Although this blog has earned plaudits for covering contextual advertising, popular networks like AdSense and YPN, and developments in online advertising, we are not, by any means, the only enthusiastic bloggers in our space. There are a number of blogs whose RSS feeds I’ve added to my reader, and discussion forums dedicated to AdSense and contextual advertising that I refer to.

Here are some blogs on AdSense and contextual advertising:

• YieldBuild Blog – the contextual advertising blog, typically with several posts per week on performance tips, optimization advice, discussion of studies and news relevant to online publishers.
• Inside AdSense – the official blog for Google AdSense. Includes a mixture of advice for publishers, and announcements about changes in AdSense service.
• YPN Blog – the official blog for Yahoo Publisher Network. Similar to Inside AdSense, the YPN Blog offers details advice and insights to publishers, as well as posting announcements and information about other Yahoo service integration.
• JenSense – Jennifer Slegg is a contextual advertising consultant, and maintains this blog to share her insights on how to make more money from AdSense and other popular contextual advertising networks.
• Optimizing AdSense – Danny Gabriner, contextual advertising optimizer for CNET, maintains this blog full of useful advice and insights on how bloggers and site owners can make Google AdSense perform better.

In addition, there are a few forums that have active discussions on AdSense:

• WebmasterWorld Google AdSense forum – information exchange, announcements and reactions, and even rants and flame wars (hey, this is a discussion forum!)
• AdSense Chat – Joel Comm’s vB forum on everything AdSense. Includes discussion on all matters related to AdSense, including a critiquing “workshop” and help from the community for newbies
• Digital Forum’s AdSense Forum – another active forum, mostly questions and answers by the community
