This is why Google uses automagic. And why everyone else does as well.
Not everyone. There are still many websites that only have a few sponsors.

The number of sponsors is not related to the question of whether they are manually placing and monitoring ads on a page by page basis. Sites with few sponsors can also be rotating ads through automagic, so it's not a question of the number of sponsors.
My counter point was that the issue of placing relevant ads manually, is financial suicide, as the income from individual ads is minimal. My point being, that the income from individual ads placed, is far less than the wages paid to the human ad placer and monitor.
