There is a realistic do-nothing option. After all, growth may gradually revive. I have lived through enough cycles to expect the unexpected and to have a deep-seated mistrust of the current conventional wisdom.
Things may yet turn out much better than any of us – including the recently established Office for Budget Responsibility, not yet distinguished in its forecasting record – can imagine.
I have made much of the prospects for commodity, above all oil, prices to fall. If this happens, then real incomes will rise and consumers should spend more. Over and above this, there is a hope that private investment expenditure will revive. Most big companies have strong balance sheets. At the very least, plant, machinery and buildings will eventually need to be renewed.
Moreover, one way or another, surely the euro crisis will soon be sorted out. My own view is that our best hope is for the euro to break up. After a chaotic interval, I reckon that this would boost European growth prospects. I admit, though, that eurozone governments may finally deliver the "big bazooka". But that would also bring some temporary relief for us. Almost anything would be better than the present situation.
Suppose, though, that in a year's time the economy is contracting again. What then? It is absurd to claim that there is no alternative. There are always alternatives. One possibility would be to cut government spending and the deficit still more. This is an option all right – the suicide option. Not only would it not deliver prosperity, but it wouldn't even be bound to deliver lower deficits.
On the completely opposite tack, we could relax the squeeze and abandon the Osborne fiscal targets so recently conjured out of thin air. Yet, even though not ideal, to abandon them lightly now would risk a loss of confidence in the markets.
Even so, that does not necessarily mean that we should do nothing. Tony Blair carried his parliamentary majority around like a Ming vase, protecting his political capital at all costs, and in the process achieved next to nothing with it.
The same could be said of this Government with our international credit standing. The alternative is to do something with it, to take a calculated risk; for example by launching a programme of public investment funded by – yes – more government borrowing.
As it is, the Chancellor admits that over the next five years borrowing will be £111bn more than he said as recently as March – and still the roof has not fallen in. On the contrary, the markets are even more in love with gilts.
The need for infrastructure investment is palpable. There is a good chance that a properly constructed and limited programme of public investment would be well received by the markets. The clever thing would be to combine this with new private money to fund infrastructure projects. The Autumn Statement took some useful steps in this direction.
Or, without changing the targets for the deficit, you could increase current spending, funded by tax increases. This could be expected to boost aggregate demand if you believe in the balanced budget multiplier. (I don't.) Or you could do the opposite and use further cuts to current spending to fund reductions in taxes, especially on employment. This could help if you believe in the power of incentives. (I do.)
And, what's more, rather than urging more austerity globally and a deflationary fiscal union on European partners, the Coalition could return to the Brownite position of trying to get selected other countries, particularly the surplus ones, to launch spending boosts of their own.
Another option is to rely more on monetary policy. Double the amount of quantitative easing, or treble it. Or more. Do whatever is necessary. Or, related to that, try to encourage the pound lower. I know that the weaker pound does not appear to have worked yet – but neither has anything else.
And just as the advocates of QE or fiscal expansion can claim that the error is not in the principle but in the amount, so the advocates of a lower pound can claim that the exchange rate simply hasn't fallen far enough.
Lastly, I come to the suggestion that I made some time ago which elicited plaudits from many Telegraph readers and brickbats from all the usual suspects outside the usual readership: suspend the overseas aid budget and spend the money on the poor at home. This would add about 0.5pc to UK GDP immediately, rising to 0.7pc later.
Otherwise, as I said at the beginning, there is always the hope and pray option.

