Anyone using google adsense here?

Just added it to a couple of mainstream sites which each have several thousand (legitimate) subpages. Already it's picking up relevancy, for example it's recognizing "Melbourne Australia" on one page and showing ads for a Melbourne hotel and Melbourne city info site.

One of them is a profile site that lists a summary of every profile on the front page (all 3k+ of them - I gotta fix that), which includes location - that's definitely confusing google. ;)

- rent a car in USA
- rent a car in EU
- make long distance phone calls
- schools where you can learn Italian

The other site is even more content rich, it's an archive of thousands of messages going back several years. It will be interesting to see what it matches up there.

Both these sites ride on spare HD space and bandwidth, now they might even make a bit of money...

Great way to make some extra money but unless your site is fulling HUGE amounts of traffic, you're better off looking for higher paying targetted niche advertisers.

Yup, remember you're getting paid per click so find ways to maximize CTR's. It's a good secondary source of income but don't rely on it as your sole money earner from mainstream sites.
