The world could really use a good competitor to Adsense, couldn't it? How about some ad network that is based on contextual technology such as Facebook, retargeting, etc.

Actually, if you are willing to stack, analyze, evaluate creditworthiness, account for, and collect from several dozen DSPs and ad networks, you really can replicate and improve upon the AdSense offering. Very few instantiations of this strategy -- including the one of which I am founder -- allow open access to the service, though. At mass scale, fraud becomes the limiting factor. But any legitimate site doing 500K pageviews/mo needs to be thinking ahead.

It seems like you can give native advertising a try. I'm the cofounder of http://www.stackadapt.com and you can load our ad tag through ajax. You can also define ad formats using your site's HTML, so the ads are completely native and responsive to your site.

What do you think native means?

I've been buying Facebook stock for the past year under the assumption that they're going to release a product like this at some point. It just seems like such a logical business move. I think it's coming, and I think their recent tracking announcement is the first step.

> I've been buying Facebook stock for the past year under the assumption Good luck with your speculation.

Thanks, over 50% return so far!

Nasdaq is up 30%. A rising tide lifts all boats but you only find out who is swimming naked when the tide goes out.

Adsense is a lot like PayPal -- conceptually it seems easy to compete, but your biggest challenge has nothing to do with the legitimate product, but instead is preventing and dealing with unending and overwhelming attempts at fraud.

You're exactly right, and there is still a big need for one just as there was for a PayPal competitor.

He's made quite a bit of profit over the past year then.
