Do you think AdSense ads on your blog are effective for users?

Of course there are two sides to it.

1- Are AdSense ads effective for webmasters

2-  Are AdSense ads Effective for Users

Forgetting the fact that I run AdSense ads on this blog, I find that not all the times do I find AdSense ads effective and contextual on websites that run it. There are exceptions of course, but having been in the industry for so long and being a monopoly, I’m expecting better results from Google.

And for the reasons why Google Ads are not contextual (sometimes), I can only think of the following.

- Lack of advertisers in each category.
- Sites being “non-open” and targeted that irrelevant ads throw up.
- High competency among advertisers that the highest bidder gets the best slots, even if they are on non-contextual content.
- The technology behind that decides what ads should be shown is obsolete and outdated.

But clearly, I can agree and understand AdBrite showing irrelevant ads, cos I know that there are only a few advertisers with them. But with AdSense ?

Do you think AdSense ads showing up on your website are relevant and useful for your users (that they won’t mind clicking them!) ?
