It's almost impossible for google to be able to monetize it Can you illustrate how the google ads won't work on Google News?

  I don’t think the grandparent was talking about technical reasons. Publishers are miffed as is, it’s hard to imagine their wailing if Google tried to make money with News.

    Even I wasn't talking about technical reasons. Well there is the point that publishers would be miffed if Google tries to monetize it. But can't they work out an agreement which shares the profit. If they get a click while someone is reading your page, you get some share. Just like Google Adsense. (of course the publishers would want much greater share) Why can't that be done?

      I think there are reasons Google doesn’t want to do just that. They would essentially start paying for certain search results via revenue sharing. I don’t think Google wants to head down that way.
