Google Tests Branded AdSense Program

By Nate Mook | Published June 8, 2006, 1:45 PM

In an effort to further expand the number of sites running its advertising as part of the AdSense program, Google is beta testing a new feature that will enable companies to establish their own branded AdSense offering. Customers will be able to sign up for and manage AdSense without visiting Google.

The AdSense API is targeted at Web hosting, Web publishing, social networking and blogging sites that have 100,000 or more daily pageviews. End users will be able to join AdSense and implement it on their pages, and the overall site will receive a cut of all revenues. Interested developers can find out more on the Google Code Blog.

Ah well as long as it doesn't induce a seizure like some of these flash based ads do, and its targeted. All I know is that Google is helping to really provide some innovation in the industry and we need that to keep competitive.