News Investment
News Investment
|By the Project for Excellence in Journalism
In television news divisions, most of the investment in 2006 seemed to be on non-news expenditures, such as marketing costs, set overhauling and converting studios to high-definition. At CBS, for instance, at least $10 million was spent promoting the new evening news anchor, Katie Couric. There was very little evidence in 2006 that the networks were allocating more dollars for actual newsgathering operations. NBC, indeed, announced a reduction of roughly 5 percent of the network's news division as part of a management strategy to remedy the ongoing struggles of the broadcast segment.
The one content area that suggested growth was the Web. While it is hard to quantify the level of investment in the different network news Web sites, each site now appears to be offering particular online features. That has helped them distinguish themselves not only from other online news sites, but also from each other.
Changes at NBC News
Perhaps the biggest announcement concerning news investment levels came from NBC. In late October, Zucker announced the network was restructuring its management plan branded NBCU 2.0, with its budget and job cuts. (For the financial background of NBC's restructuring plan, see the Ownership section). The result was as many as 300 fewer bodies in the NBC and MSNBC newsrooms to produce such shows as Today, Nightly News and Meet the Press, all perennial leaders in their respective dayparts, according to data from Nielsen.1
NBC said it expected to cut positions in the newsroom largely through attrition, buyouts and layoffs, with just a few on-air layoffs. Broadcasting & Cable reported that companywide, most cuts were expected to be in "backroom operations, especially jobs duplicated in several divisions, including satellite operations, graphics, and booking."2 In November, the first round of layoffs was announced, with at least 18 employees losing jobs, mostly at Dateline NBC, the New York Times reported.3 Cuts at Today and Nightly News were more marginal, the Times said, and appeared to be mostly junior-level people.
Initially, industry analysts speculated that the lion's share of the losses would come from MSNBC, the cable sibling. In October, for instance, Variety magazine reported that as MSNBC was merged into 30 Rock, "insiders expect consolidation of production staffs, meaning probably layoffs of bookers, cameramen and producers."4 But as of early December, no layoffs at the cable network had been officially announced.
There was also talk that the network might merge some of its existing domestic bureaus with its local stations to cut costs and improve efficiency. Industry analysts offered arguments both for and against trimming newsroom staffing levels. When a congressional page linked to the scandal involving the Florida Congressman Mark Foley was interviewed by the FBI, the network sent producers from Today, Nightly News, Dateline, and MSNBC, according to Variety's Michael Learmonth, and that was considered an unnecessary overlapping.5
Others, however, contended that consolidating the staff would result in unwanted homogenization of the different news programs that are aired across the network. And still others worried about the quality of news coverage. "Of course it will affect the integrity of the news," said Bill McLaughlin, a former correspondent for CBS and NBC. "NBC is already cut to the bone. The cuts will be painful. They will weaken NBC."6
Such debate is hardly new. The networks have been steadily cutting back for two decades now. The debate rages precisely because there is merit to all three points of view.
The new age and new competition require change, and redundant operations are an obvious first place to look for savings. They will also lead to homogenization, and stretching people thinner also hurts quality. The biggest danger for NBC is probably in discounting any one of those concerns. They point to the degree to which the cuts are inevitable, and to the fact that they must be executed with care. They also, of course, point to a bigger dilemma. Calling all this NBCU 2.0 invokes the spirit of the digital age, where 2.0 means a new incarnation or upgrade. But for now it is not clear how much of what NBC is doing involves a digital push, or a redirecting of existing staff to digital operations, or just cutting. That will become clearer in 2007.
Not all the news coming out of NBC on newsroom investment in 2006 involved cuts, however. Since late November 2005, when Steve Capus became president of the news division, NBC has opened three new foreign bureaus, in Beirut, Bangkok and Beijing. Commenting on the decision to open the Beirut bureau in late May 2006, Capus said: "This is a real commitment of resources during an extremely important point in time, especially in that unique part of the world."7
But insiders at NBC say the reality is more complicated. They tell PEJ privately that NBC has not increased the number of correspondents involved. Beirut will be home base for a correspondent already based in the Middle East. Bangkok got NBC's Hong Kong correspondent, and Hong Kong no longer has one. Beijing, where there already was a bureau, will get its first resident correspondent, but Moscow has lost its sole correspondent.
Nonetheless, these insiders find it noteworthy that Asia will now have two resident correspondents.
Staffing and Workload
When audiences began to drop sharply in the 1980s with the emergence of cable, network news divisions repeatedly cut staff when revenues and profits declined. With the rise of the Internet in the late 1990s, the trend toward fewer bodies and a heavier workload appears only to have continued.
To quantify these trends, Joe Foote at Arizona State University counted how many different correspondents appeared on the network news programs over 20 years. According to the data, the number fell by more than a third (34.8%) from its peak in 1985, dropping from 76.7 to 50 in 2002.
At the same time there were fewer correspondents on the air, the ones who were left appeared to be working more. Foote's research shows that in 1985, reporters appearing in evening newscasts performed an average of 31.4 stories a year. By 2002, that number had risen to 40.9, an increase of 30%. Foote ended his research in 2002, and similar data from the researcher Andrew Tyndall from 2002 on suggest that some of the cutting of on-air correspondents may have eased.
In 2006, there was also some indication that at least one network was starting to rely more heavily on its anchor to deliver the news. A study by Tyndall of Katie Couric's first six weeks on the air found that stories filed by correspondents accounted for 69% of all news, compared to 85% under her predecessor, Bob Schieffer.8
But the data on correspondents and airtime did nothing to account for what was happening to personnel behind the camera, a group that most people in network TV felt had suffered even larger cutbacks.
To try and asses this, PEJ examined the journalist staffing levels for the three networks, as they themselves reported them to the News Media Yellow Book, a quarterly publication the names of over 33,000 journalists at the leading news media organizations.9 According to that examination network news staff, including the number of on-air journalists, fell at all three networks from 2002 to 2006. And indeed, the off-air reductions were greater.
The analysis included staffing for all newscasts — morning, evening, news magazines, Sunday talk shows, and all other news division positions — and divided them into three categories. The first group consisted of all network news staff listed (including executives, producers, editors, researchers, correspondents, reporters, and anchors). The second group was a subset of just the production (off-air) staff. The third group was made up of just the on-air journalists — correspondents, reporters, anchors, and contributors.
Over all, according to the count, total staff size has declined 10% since 2002, the year Joe Foote concluded his research. Meanwhile, the number of producers dropped 12%. The number of on-air journalists fell 7%.
Across the networks, there were interesting differences. They were similar when it came to the overall declines of all staff or producers in particular. But when it came to on-air personnel, ABC had cut more, down 11% from 2002-2006. At CBS the decline was roughly half that, 6%, and NBC it was just 1%.
A word of caution about those figures: An inventory based on the self-reported Yellow Book personnel listings is hardly official. People who contribute to the network news programs may be housed in another department owned by the same parent company, as may be case with NBC's pooling resources with MSNBC. Also, personnel could be moved to other operations not listed in the book, including from TV to Web.
But the exercise has some value. The networks themselves do not release personnel data on a regular basis. And this analysis augments and updates the work of researchers like Foote and Tyndall who have counted on-air correspondents who appear in stories but cannot account for the many technicians, video tape editors, photo-journalists, producers and assistants who make up so much of television news.
Coverage from Abroad
Another way to measure the level of newsroom investment is to evaluate how much coverage is devoted to events from abroad.
As we have outlined in previous reports, the number of overseas bureaus has been reduced by roughly half since the an all-time high in the 1980s, during the Cold War.
There is some debate about how much the number of bureaus influences the quality or even quantity of network television's international coverage. Some argue that technology has rendered some fully staffed bureaus unnecessary. Others counter that there is no substitute for living in the region to understand the context in which events unfold.
Does the decline in bureaus translate into a decline in foreign coverage? The Tyndall Report uses three different methods to track network coverage about events abroad. The first records the time each network devotes to stories filed by reporters with a foreign dateline. By that measure, network news in 2006 had just slightly more than half (54%) as many foreign stories as it did in the late 1980s — tracking almost exactly with the decline in the number of bureaus.
Tyndall's research shows that network foreign reportage reached a peak in 1989 — the end of the Cold War — and then declined until 2001. It began to rebound after September 11, but at levels only barely over half of what they were in the late 1980s.

