Google Tracking Mouse Overs?

Posted on May 1st, 2007 in Internet by Scott

Izzatz has an interesting article about whether Google is tracking mouse overs on Adsense Ads

In summary, the article states a personal experience where a blogger was checking the link that the adsense ad tracked to.  When he put his mouseover, some meta data in the ad changed.

So Why Does it Matter?

Why do you care if Google tracks mouse overs?

Well there are a couple reason you should be interested. 

1) it is interesting to know who knows what about you online.

2) It Might be a way to optimze your ads in the future if Google makes the data public

3) It Might be a way to monetize.  Why not?  We currently pay by impression, pay by click, why not go halfway and pay by mouseover?
