A few weeks ago Adwords started offering advertisers the option to schedule their ads. From the Adwords help center: My question is whether or not you think this affects Adsense publishers? Will earnings drop at off-peak times? Will the most popular websites suck up all the ads during golden time, leaving pennies for the rest of us? If you use Adwords, have you started scheduling your ads? Why or why not? Could this benefit Adsense publishers by encouraging more people to use Adwords? Discuss!
I can't really tell if this has affected my AdSense earnings or not. I do think it was a very good move for advertisers and in the long run it will be good for AdSense publishers. Anything that gives advertisers more control and flexibility over their ads will give them more confidence in advertising through AdWords, thus may very well be willing to spend more of their advertising budget on AdWords advertising.