Tyndall also measures the amount of time devoted to stories that addressed the foreign policy of the U.S. filed either from the U.S. or overseas. By that measure, foreign-policy coverage has actually dropped since 2003 after the invasion of Iraq. It fell 41% in 2004 alone. Such coverage rose in 2006, but only marginally (4%). Yet even that number, an average of about 3 minutes per newscast per night, was still down 40% from 2003.10
The pattern of high coverage during followed quickly by a falling-off is not unusual. According to Tyndall's analysis, the amount of coverage of U.S. foreign policy was heavy in 1990 and 1991, during the Gulf War, but subsequently plunged in the mid-1990s. Coverage soared again in late 2001, and particularly in 2003 when the Iraq War began.
There are several explanations for the drop in coverage since 2003. The war has become a fact of daily life rather than a sudden news event. What's more, anecdotal evidence suggests that the lion's share of reporters had left Iraq by the fall of 2003, and that number has continued to fall in the years since.11 There are also financial considerations in keeping a TV news crew in Iraq.12 And reporting has become increasingly dangerous in there. As of early February 2007, the number of journalists killed in Iraq since the conflict began stood at 93.13

Finally, Tyndall tracks how much time is given to international stories in which American foreign policy is not the central focus. By that measure, coverage of international events has grown some. After falling from 2003 to 2004, it increased 17% in 2005, and then was up slightly in 2006 (1%). The bump last year, according to Tyndall, can largely be attributed to the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah in the summer.

For PBS, the nonprofit public broadcasting television operation, investment decisions are not on the amount of ad dollars or subscriber fees but on fund-raising and federal grants. Roughly 13% of its funding comes from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) and other federal grants, but as the New York Times reported, Congress has "long pressured the company to be more entrepreneurial in finding additional sources of funding."14
But as David Sit, vice president of operations and technology at the NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, told PEJ, PBS does not always meet its fund-raising targets . Indeed, financial reports from the CPB show that overall revenues for public broadcasting increased less than 1% from fiscal year 2004 to fiscal year 2005, considerably less than the annual rate of inflation in the U.S. over that span. The data also show that funding from the CPB now accounts for a higher percentage of the overall budget than it has since 1995, outpacing other revenue streams, most notably private donations.15
Nevertheless, the NewsHour is increasing its investment in a few key areas over the next year. First, it has earmarked $600,000 over two years to produce more overseas coverage, Sit told PEJ in early December. In the past, international coverage had been sporadic. So far, the news program has sent correspondents to Iran and Turkey. At the same time as the commercial broadcasts and newspapers have reduced their overseas bureaus, the NewsHour, and National Public Radio, have been increasing their coverage from abroad.
"While most commercial news organizations, especially those in television, have responded to economic pressure by cutting back on their international reporting," David Sit of NewsHour told PEJ in February 2007, "the NewsHour made a concerted effort a year ago to seek separate foundation funding to send our correspondents to not only the world's hot spots, but also to places in the under-developed world that do not get the attention they merit."
The NewsHour also augmented the size of its news staff in 2006. With the return of Judy Woodruff to the broadcast on February 5, the NewsHour now has five full-time senior correspondents. The others are Jeffrey Brown, Gwen Ifill, Ray Suarez and Margaret Warner, according to a spokesman from the NewsHour.16 The news program also told PEJ it would increase the number of Web site staff people by a third, from 9 to 12.17
And finally, the NewsHour plans to be fully high-definition by the fall of 2007, as is the case with much of the commercial networks' news programming. A technology that was first introduced in the U.S. back in the early 1990s, high-definition television is broadcast digitally and generates a considerably higher resolution than older television formats.

