Since we opened in Australia in 2003, we have developed a large number of great partnerships with a wide range of Australian businesses.

Today, we're delighted to announce a partnership with Fairfax Digital.

I'm happy to welcome their sites (including www.smh.com.au and www.theage.com.au) to the Google AdSense for Content network. These sites will feature contextually relevant Google AdWords.

In addition, an increasing amount of Fairfax Digital's video content will be available through Google Video. Plus, Google Maps will be integrated across the Fairfax Digital network, which will greatly enhance users' experience.

We're delighted to be working with Fairfax Digital in this way to help monetise, enhance and extend the reach of, its online content. Going forward, we're excited to build on these foundations to further expand our relationship.

Google Australia is also looking forward to building partnerships with many other Australian website owners and partners in coming months and years.
