So Dennis's main thrust, that more attention will be paid to relevant news, seems to be absolutely right to me - effectively a form of permission marketing that I am sure Seth Godin would approve of. BUT, if the advertisers do not se a return from their spend with Google then the latter company will surely stop making money too? And if advertising stops making Google money, where will that leave all the users of its free products? Hi Dennis and Philip,

It will take the entire widget 'as is.' It's not blog platform dependent so can go on any site able to execute a Javascript item. You – you can pick up the widget and add it to your site.

I guess there must be as I think you use is, but it isn't on the list b) If I use this Do I get your ads? I'm sure I don't, but I just wanted to check. So far I haven't cashed in on my traffic, but the time might come Richard Dennis

I may be feeling dumb (it happens, honest) but:

a) Is there a WordPress version? I guess there must be as I think you use is, but it isn't on the list

b) If I use this Do I get your ads?

I'm sure I don't, but I just wanted to check. So far I haven't cashed in on my traffic, but the time might come
