Looks like Mixx is looking for some extra revenue these days. The guys at Mixx have been doing a great job recently that many of the “Ex-Diggers” are now more active at Mixx.
But with their recent update, Mixx team has decided to plug in AdSense ads into almost all of their pages (seen only for unlogged users). For logged in users, they are available only in the heath and technology categories. There would be a 250×250 square on the right hand side and another 468×60 at the bottom. Hmm…clever thinking there.

Nice catch. I use Mixx pretty often lately and haven’t even noticed.

Is there any specific reason they are using adsense ads?
I thought the biggies do not use adsense.

Reddit also uses AdSense. Once you get over a certain page view amount Google cuts a deal on the percent. So instead of the normal 72% (or around there) They get closer to 80-85%.
They also get better customization features, better support, etc. They also get a lot more people specifically targeting their website. They *may* also be able to choose whether to show entirely CPM ads.

Everyone keeps on hunting for other sources of revenue by concentrating on their own source of income. Even i guess Linkedin uses Google Adsense in it. So i am not annoyed here by seeing Mixx using the ads.

I haven’t started using Mixx yet, but it really wouldn’t bother me.
