AdSense Keywords Tag

Mr. Philipp (http://blog.outer-court.com/archive/2005-05-31-n12.html) once again finds the goodies from these new technologies. Basically, he found two keyword tags embedded in the AdSense code used at Findory.

google_kw_type = "broad";
google_kw = "Tech then about with that blog this between arousal del

The tags seems to be used to help tell Google what ads to serve up. An other form of "acceptable cloaking", dare I say it.

Here's some more information (http://google.blognewschannel.com/index.php/archives/2005/05/31/findory-adds-ads-personalizing-google-adsense/) about the keyword tags.

Forgot to mention - those keyword tags are used with permission by the AdSense team, so its not for public use. I think this is more than acceptable cloaking. Google and the publisher have formed an agreement, so I'd say this is supported cloaking =).

There are quite a few variables available on a permission-basis for regular publishers, and/or as a perk for premium publishers. There are quite a few sites that use this (both regular and premium) but most people aren't viewing the source code of AdSense ;) The keyword line in the javascript is one that has been in use since the beginning.
