I suppose it's too early to tell. Though I will say that the layouts of some of these sites don't even really appear to have an obvious place to fit the U2 banner (though some of them have the obvious slot for a square ad, and the banner is an ad, in that sense, so that may be the spot to watch), which is a bit discouraging.
