Google AdSense For Maps
- Search Engine Journal, Thursday, May 21, 2009 5:15 PM
Google Maps Ad Unit, a new feature as part of the AdSense for Maps portfolio, now allows Web developers to overlay AdSense units on a Google Map embedded on sites. Arnold Zafra writes that the
units are targeted to the map's view and update as the cursor hovers around them.
Providing directions to link the Maps API, Zafra writes that you can easily reposition the ads anywhere within the map by simply specifying an alternative GControlPosition. The ads are location-specific and more helpful than generic AdSense ads, so he believes AdSense Publishers will likely generate more revenue.
