Google announces AdSense for Mobile – As part of our ongoing efforts to develop new ways for users to find the information they need anytime and anywhere, Google announced today the availability of AdSenseâ„¢ for Mobile, a program that contextually targets ads to mobile website content. AdSense for Mobile also allows AdSense publishing partners the ability to earn revenue from their mobile websites through the targeted placement of mobile text ads. With this program, advertisers can connect with the growing number of mobile publishers, ultimately providing users with an enhanced mobile experience that helps them find what they are looking for more quickly and efficiently on the go.
AdSense for Mobile is intended for AdSense partners who have created websites specifically for mobile browsers, and who want to monetize their mobile content via contextual advertising. Like Google’s other AdSense products, mobile text ads run on an auction model. The system automatically reviews the content of publishers’ mobile websites and delivers text ads that are relevant to the websites’ audience and content. Publishers earn money whenever mobile users click on the ads.
With this new program, the unmatched reach of the Google content network is extended to the mobile platform. AdSense for Mobile provides a valuable way to connect mobile users with the right ad at the right time as they seek information on the go. AdSense for Mobile is now available to all mobile publishers in 13 countries worldwide.

Hi Mike,
Nice post here. I enjoyed the Geo-Targeting one, as it addresses a fundamental problem with local search.
On a related note, would you care to participate in a survey I’m organizing of Local SEO experts? The idea is to hear different view on what the current most effective ranking factors are in local search.
Regards,
Gabriel
Hi Gabriel
Thanks.
I would be glad to. I did try to call you but your voice mail message was garbled and I couldn’t quite get the #’s correct. I emailed but didn’t hear from you…perhaps the spam filters got in the way
