| eBay and Google set to start replacing tired advertising models
It's pretty well known that Google's (NASDAQ: GOOG) AdWords internet advertising system works. It combines the auction format of letting advertising customers compete against each other for advertising spots along with customer responsiveness to ads in order to determine which advertisers see premium placement on Google properties. This type of "customer relevancy" combined with an auction format keyword bidding has made Google, well, the most successful advertiser on the internet. But, when it comes to internet and auction, don't ever count out eBay (NASDAQ: EBAY). The world's largest auction web property wants to up the ante (so to speak) in creating an auction-based sales system that would put it directly in the crosshairs of Google. How so, might you ask? As Zac Bissonnette mentioned yesterday, ebay is making it possible for radio stations to auction off ad-time.
Google's Acquisition of Feedburner for Expanded AdWords ...
What will Google's acquisition of Feedburner tell us? At the end of the day, Google wants to make money. As such, a forums post on Search Engine Watch asks whether the acquisition had a goal for Google to expand the Google AdWords distribution channel. It's entirely possible, and many people agree that this acquisition will also focus on getting more relevant results in the SERPs. Rob aka evilgreenmonkey says: It's a reasonable assessment that Google's acquisition of Feedburner simply increases their possible ad inventory (as well as offering some very juicy data). I think that it's highly unlikely that AdWords would be forced onto feeds though, especially without re-numeration. I can see a blogger style implementation happening, where they make it very easy (or maybe the default) to use AdSense in the feeds.

People click on the darndest things
Proof that users will click on virtually anything -- behavior that hackers depend on -- has been laid out by a researcher, whose Google ad touted instant infection. More than 400 clicked through.In a six-month experiment by security researcher Didier Stevens, some users weren't warned off by a Google sponsored link that read:Drive-By DownloadIs your PC virus-free?Get it infected here!Of the 259,723 times the ad was viewed, it was clicked on 409 times, said Stevens.To run the experiment, Stevens registered the "drive-by-download.info" domain -- ".info domains are notorious for malware hosting," he said -- set up an exploit-free Web page that displayed "Thank you for your visit!" and logged the number of views, and began a Google Adwords campaign using several combinations of the words "drive by download.""No PCs were harmed in this experiment," Stevens swore.
