Oh how I love it that Google listens to their audience of publishers! Google has announced that it will now be opening up it’s Adsense network to 3rd party advertisers!
What does this mean? Quite simply, 3rd party advertisers will now be able to bid on advertising space on your website – In other words, where you place your Adsense code, 3rd parties will be able to display their adverts there – booyah!
Who are these ad networks? They’re ad agencies and companies that partner with advertisers and publishers to buy and sell ads on sites they don’t own themselves (much like AdSense). You’ll now be able to allow advertisers from these networks to compete with AdWords advertisers for your ad space. All reporting and payments will still run through AdSense as they always have, and the available ad formats will be the same as those offered for AdWords ads.
And get this,
“We take the quality of ads delivered to your site seriously, so we’ll be certifying all participating ad networks for adherence to our standards for user privacy, ad quality, and speed. You’ll have control over which networks can show ads on your pages — you can choose to opt out of receiving ads from specific networks, or all networks completely. This means you can continue to show ads from only AdWords advertisers if you like.”
That’s awesome. In fact, this is something I suggested to AdGator many months ago, I wish they would do the same!

Hey Chris
I am interested in this “adsense” money making concept, but i do not want to be one of the rats falling for the cheese. Im trying to get out of the ratrace as soon as possible.
