This is a really good step-by-step guide of how to install AdSense. Bloggers should be aware that it’s important to protect the account with the “allowed sites” function to prevent invalid ad clicks.

Just a small not about the AlphaImageLoader filter duplication:

AlphaImageLoader actually adds a new image inside the span where it’s referenced, so unless you find a way to hide the other image, it will be displayed twice. The fool-proof way to hide it at the right moment is to use a very similar filter as the AlphaImageLoader one. The Alpha filter is the closest one that exists.

You are testing what looks like a text only ad.
You have the option when setting up your Google Adsense code to choose Text and Image & Rich Media ads.

I would be interested to see your test results with the image and rich media ads. Of course each page refresh would have different results and there is no way to force image only ads.
The results would vary depending if Google hosts all the images and rich media on their own servers or if they allow advertisers to host their own ads.

Also, now that Google Adsense allows third party Ad Networks to serve ads through Adsense, what is Google doing to ensure the third party networks (who definitely do hosts their own creatives) aren’t slowing down the web.

A temporary solution is to put the ad in a DIV with the desired width and height (I like it with overflow hidden). So the browser can draw the HTML part of the page before the loading of the scripts

Even sites that are not aiming at particularly high performance often load Google ads after the main content so that they do not slow the whole page down.

It is pretty horrible, but they pay pretty well.