America's 'forgotten war' commemorated
WASHINGTON — The Korean War, often called America's forgotten war, was commemorated Saturday with a solemn ceremony in Washington to mark the 60th anniversary of the armistice that ended combat.
President Obama laid a wreath at the Korean War Veterans Memorial and told a crowd of about 5,000 on the National Mall, "Here in America, no war should ever be forgotten, and no veteran should ever be overlooked."
Veterans of the war, including some in their uniforms, were among those in attendance, along with South Korean officials.
"That war was no tie. Korea was a victory," Obama said, noting South Koreans live in freedom and enjoy a dynamic economy, "in stark contrast to the repression and poverty" of North Korea.
Speaking before a "Heroes Remembered" banner, Obama said the commitment to South Korea will "never waver."
An effort is under way in Congress to erect a wall at the memorial — similar to the famous wall at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial — to call greater attention to the Korean War.

Four candidates running for seats on the Killeen Independent School District Board of Trustees met Monday afternoon for a candidate forum in Killeen.
Sponsored by the Exchange Club of Killeen, the forum included incumbent members Shelley Wells and Susan Jones, and their challengers, Lan Carter and John Gilmore.
The candidates spoke briefly on their qualifications and answered questions from attendees and the media.
Topics included the district's budget priorities, funding and teacher longevity stipends. The candidates also answered questions about their stance on a possible $330,000 expenditure to build two locker room additions to the Fort Hood Stadium Complex.
Both Carter and Gilmore expressed doubts about whether they would support the expenditure. Wells and Jones indicated they were in favor of the project.
Gilmore, who is running against Jones for the board's Place 2 seat, said he supported the partnership with Fort Hood, but disagreed with spending money on the facility in a "piecemeal" fashion.
"I think at this point, without seeing a plan of where we are going to go in the future, or a long-term plan for athletic facilities, I don't think I'd be in favor of spending the $300,000," he said.
Carter, who is running against Wells for Place 1 on the board, said the money could be put to better use toward academic resources.
"I just can't see that I'd be for it," Carter said.
Jones said the district's use of the stadium meant students would not have to attend games on Thursday nights, which often means they get home past midnight on a school night. She also said the money for the project comes out of KISD's strategic fund for federal Impact Aid, which provides money for construction, renovation and maintenance of facilities.
"That is where the money is coming from," Jones said. "It would not be coming out of our allocated money for teachers in the classrooms or anything of that nature."
Wells, who currently serves as board president, praised Killeen ISD Superintendent Robert Muller, who authorized a comprehensive review of all the district's facilities.
"It's not just my decision; it's the board decision along with the superintendent's recommendation," Wells said.
Both Wells and Jones also noted the issue of whether to spend the money on the additions may be a moot point, as the district must negotiate a lease with Fort Hood before the board can vote to approve the project.
Currently, the district operates under a memorandum of understanding with Fort Hood to use the 5,500-seat, $13.5 million facility for games.
The Texas Education Code states that school districts cannot spend funds for renovation of improvements to property they do not own or lease.
"I'm not sure we can get this done by the time that we play football in the fall," Wells said. "So I'm not sure that it's going to become an issue because of time restraints."
Early voting for the school board runs through May 7. The election is May 11.

Unlike the exising content targed ads you do not need 20 million visitors to put these ads on your site.

