    I just saw that some News Article says Gil Elbaz is the "inventor" of Adsense??
    Did he really invent anything? He followed someone elses concept and brought it to google....
    Online ads like adsense have been around for a long time. There was hotwired, gnn and Prodigy way before Adsense.

    Did you post your response to hijack the thread? I don't see anything wrong with the post of the OP. Stick with the topic or stay away.

    @OP - he probably invent how adsense works, but the news didn't claim that he invented the PPC system. So probably he followed someone elses concept and brought it to google. 2 cents

    He probably invented the improved context aware technology that made Adsense attractive for both advertisers and publishers

    Ok dummy me, I went and found out more stuff about the guy (which I prob shoulda done first) and his first startup was Applied Semantics which google bought and called adsense for $102 million. So he was the brainchild of the way it puts relevant text ads on sites.
    I learn something new every day..lol
