You've been asking a lot of fundamental adsense related questions - have you seen wolf-howl.com or digitalpoint.com's forums or seobook.com?
- amichail 19y agoIf a user does not specify targeting keywords, then it could revert to content-based targeting. Giving a user control over what advertising he/she will see might make him/her more interested in those ads.
- rrival 19y agoDo you like ads? Do you click on ads? Do you pay attention to ads?
- amichail 19y agoIf they were more accurately targeted, I might be more interested in checking them out.
- rrival 19y agoWhy don't you click on ads? Why don't you like ads?
- amichail 19y agoI don't like ads in their current form. However, I can't say I will never like ads in any form. I suspect that most people don't care for ads because they are not really relevant.
- rrival 19y agoDid you notice the huge CTR rate drop when Google changed the clickable area from the entire ad unit to just the link?
- amichail 19y agoDo you have a reference that this is the cause? In any case, the future of ads is seamless integration with a site so that you have no idea it's an ad at all before you click it.

A large % of the traffic to adsense was accidental clicking, a large amount of effort was expended on tricking users into accidently clicking on those links by making them look like they were same-site links. Of course that became a TOS violation. On a CPM basis I can see some value in having a brand associated with a flash game, or having websites sponsored by something. I think you're trying to build a faster horse. Sites that turn margins and backgrounds into advertising, which exist, are more likely to gain traction than another "pin the tail on the donkey" "click here to shoot the monkey" flash/js ad. Of course this would be far better addressed by someone from AdPinion.com as their entire business model appears to rely on giving people the ability to view more relevant ads.
