I asked Google to “test” my PostNuke site in order to display the AdSense adds, and Google told me that my site was not allowed to have the adds cause
