Google Adwords to Google Earth?

I just read a blog on the Search Engine Journal stating it has reason to believe Google's next Adwords move is to Google Earth.

Interesting.

Now, not only will people using Google Earth and Google Maps find locations of their choosing they may be prompted to look for other local venues. Talk about targeting traffic!

Local searches are invaluable, especially if you're a local company looking to bring in locals or visitors from the area (I know, that's too easy).

Google Earth may be able to target traffic Adwords buyers have difficulty reaching through Adwords text ads and banners. Either way, this use broadens the scope of Google advertising capabilities and its revenue.

Keep an eye out, Google Earth may be taking off once again.
