Google AdSense begins rich media beta test – JenSense.com

27 January 2006 1,542 views Comments

JenSense.com says AdSense is going rich media.  What a shame, AdSense to me has always been the mercedes benz of advertising on the web.  They do everything with subtlety, providing content sensitive advertising without annoying the reader.

I think this is going start a new swarm of annoying ads.  I must tell you that my wife run’s a great site NewAgeStore.com and if it wasn’t for the AdSense ads we would not be in a position to afford the hosting.  However under no circumstances will I let a pop-up flash audible ad hit the site.

You see, even though AdSense pays some bills it’s not why we build sites.  We build sites to provide users with the things they need at the time they need them, it is a consequence of this that we get paid for the advertising.

Hey, all you plug-in developers out there, start building a way to block these ads now so we have something to install when they go live.

    The only thing i'm disappointed about with Google Adsense, is the way in which it determines the ads that are displayed on a site. Supposedly, it uses the content on the page to determine this, but, as i've seen many times, and just a few moments ago on Jen's NAS site, it doesn't always quite get it right. For example, on Jen's NAS forum, the Google Adsense ads at the bottom of the page were to sites about PHP and MySQL - totally irrelevant.

    It'd be good to be able to 'pre-set' the words Adsense uses to determine which advertisements are displayed. There was no way to configure this last time i logged into the Adsense site.

    My 2c. :-))
