Google: Showing Banner Ads

[kaboom]

Google just sent this out:Quote:Yeah, I got that also, I enabled them but have not seen one yet.Yeah, I just went and enabled it too, but not seen any yet..Btw, webmasterbrain, is there something up with Proogle right now? I'm getting a lot of results not showing a PR at all (that should have a PR - if I go to the URL directly, the PR shows up). Does it have problems with some URLs?Yeah, Proogle is slightly broken, at the moment Google seems to be blocking requests If they come from the same IP to many times, so If anyone knows any Good proxies*, I should be able to fix it.*They need to be fast, fairly reliable, anonymous (elite), and support persistent connections!By the way the reason they need to be elite proxies is not because I'm hiding from Google (I think they know about Proogle by now) but these are the only type that seem to work reliably, others usually get a 403 error.Well, I don't think anybody's gonna want you using their proxies, and using one without permission is technically illegal, heh...But, is there any form of caching that you could implement? If a URL comes up in a result that isn't in the database already, grab it. Store it with a timestamp, and you can make sure the PR is accurate up to 24hrs. That way, if a particular topic is popular, or somebody's flicking back & forth through several pages in the same search, it's not having to reload them live every time Are you using the API calls? I thought you can get up to 1000 queries.Axe wrote:An email went out to AdWords advertisers shortly after stating image advertising is now available.I haven't seen any images on my sites either but it shouldn't be long.I wouldn't mind seeing this involve to offering an image only zone with the ability to serve more than one zone per page. Wishful thinking maybe...I am going to test it out with one of our larger advertisers. He doesn't get that much out of the contextual advertising, so we are going to test it for awhile.Do any of you know whether we can have both image ads and text link ads on the same page?Has anybody actually seen one of the Google banners come up yet? I enabled it on all my sites, and I've not seen a single one, heh.I've seen a few, they usually show up in the SEO competition page I have running on my site, check sig for link