Given that I wonder what the attitude of other search engines will be to indexing pages that include an ad for Adwords, which basically the "Ads from Google" link is? There are a few search engines that would say that as direct competition, including ATW and AV (Overture properties) and some as less direct competition (MSN etc).
Well, those other search engines list pages from About.com, which owns Sprinks and displays Sprinks PPC listings on every page of its "guidesites."
If a search engine were to exclude pages that displayed ads served by competitors, the search engine wouldn't stay in business very long.
loanuniverse, i tried to have googel code directly into my site and it did not make the targeting any better. wheather run on tribalfusion/fastclick or dirctly form my site it shows the same ads.
Those are pretty good news :)!
If AdSense can give semi targeted results even without the page beeing cached, the "battle" is half won.
So if I upload a new page (with AdSense code on it), and some visitors visit it, it will trigger the bot to come to that page and crawl it? That�s a lot better than waiting a month or two.
That would be wonderful news!
2 things for the price of 1 :)
The only thing better than this, would be if we could add a custom parameter to the adsense code, to help the bot in case it didn�t understand the theme/subject of the page. And if Google wanted, this parameter would only be read in this case, when the bot can�t find enough data.
Best Regards,
1. Google is a search engine itself with major exposure, unlike dedicated adservers which are far more transparent. About is a content portal but I don't think Sprinks is much to worry about given its size.
2. There are really only 2 major players - Adwords and Overture as far as text PPC is concerned though there are many "second rungers"
I think it is unlikely for other engines to drop sites or pages, but there are many shades of grey when it comes to ranking "penalties".
I see this AdSense as the greatest marketing and advertising program ever to come about. Especially at the time when others like Yahoo, Alltheweb, and MSN are trying to come into play and take the market from Google.
Now Google will have possibly millions of websites advertising and showing the relevance of the search they can provide. No matter what ISP or Search engine the user is currently used to, Google will be seen and probably clicked on. As popular as Google is there are millions of people who have MSN and other ISP's who would never be aware of other options available to them as far as search portals.
They will not be able to escape the name Google. It will be seen everywhere. As long as Google gives a fair share for site owners to promote them, they will remain on top. The greatest thing Google is doing is not paying a penny for all the advertisements. They have created a new market where they can bring in more revenue and share with others the money that would have never been generated otherwise. Therefore they have free advertisements and even get paid to advertise.
Just my humble opinion...
Given that I wonder what the attitude of other search engines will be to indexing pages that include an ad for Adwords, which basically the "Ads from Google" link is? There are a few search engines that would see that as direct competition, including ATW and AV (Overture properties) and some as less direct competition (MSN etc)You know, this would have meant nothing to me a couple of months ago, but lately MSN is the source of 33% of the search engine traffic to my site, with probably an additional 10% coming from non-google related sources. It used to be that 85% of the search engine traffic was google related (google, yahoo, aol search).
I wonder if there would be some retaliation.......
so google does not allow us to run their code as default with other ad management software, service?
Hopefully GoogleGuy can answer that one. There was definitely a distinction between when I ran ads through Burst (only 2 ads in a skyscraper;only semi-relevant;the same 2 ads on two completely different content sites); and when I ran them direct from the site (very precisely targetted to each of the two sites)
As I said I couldn't see any TOS about this, but someone else mentioned reading this earlier, and the above experience seems to suggest that's what's happening.
1..I personally love Adsense program,I still couldn't figure out how exactly if Tax Id issues works for International clients ,I am from India hence as such wouldn't be having any tax Id of US.Is there any other thing I can supply of Indian Tax system for the same.?
2.How do you like to pay international audience,like if the check crosses 100$, the postage might cost more for international postage,do you plan to charge extra for this?If so can we wait till the pay check reaches 500$ and then get couriered of the same.
Looking forward to hear from you, I would also like to welcome other forum members to contribute if they have any idea of the above questions.
With Regards

So if the check, say, costs $5 then in theory somebody coul request a check every $5 of $0 (cos they $5 would go in send fees) Google wouldn't care as they wouldn't loose anything, since their work is payed.
On the other end, huge sites oculd settle for a large 6monthly payout fo many 1000s s othat the pqyment fees would be negligible.
I have one suggestion.
I would like you to judge a site before it can display adwords based on the traffic if it's a site in highly competitive commerical industry.
If a site is highly trafficed and it's in the competitive commerical industry then it's good to have adwords, it serves the advertisers , web publishers and google alike.
But if a site contains content of highly commericial industry and it's less trafficed, there's highly probability of fraud happening.
Not that I am under-estimating google's fraud control department, just that this could keep of advertisers worries at bay.
If this is already taken care of when approving a site ,then do over look this suggestion.
With Regards

