Question is, are there any European ad systems that would provide enough relevant ads for your site? I'm not saying there aren't, and I would like to see some better competition against google in this area, but I know one of the benefits of Adsense is that they have such a large base of advertisers, they have relevant ads for nearly every topic:

Not to mention more advertisers creates competition.

Yeah, the logic is quite simple: the more advertisers get into business the higher bids become, the harder it gets to advertise anything on Google and the more revenue to Google money-making machine :-(.

We quit advertising on Google a couple of months ago due to this same issue: it became virtually impossible to bid on any word that has a corelation to "voip".
