Although, strictly speaking, this article won’t help you earn more money with Google AdSense, we suspect you’ll enjoy its contents just the same.  That’s because it contains the news that publishers from other networks will now sometimes compete with regular AdWords advertisers for your ad space.

Google’s been informing AdSense publishers of this change with emails today (apologies if you’ve received one already).  It appears to mean that there’ll be a significantly larger group of entities competing for the opportunity to sell your visitors something and pay you a bit of money.

Better still, Google wrote, “[W]e’re certifying all participating ad networks for adherence to our standards for user privacy, ad quality, and speed. You’ll also have control over which networks can show ads on your pages - you can choose to opt out of receiving ads from specific networks, or all networks completely.”

So your blog or site shouldn’t wind up with any ads you don’t like as a result of the development.

Here’s hoping this’ll open the door to a glorious new era of rich AdSense users.  Or at least result in a few more dollars heading for your bank account every month.
