Google rolls out +1 on AdSense adverts

Posted on by

I received this email in the post this morning, it reads as follows:

Google - Hello, In the next month, we'll introduce the +1 button and personal recommendations to display ads. The +1 button will begin to appear on AdSense for Content and AdSense for Mobile Content display ad formats -- image, animated gif, and Flash. +1s will be one additional signal to help determine an ad's relevance and we'll continue to show the ads that will generate the most revenue for you. We previously launched the +1 button on Google search and for publisher sites to make it easier for people to share and discover content across the web. Soon, your users will be able to endorse specific ads and make the ads more likely to appear to their social connections. We believe that these recommendations could help your readers notice ads on your site more, leading to higher returns for you over time. If you prefer not to show the +1 buttons on display ads on your pages, you can opt out in your account. For more information please visit the Inside AdSense blog. Sincerely, The Google AdSense team

So Google is going to let users tell them what Ad’s they like with adding the +1 to them?

It will be interesting to see if it catches on.

Too bad they had to launch it today… It’s seems to be dwarfed by the news of Facebook’s new re-design which is causing a bit of fiasco – no surprise there then.
