I just thought this would be a great find for Google AdSense users, especially those that run websites in a language other than English. In fact, I saw an advertisement in Hindi in my gMail Account yesterday. I don’t know if it was a random coincidence or they somehow managed to get my ethnicity (even though I never displayed it on the internet).
Nevertheless, Search Engine Roundtable has posted up how you can change your primary language for your Google AdSense formats:
* Log in to your account at https://www.google.com/adsense
* Click the My Account tab
* Click the Login Information link
* Select a language from the Display Language drop-down list
* Click Save Settings
A prime example of a website that should definitely use this, would be News. They are an unbelievably popular Indian news site, with tons of traffic each day. However, they are displaying English advertisements. Even though many Indians can read English, the CTR for these ads must be horrible. But, if it was in Hindi, the official language of India, more readers would click on the ads. Just goes to show what can be done to monetize your website if it’s in a different language.
I hate AdSense on blogs. Usually, I ignore it, but I also cast a sharp eye towards the quality of the posts and professionalism of the content when I see AdSense. That’s not to say that contextual advertising can’t work well in some blogs, but it needs to be well integrated into the design and layout to help defer criticism. Don’t get me wrong - it’s unfair to judge a blog by its cover (or, in this case, its ads), but spend a lot of time surfing blogs and you’ll have the same impression - low quality blogs run AdSense and many high quality ones don’t. I always recommend that whether personal or professional, you wait until your blog has achieved a level of success before you start advertising. Ads, whether they’re sponsorships, banners, contextual or other, tend to have a direct, negative impact on the number of readers who subscribe, add to favorites and link - you definitely don’t want that limitation while you’re still trying to get established.

How much blog spam is produced in 5 minutes in a quiet Sunday evening? What is the ratio of spam blogs in the most popular blog services? To answer this question I present you the results of an experiment analyzing ping data and manually reviewing blogs.
The relative ease of creating and maintaining blogs makes them ideal tools for spamming search engines. Spam blogs or splogs serve two basic purposes: making money from advertising and affiliate programs, and participating in link farms. But making money from AdSense and providing nepotistic links are not what it takes to call a blog splog. Otherwise we would have to classify all blogs showing ads or promoting a business as spam; and there are thousands popular, quality blogs that would fall into this category. The distinctive feature of a splog, however, is that it has no use for its visitors. Should Google ban a splog from AdSense and prevent its links from passing on authority – such a splog would have no more value or purpose of existence. So my definition of a splog would be “a blog with the only purpose of showing contextual or affiliate ads, or boosting link popularity of certain target sites”.
