(oh… and people are amazing: congratulations, ideas, bug reports, patches, look & feel redesign…)

I have tried some other ad providers, like Chitika (ex-YahooAds) but the revenue was… 3€/month. Google is a monster.

In truth the real benefits from the project are strategic in nature (reputation, networking, tangible demonstration of skill, easy access to a web infrastructure I understand, SEO firepower for other projects). Google Adsense just helps me “live off the land”.

They were the fastest one to set up and seem to have a decent targeting mechanism. I may test an alternate provider later this summer. Their TOS does limit what I can do for ajax refreshes, which limits my impressions to a degree….
