Did you read it at all?

8. Are there ads in Gmail?

There are no pop-ups or banner ads in Gmail. Gmail does include relevant text ads that are similar to the ads appearing on the right side of Google search results pages. The matching of ads to content is a completely automated process performed by computers using the same technology that powers the Google AdSense program. This technology already places targeted ads on thousands of sites across the web by quickly analyzing the content of pages and determining which ads are most relevant to them. No humans read your email to target the ads, and no email content or other personally identifiable information is ever provided to advertisers.

i didn't mean the pop up ads, just the 'relevant text ads'

seriously
how will they be paying for this service.
Without increasing a certain fee later on

People are speculating that this may be an april fool's joke, lol

But i don't think so

 

[Calculon]

I do, how big is that server gonna have to be???!!

 

[RCMasterAA]

Well it's real. We'll just have to see.

There are privacy concerns since google screens all your emails automatically.

They say its ok since it is done by a computer( thus not human)

So, what is the expected release date?

Anyone know?

the "relevant" advertisement means that they will SCAN your email

it's like when you look up restaurants on google they will have ads for restaurants. if you email a friend about dinner, similar ads will be there.

kids, that's what we call an invasion of privacy
