It is no longer a major problem, but still it doesn't work very well. Using the progressive bootstrap procedure, you can now use Adsense ads if you display them (e.g. using WText) in your first application page. However, since only very recently, Google never allowed Adsense ads to be rotated using a JavaScript API. Therefore, once an ad is displayed in your Wt application, you have no way to change it, even if you are changing the internal path. This is a general problem with Adsense an AJAX applications. Today there is something called 'AdSense for Ajax' (http://code.google.com/apis/afa/), but you need to apply to get more information and be approved to use the API. I just applied for it (to get the technical information) but no response yet... The situation is merely a political problem (so I hope!), since the internal path API, in combination with Wt's ability to generate every page as a plain HTML page, has all the building blocks Google would need for displaying relevant ads whenever you change the internal path, just as for a plain HTML web application. > Also wondering if there is any "Powered by Wt" logo as I would be very > happy to use it as I'm sure would others and I'm sure it would be good > for exposing Wt to more users (and the web public for that matter)? There's not, actually, but it is of course a good idea to have one. We'll let our designer make one.
