2.AdSense so far is the best available product in the market when it comes to delivering context sensitive ads. AdContext & AdCenter are good for nothing.

3.The product as a whole lacks Google’s WOW factor, but for sure they are going to monetize it now.

What you've got in YouTube is a cool video delivery infrastructure, and it would work well for one of the largest advertising mediums : TV ads. Imagine tapping into that sort of ad network and making it available over the web. Take that one step ahead and open it up for user-generated ads (for just about anything) and you have a very cool way of distributing rich-media ads (and im not talking flash) over the web.</p> YouTube + AdSense makes total sense.

I think there are several more challenges with this:

-Google continues to believe that ultimately the big media companies will accept disintermediation of their business models-not going to happen.

-Google continues to view publishers as simply raw material for their business models. Publishers will demand control over what content gets shown on their site, and Google will be very slow to provide them with any sort of control. As a result this will see slow adoption by publishers.

if google is suspect about matching the ads to content (as adsense does), i don’t think it’s a good idea to attempt to match content to content! site owners are very picky about the content, and even mighty google even with all it’s brain-yard probably isn’t quite there to please them just yet.

it would’ve been nicer if they let the publishers browse the sponsored videos and pick the ones that they wanted to play on their site. i for one would be willing to do it..!
