AdSense Bad For Your Business

i just received this email where they where discussing adsense as a businesss.

I’ve just closed my account as being a Publisher and I’m waiting on my last months check. We were doing around $10,000.00 a month with the AdSense type of sites and decided to get out because I felt the business model was really bad.

I was a publisher for a company that has a contract with Yahoo but in the end they are all the same.

To make a site work good with AdSense or Overture the first step is in building a site that is totally useless or close to it. ​

LMFAO! Please post some more.

 

This thread must have very relevant points for studying further, as any company who have been spending up to 10,000UK Pounds a month, thereafter they close the account.

The thread needs following to see what more details are posted on this subject

 

will check it..

 

Adsense can of course be bad for your business, unless your business is adsense. And then it would be bad if you wind up without any business ... or something ...

 

if you have service or product site and put ads on your site, simply you are diveting your ptential customers to others (compititors).
i think people are foolish who place adsense on their own service/product site.
rather they should run adwords campain to drive other internet user to their site.

 

Well, if you are selling products or services then it can be bad. Some people may click away through adsense and not stay onthe site to explore what you have to sell.

 

I think if ur selling products then keep ur adsense adfs on the pages which are not directly related to product or payment info something...............

 

So my sites must be good then. I don't have this kind of cheques per month

And the whole story is quite a good marketing idea for promoting the sites in question. Everyone wants to read about and people are curious. That's the whole thing about and perhaps these sites never had adsense on at all. Many blogs will put links up to these sites to increase their PR.
Do I smell something tricky?

 

Can somebody check with the waybackmachine?

 

i can understnad why it could be hard relying only on adsense or ypn as your account can be banned anytime.

 

Yeah, if you're doing something wrong. Google doesn't randomly ban people beacause they feel like it. What kind of business model is that?

 

I agree, if you're selling products already, adsense is bad. If you're just providing information, it is usually great.

 

So someone is a publisher, making 10grand a month, and he is closing his account?
Sounds like bullshit dumped on horseshit to me!

 

well said, I agree here.

 

If you rely on any single company for all of your income it is a bad thing.

 

Well said.

 

I don't know what to make of this but it sure is funny

 

I couldn't have put it better myself

Yes i think my favorite line was : to make adsense work you have to make "a site which is totally useless or close to it."

IS THAT WHAT I"VE BEEN DOING WRONG? omg.. it's so simple lol

 

That's why we don't see adsense on google homepage or any pages on google.com.
