Interest-Based Ads : Adsense

Making ads more interesting

Till now Google Adsense was showing ads based your interest at that particular moment, which means relevant to the content of that site. Because the content you are reading is of your interest for that moment.

Suppose you search for "Digital camera" on Google Search, it will give ads related to digital cameras. And then you read some Gardening blog, it will give you ads related to Gardening and Home. Which ads are completely different from previous search ads. What if you are not completely satisfied with search results you got and still in your mind you might be thinking about "Digital Cameras", so it will more relevant and effective to provide ads about Digital Cameras on Gardning blog. And this what Interest-Based ads is, because a keyword or content of site doesn't provide enough information about users interest to provide highly relevant ads.

Interest-Based advertising is making online advertising even more relevant and useful by using additional information about the websites people visit. Google will gradually introduce "interest-based" advertising as a beta test initially only on partner sites and YouTube.