Take a a cruise-planning site that has an article a Caviar Cruise Lines Mediterranean cruise aboard the M/V SEVRUGA. Logic would suggest that a person clicking through on a travel agent's "Caviar Cruise Bookings" AdWord from that article would be a highly desirable lead, since he or she would already know the basics about Caviar Cruises (including the fact that Caviar Cruises is a luxury line with per diems in the US $800 range). In other words, that reader might be a better prospect than the person who's clicked on the Caviar Cruise Bookings AdWord from a Google search on "Caviar Cruises."
Still, there may be other pages or sites where a Caviar Cruise Bookings ad would have low conversion ratios: e.g., a Sunday newspaper travel section that appeals largely to a middle-class demographic,, where readers may not have any inkling that a cruise aboard the SEVRUGA costs $800 a day, or where readers may be looking for a cruise in the Caribbean (where Caviar doesn't operate). To some extent, the AdWord can prequalify leads by using words like "luxury" or "Mediterranean," but the travel agent buying AdWords for Caviar Cruise bookings might prefer to select the content sites where the AdWords will run: e.g., sites for sophisticated cruisers or for travelers to the Mediterranean.
If AdSense advertisers could include or exclude individual content sites, AdSense might have a better change of winning over advertisers who are willing to experiment with content sites but want some control over where their AdWords appear.
We are one of those adwords advertisers (we have a commercial site as well as info sites) who has turned of "content" sites as they had a significantly higher cost per click with no discernable better ROI. However now having the boot on the other foot, we sure LOVE all those high CPC clicks. It will be interesting to see how it all pans out seeing we are now seeing it from both sides of the pitch!
Just looking at my Adwords statistics gives a good indication of the potential revenues you'll earn from Google. Off the top of my head, context sensitive ads for one of my keywords had 2000 impressions last month, and cost me 8 cents per click: Count that: 2 clicks = 16 cents.
EuropeforVisitors - you may be right. There are a few good informational sites out there like yours which are good platforms for selling ads, but not enough I fear. And in any case, you should be selling that cruise for 25% commission - not 25 cents a click!
I think if Adsense survives, it will be on the margin, just powered by Google's huge following. But it won't be the money spinner that Adwords is. If it weren't for Google's name this project would be dead on the starting block.

