Google is extending its Adword service to outside of Google. You could now put google’s text Ads on your own website. The text ads shown on your site would of course target to your readers, as how they always do in their search engine (noted it’s their main income). Go subscribe to Google AdSense if you’re interested.
Blogger? Sorry, the door ain’t open yet. Check out Tristan Louis’s experience! on that. Guess if Google want to do it, they’d try it on the new blogger.com first (or the current blogspot?).
[Update] Aaron Swartz got an application to let you have a feel what ads would Google AdSense put to your page. Try it.

It's a shame that the AdSense rules say you can't publish click-through data etc. It would be useful to learn what others are doing. My early have been startling - much better than I expected.

Guess Google treating click-through data as business confidential, which they would keep to themselves for marketing analysis. Think if you could study your competitor's click-through "pattern" or it attract more click-through, that would be interesting ;).

Allan is being modest, he has one of the most excellent expositions of AdSense at AssociatePrograms.com, it's at the top of the list of article rankings at http://www.adsenses.com
I agree that first time users will get a big rush on their first day, I had my first day yesterday and I was floored by the excellent results and the paycheck. It was like having a minimum wage job but not having to show up for work.
But today. Day two. That will tell the story. Will AdSense's lack of ad rotation bring another, less cheery, result. Today, day two, will tell. Stay tuned.
