why Google should be interested to change the ads when they want to look like ads ? they don't want the users confuse them with other links. Because will lose money ? no, Google will not lose money because more and more people will sign up for Adsense. People will earn less but Adsense will be used by more people so they can even double their income without doing any change to the ads format. The quantity will make the difference, small sites will disappear and only the big sites will stay up. A simple way to clean the internet and get better results on the Google search engine. ( indirectly ) Yes, the ad-blockers are also a problem, using them no ads are displayed, doesn't matter how beautiful is your ad or relevant.
Good question, by own product I mean write your own ebook, a game, or heck even offline stuff, like discover a new drug or pill which people are willing to pay for. Discover a new source of energy and you will be the king of the earth. I am fed up with 10 cent clicks. Heck if you control the sale you can make 100s of dollars with one click...
There were researches that proved people "developed" an ability to ignore ads, it is just like how erady you are to zap to another tv channel once the actual one goes to commercials.
One difference, though, is that the commercials usually have absolutely no relevance to the TV Program. That's not the case with contextual ads. What if you were watching a program on Bird-Watching and then it went to a commercial about cameras or binoculars?
