    Hi,
    Today I noticed google ads on Orkut, its community site . Orkut is very popular in brazil and India.( Almost everyone i know are on orkut. Have found friends Lost 13 years back on it)
    So will orkut be sharing the adwords by allowing adsense programs to users???just like blogspot???
    What do u say???
    I hope there isnt much ad as i thought it was way neater than other community sites like myspace..

    I'm not sure who created it, but it is hosted at google.

    Edit: one of the link at the bottm of orkut page says advertise with us and takes u to adwords page.

    i know it very well that orkut is part of google network. the only thing is till yesterday ( i dont think i saw it yesterday so) there were no ads on orkut.
    today there are links to adwords for advertising.
    hence i had a query raised whether google would ask the users to create adsense account and let them earn money similar to blogger.
