Following on from an article on Techcrunch about encouraging first signs from Microsoft’s new ‘Adsense’ style advertising platform, I’ve been asked to write a guest article for TCUK about the experience of non US based web publishers in their attempts to monetize their sites through contextual advertising.
The questions I’ll be asking are…
- What experiences have non US based web publishers had with Google Adsense?
- What other platforms are out there and how do they compare?
- What are your feelings about Microsoft getting into this space?
- Has anyone outside the US had experience with Yahoo! Publisher Network?
- What would you like to see in the ‘perfect’ contextual advertising product?
- What would you like Google to change about theirs?
I’m interested in speaking, in confidence as appropriate, to any non US web publishers with an interest in this subject.

I work as a social media optimiser (none US) and my boss uses AdSense platform. The main thing is to get enough traffic and Google PR. Also keyword usage is advisable. And of course frequent updates and quality content will help you reach the goal.
