I decided to see what the normal advertising rate was for one of the publications, picked one at random (pc magazine), and here's their rate sheet. http://www.pcmagmedia.com/rates/index.html

Now, I don't know about you, but I can't afford those prices. Do you think the bids would have to be comparable to those rates in order to win?

Not sure, but some of the answers are at http://services.google.com/marketing/links/aw-print-pub-ads/faq#howmuch

From the looks of the screenshot, it seems to me that those ads will be more of a classified section ads then anything else. Also, I don't think ads will be published in the magazines like PC Magazine, it wouldn't make much sense for those publications and the price would be ridiculous.

[dazzlindonna]

PC Magazine was one of the publications listed on the Google site, which is why I picked it.

[Andrey@SMS]

Yes, you're right. In that case I don't see how it makes sense for PC Magazine or any publication of that class...
