Open Source Adsense

It seems that currently Internet advertising is moving into a new phase, called content sensitive advertising. Google is the main contender in this field with its Adsense and Adwords.

In another unrelated area of the net, Open Source is growing very fast, and in the 3rd corner is Peer 2 Peer software (or shared computing).

What makes Adsense work so well is the amount of people that use it, and the Google name behind it makes it better.

Think what would happen if a lot of small websites were to offer services like Adsense... They would not work. But if they were to join in collaboration, developing open source Adsense like software, they could be a step better.

To really compete, the little players need to work together have the advertising network built over p2p so all the players work in collaboration. The network could be built on trust. So you trust your advertising partners, and they trust theirs etc. etc.

If any one wants to grab this idea and start running, I will gladly be a part of it (not that this is a requirement). The only reason that I am submitting this idea, is that without the power of open source, little me can not compete with the Google giant.

How AdSense Works

• The webmaster inserts the AdSense JavaScript code into a webpage.
• Each time this page is visited, the JavaScript code creates an IFrame with a src attribute set to the page's URL.
• For contextual advertisements, Google's servers use a cache of the page to determine a set of high-value keywords. If keywords have been cached already, advertisements are served for those keywords based on the AdWords bidding system. (More details are described in the AdSense patent.)
• For site-targeted advertisements, the advertiser chooses the page(s) on which to display advertisements, and pays based on cost per mille (CPM), or the price advertisers choose to pay for every thousand advertisements displayed.[9] [10]
• For referrals, Google adds money to the advertiser's account when visitors either download the referred software or subscribe to the referred service.[11] The referral program will be retired in August 2008.[12]
• Search advertisements are added to the list of results after the visitor performs a search.
• Because the JavaScript is sent to the Web browser when the page is requested, it is possible for other website owners to copy the JavaScript code into their own webpages. To protect against this type of fraud, AdSense customers can specify the pages on which advertisements should be shown. AdSense then ignores clicks from pages other than those specified.