We are one of those adwords advertisers (we have a commercial site as well as info sites) who has turned of "content" sites as they had a significantly higher cost per click with no discernable better ROI.
What were the content sites that AdWords ran on before AdSense came along? On another forum, the names that I saw mentioned were HowStuffWorks, Knight Ridder Digital, BURST! Media, Weather Underground, and Google Groups. It's pretty easy to understand why those sites might not generate good ROI:
- A person looking at a page on digital-camera technology at HowStuffWorks isn't likely to be as good a sales prospect as a person who's reading a review of the Canon PowerShot S50 at Steve's Digicams or DPReview.
- A person checking a forecast at Weather Underground isn't likely to be in the market for anything, unless he's trying to decide when to buy an umbrella or a snowblower.
- Forums (of which Google Groups would be an example) have never been known for being high-quality ad media. Even when big-name Web sites were charging high CPMs for editorial or search pages, forum and chat views were going for a relative pittance.
IMHO, those early Google "content site" partners weren't the best venues for highly targeted ads like AdWords, and that's why they performed poorly. With AdSense, "content site" AdWords should be on much more targeted pages and sites than they were in the pre-AdSense days. To use a hypothetical example, an AdWord for "20% Off Tumi Luggage" in a travel site's article on "packing for your honeymoon" could be very effective. It certainly should have a higher ROI than the same AdWord on a HowStuffWorks page about airline luggage-handling systems. :-)
Actually, it would be nice to be able to make 1-to-1 arrangements, where an advertiser and a content site decide they're a good match, but are happy to pay a trusted third-party (ie Google) to take care of tracking, fraud detection, payments, etc. That might be a relatively minor enhancement to AdWords/AdSense, that would open up a whole new range of options.
very good point europe. We will turn them on again in a few weeks to see if things have changed.
Weve been cautiously optimisitic on a revival for online advertising for niche content/info sites like ours for several months.
Google may well have given this a massive push.
Why? Because like adwords, they give smaller players an "in". Because traditional online ad networks still use "old advertising models" of volume (e.g. high minimum impression cut offs, sliding scales to give higher volume publishers more return per impression or click), they caused many irrelevant ads to appear in major sites, and people just stopped clicking during the dot com bust.
Now what Google has done with Adsense could well be a move as significant as when they first introduced fast, simple-interface, uncluttered and non-commercially influenced SERPS several years ago and wiped the opposition. Basically they are exploiting the nature of the web - (a vehicle for niching content) and letting small specialist web publishers/sites get in on the action, similar to the opportunity OV and Adwords gave to smaller advertisers to advertise even with very small advertising budgets.
I guess that only google though, with their massive reach of advertisers and publishers could do this, along with their continuing strategy to work with small publishers rther than build the massive exclusive monopolies and oligarchies that their competitors copied from the "old media" before online published started transforming the industry (Harry Potter excepted!)
The signs are there, albeit at an early stage, that Google may do to the on-line advertising industry what they did to the search industry - offer a killer "obvious" solution which changed the way other companies started using search.
Its also great to see all the content/info guys on WebmasterWorld posting away again, and that a lot of our work may start paying off.
And in any case, you should be selling that cruise for 25% commission - not 25 cents a click!
Look up the equivalent per click earnings you get from affiliate programs. Then compare that to how much the same merchant is prepared to pay per click at Google or Overture.
It is not uncommon to find merchants paying $1 a click at PPCSEs, yet affiliates find it hard to get more than a few cents per click from that merchant's affiliate program.
In such cases, AdSense makes more sense.
And it's one of the reasons why AdSense may spell bad news for all the ripoff aff progs out there.
I have a long history with affiliate programs. During the crazy dotcom boom, I was making as much as $11,000 each month in revenue from affiliate programs, largely by -- yes, I'm evil -- buying up terms on Overture. Back then, it was easy to buy popular terms for 1-10 cents, and quickly get 12-50 cents per click on average from affiliate programs.
The trick (formerly and currently)? Pick "rich" genres (dating, credit card, and -- though I didn't venture into this area -- porn, for instance). Measure ROI carefully and frequently. And create landing pages that offer impatient surfers a quick gateway to the 'real' programs BUT also more curious/skeptical surfers some actual content (e.g., reviews, tips) so that your page ends up providing some value.
Nowadays, of course, it's all different. Gone are the days of being able to buy most terms for popular programs at anything remotely near succesful 3rd party affiliate ROIs. And while I understandably miss the goofy fun income I enjoyed previously, I must say that I do think the change -- brought about by market forces, really -- is for the better.
Despite my joking about being "evil" earlier in this note, though, I don't think I was really a bad guy. I bought up terms like, 'apply for credit card' and actually created a landing page comparing various cards, their benefits, their terms, and so on... enabling people to make some informed choices that they couldn't get just by jumping straight to a single credit card company's site.
But anyway, while things HAVE settled down now, there are still many instances in which "honest" affiliate programs (and their affiliates) still make sense. I plan on creating a content-rich section of detailed online music service reviews. In that case, I'm probably going to make more from pressplay / rhapsody affiliate income than I would from AdWords while still providing an honest service to my visitors.
The dating pages on my site also still continue to bring in more click-thrus and per-click profits than AdWords for me.
But, boy, I can tell you... I'm this close to dumping Amazon.com. My income from that company has consistently been under 5 cents per click. I'd probably get more money by replacing all those links and banners with "Please donate $1 to my site". Or if I could just put AdWords on both the left AND right panels of my pages... :D
So, in a (long) nutshell:
some affiliate programs < AdSense < other affiliate programs
One of the coolest aspects of AdSense, though? I agree with Max^3: this is really going to put some pressure on less-reputable affiliate programs :)
for me this doesn't look like an attractive business case.
do the calculation with lower assumptions and it looks even worse.
ps. in case this was said before - sorry! didn't read through all pages, could'nt find anything through site search though.
for the moment its probably mostly meant for covering hosting costs - unless you deal with some niche areas.
You can argue your numbers - for example Overture numbers in this thread:
are $0.35 to $0.36, yet Google may still be lagging behind on average.
but even then its no home-run.
(long time no hear by the way ;))
>>average CPC: estimated 0.1 $ (high estimation, isn't it?)<<
>>average click rate: 1% (taking an extremly high estimation as google says adwords perform better than banners due to their contextual relevance)<<
are not applying in our case. Lets just say they are under-estimations.
I DO think that Google has a quite high minimum cut-off for CPC for ads to appear on Adsense content sites.
[edited by: chiyo at 1:03 pm (utc) on June 23, 2003]
Reality so far (as reported by others in this thread and observed by myself) appears to be less pessimistic than you are:
* An average CPC of 0.1$ is a low estimation.
* A click rate of 1% is a low estimation.
* A revenue share of 50% may be a realistic or again a low estimation.
I have very little data as of yet, but I'm guessing that I may get to the payout limit with 100'000 page views or less.
@ chiyo & bird:
do your examples fall into the above category?
but what about an average mom&pop website? eg. a website or discussion board not focused on anything commercial, a site commercially unspecific? any reports?
I see the design and philosophy of Adwords being highly targeted to niche sites and pages with plenty of static content and/or authority. I cant really see it working as well with say "commercial" sites (too many competitive issues) or for sites which attract lower income groups.
I dont think i would bother having Adsense on very broadly focused pages, on pages with lots of links, or pages that don't attract people with a good disposable income or are not thinking about buying anything at all (like some discussion boards or blogs or maybe news pages)
Choosing the pages on which to display Adsense i think Makessense.

