Google Gmail Content Ads

[Discovery]

FYI:

As you may be aware, Google's Gmail service, which is part of the content network, also displays AdWords ads. As of last week, statistics for ads shown on Gmail will appear in your Placement Performance Reports.

While you cannot target Gmail directly, all ads opted into the content network are eligible to show on Gmail. As with all contextually targeted ads, Gmail ads are placed using an automated process that matches relevant ads to web pages and newsletters within the Google Network. You can however prevent your ads from showing on Gmail by excluding "gmail.com " in the Site Exclusion tool.

Thanks Discovery. Good to know.

I have to wonder about the targeting. In my gmail this week, there was an Adsense ad running that was offering 100 free fart videos.

Will this limit Gmail ads, even though the URL for Gmail is http://mail.google.com?

One wonders what the letter was about......
