Hi all

When boost is caching a page, it is also caching the adsense ads that came with it when the page was generated, right?

If so, this could have big implications for sites relying heavily on adsense, since the revenues generated by the ads may vary significantly during the day. By caching the ads you run the risk of not serving the highest revenue ads to the end user and you might even show stale ads that will generate little to no revenue.

Thoughts on this issue?

Thanks

It's not an issue. It uses javascript to generate the ad's.

Thank you. I had the feeling the generated ads were being saved "as is" since there were always the same on the cached page.

Ad sense tells you to insert only a javascript snippit correct?

It grabs the JS from the google servers so Boost can not cache it even if it wanted to (look at the src='' part of the code). This is not an issue with boost.