10 animals getting around in wheelchairs
1. Lilly the Lionhead bunny
Lilly, who looks like a Scottish Terrier but is actually a rabbit, was born with a broken back which left her crippled until the North Texas Rabbit Sanctuary hooked her up with this set of wheels. Yay for her!
2. Chris P. Bacon the piglet
Chris was born without the use of his hind legs, but vet Dr. Len Lucero built him a wheelchair out of K'NEX pieces. Nice one!
(Laughing Squid)
3. Princess puppy
We don't know this puppy's name or story, but she sure looks like a princess in that outfit and the little throne with wheels.
(Animal Central)
4. Harry the miniature horse
Harry's handicapped legs, caused by "greedy dwarf breeders" according to the forum we found him on, got a second chance when Doggone Wheels made him this wheelchair.
5. Racing turtle
This little guy gets around with the help of an axel and a set of racing wheels stuck to the bottom of his shell. All the better to race hares with, we bet.
6. Rosie the deer
When Rosie was just six months old, a dog mistook her hind legs for a chew toy and really messed them up. Thankfully, Rosie now has a physical therapist, an acupuncturist and a wheelchair designed for dogs to help her get better. More than we can say!

More or less. You have to be careful not to delete any contextual information of identifiers. The difference between a syntax-object representing a symbol (also known as an identifier) and a symbol is that the identifier carries lexical information. If you simply convert it to a symbol and then back again with (syntax-object->datum stx 'bar), then the resulting identifier will get the lexical information from stx. This may or may not be what you want. Take a look at <http://schemecookbook.org/view/Cookbook/GettingStartedMacros> and in particular "Writing Hygenic Macros in Scheme with Syntax-Case" by Dybvig. -- Jens Axel Søgaard

Samantha McRae, 21, who has been an apprentice at AWE for more than three years, said: "I felt absolutely honoured to be invited to such an amazing event. I never thought I would be going to something like this.
"The AWE apprenticeship scheme has given me real-life skills and knowledge with the future of a great job.
"I realised that I hadn't done well enough in my AS Levels and wanted to do something that was hands-on. That's why I decided to apply for the AWE scheme.
"I wanted a job with a great career path and it ticked all the boxes for me. Now three-and-a-half-years on I couldn't be happier."
Claire Watson, AWE's head of learning and development, also attended the event and said: "AWE is very committed to supporting the development of the UK skills base in the area of STEM, in particular how we tap into the unrealized potential that women bring to STEM."
Female pupils from across the country were also invited to the event to hear from Samantha and other young women who have embarked on the apprenticeship career route.
Mr Clegg said: "National Apprenticeship Week gives us a good opportunity to celebrate the fantastic contribution apprentices make to our society.
"That is why I was pleased to host a reception to celebrate women in STEM and encourage more girls to look at apprenticeships in this area."

Thank you for the replies... Shepherd was my guess too.
I've seen a few posts like this so I thought I would give it a shot as well. This is Cooper, his mom is an AKC yellow lab. The owner's are unsure of the puppies dad. So I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas of what he is mixed with. I'm curious ...

MarketBeat calculates consensus ratings using the most recent rating from each brokerage that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Since brokers often use different ratings systems, each rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings. Each stock's consensus rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0-1.5 = Sell, 1.5-2.5 = Hold, 2.5-3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months.MarketBeat will no longer include ratings and price target data in its consensus calculation if a broker drops coverage and MarketBeat has received a report that coverage was dropped. Ratings from certain research firms that issue ratings using purely quantitative methods (such as Zacks, Vetr and ValuEngine) are not included in consensus calculations. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.Ratings Breakdown: 3 Sell Ratings, 8 Hold Ratings, 4 Buy RatingsConsensus Rating:Hold (Score: 2.07)Consensus Price Target: $42.14 (5.55% downside) Analysts' Ratings History for BorgWarner (NYSE:BWA) Show: Only the Most Recent Rating From Each Brokerage All Ratings For This Stock DateFirmActionRatingPrice TargetImpact on Share PriceDetails8/8/2017Deutsche Bank AGBoost Price TargetBuy$54.00 -> $55.00Low8/6/2017Barclays PLCSet Price TargetHold$46.00Low7/28/2017BMO Capital MarketsReiterated RatingOutperform$50.00 -> $55.00Low7/12/2017Royal Bank Of CanadaReiterated RatingHold$44.00Low7/4/2017Jefferies Group LLCReiterated RatingBuy$48.00Low6/22/2017CLSAInitiated CoverageHold$45.00Medium6/21/2017GuggenheimInitiated CoverageNeutral -> Neutral$45.00Low6/16/2017Bank of America CorporationReiterated RatingUnderperform$30.00 -> $27.00Low6/9/2017Morgan StanleyLower Price TargetUnderweight$34.00 -> $32.00Low1/4/2017Evercore ISIDowngradeBuy -> Hold$38.00 -> $42.00N/A12/19/2016Wells Fargo & CompanyDowngradeOutperform -> Market Perform$42.00N/A12/13/2016Northcoast ResearchDowngradeBuy -> NeutralN/A11/22/2016Berenberg BankInitiated CoverageSell$28.00N/A10/6/2016Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.
