This is definately a tricky issue. How can bloggers be seen as “real people” when they’re selling advertising on the site. In hindsight, how can ad agencies make money using more traditional advertising methods and compete with this kind of technology without seeming as if they sponsor the blog?

I agree with what Buster said above…that we should think about the moral dilemma as well. Seems like the foundation of what many bloggers (and other independent producers) is freedom of big business interference in their content. Seems that these moves are inching them closer and closer to what they didn’t want to begin with.

Are Google allowing disclosure? They certainly prevent it for the referral units even though you are allowed to promote them. You are not allowed to say you make money from them.

This is javascript, so you are going to have to have the links outside the flow of the content, just like Adsense.
It is a different payment model, not a different usage.

I don’t see how this is any different than all the other blog advertising that’s available now. I embed clickbank ads into my blog posts all the time and they work with Google Reader and the others.

Paulo, they look like a link, but the mouseover alt attribute says “Ads by Google”.

For a screenshot see:

This is no help to idiot bloggers like me who were too stupid to understand html, adsense and site trackers in the first place.
