Google AdSense ads are embedded in websites all across the web. As a webmaster, you have the option to let Google display Public Service Ads when they cannot find a fitting other ad; these ads will not earn the webmaster revenue. Now, as Wirememe and Digital Inspiration report, Google links to its own election special which provides election pointers based on YouTube, Google Knol, Google Reader, and a couple of clicks further, things like Feedburner or AdSense and AdWords. “Connect with voters using dynamic ads on the world’s #1 Internet search site,” Google says in relation to AdWords.
But is Google even eligible for using the Public Service Ads spot? Google’s help page on the subject says (my emphasis), “PSAs are non-profit organization ads that are served to pages when targeted ads are unavailable, or when Google is unable to gather content from the page.”
