[...] This article listing the websites where webmasters will be able to target their ads using Google’s new Adwords targeting fascinates me. [...]

I can see the logic in it, and from a google sales pitch point of view i can imagine it would be a useful tool to attract some advertisers, but i remain unconvinced of how many real world sales are generated from these ads. I suppose it depends on the product and if people find it annoying to be bombarded with ads when they are just trying to network.

Targeting by MySpace members’ socio-demographics is nice but still the main problem remains – most members being blind to ads. A new startup named Bees And Pollen overcomes this hurdle by enabling any advertiser to search social networks for top-influences in any target audience an advertiser would like to reach. Thus, letting the advertiser contact the most influences individuals in his target market and harnessing their power to recommend his products in their trusted network of friends.

@Jon – good points. Perhaps MarketingSherpa will do a case study when this hits the mainstream.

@Janet – I completely agree! Don’t get me wrong, I think the idea in theory is terrific. I always wondered why adCenter didn’t do more from the start with geo and demo-graphic information. They had a much more reliable database through Hotmail, software, etc. yet they never really played that up. It was arguably the one thing they could have used to combat YSM and Adwords from the get-go. I think a nice follow up article that included some test results in the future would be nice for the skeptics out there (myself included:)

@Jon – Yes, actually there are a lot of fake profiles and I see your point about click fraud. The only answer is to test (conversions are the ultimate measure).
I usually turn off the content network too. This would give me reason to try it again though.

How truely targeted could this be? I mean, just recently Myspace deleted 150k pedophiles accounts and I have numerous friends who claim to be under the age of 18 so there profiles can be ‘protected’ for whatever reason. I think everyone who has a myspace account knows the amount of spam filtering through their inbox. Is there anyone out there who thinks click fraud on myspace wouldn’t be out of control?
Granted, I have never been a fan of the ‘content network’ in general so I’m sure my opinion is biased but … I’m curious as to other’s thoughts.
