vb 3.8 google adsense integration - post your feedback

Ive just installed vb 3.8 with adsense integration.
I am courious if my income will raise, please post your impressions if you did same update.

its very limited, no use for me. I prefer manually editing ad location templates.

I was looking at that...I've yet to install 3.8, but it sounds like they will do their own keyword targeting with that so I figured rather than showing relevant ads, you can put up ads that may be somewhat relevant but pay better? Or just not relevant at all and go for high paying ones in hopes that someone will click it and you get more money than you would have with 200 clicks :P But yeah, since I haven't installed it, is there a section like that to target specific ads?

I think giving internet brands your pub ID is a HUGE mistake.

Yea, I'm using OpenX and doubt I will ever use vBulletin (or Internet Brands) for Adsense Integration.

im a little weary of this one myself

although they claim to get 0% of the revenue, they still will have access to reports should you give them permission

im not to sure i like them being able to view some sort of report no matter how my info is protected..

I'm not worried about the revenue. They would have a lawsuit the size of google on them in a heart beat.

But, Being as big of a publisher as they are, google very well may have direct terms with them for special programs.

They may be able to get statistical data on high paying niches, or what sites are worth.

thus, if you ever want to sell, they will have data already... or they may even contact you to sell with an offer based on those stats/figures.

It's big brother at it's finest, and i'm keeping my armidillo and tin foil cap on

This type of information would be hugely valuable to Internet Brands. I can understand the concerns raised for sure.
