I say strength in numbers . . . i think googles adsense customer service sucks and many people are complaining about low paying clicks clicks . . . i say we all come up with a fair date, and leave all at once ! I have been thinking about this for awhile but this thread made me make this post .. . http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1427417 SO LETS PICK A DATE SOME HOW ! what do you say at the end of next month or even SEPTEMBER 11th ! and we all sign up here and email this to all our webbie friends and get everyone to backout of adsense ? ? ? LOL CHECK OUT MY NEW SIG !
Not going to help . Those who earning even less money won't quit it in hope of better future earning.
but if you are only making a penny a click or maybe a WHOPPING .07 you can find better some where some how . . . i think if we could get 10,000 people to quit they might start trying to figure out where a LARGE chunk of their money just went .. . and if more people keep coming across the thread after a set date and keep quiting or refusing to sign up then we will win ! we dont have to QUIT just take ALL our ads off of our pages until they decide to pay more money !
To make a difference you would need google's top 100 publishers to leave with you and that's not going to happen
those publishers may make alot of money for them but trust me .. . it ALL adds up . . . . and you never know who is fed up with google if this gets around and we can organize something then we might be able to see some earnings increase . . . I am getting paid 7-19 dollars a click for sites I am not using adsense on . . . but I i cant display those ads on the sites I am displaying my google ads on for niche and quality reasons, google does have a good setup with targeting the ads to your page BUT THEIR PAY SUCKS and there is NO WAY TO CONTACT ADSENSE Imagine if we got DP to take their ads down for a month just to let google know that they need people like us ! I TOOK MY ADS OFF . . . Honestly I hope more people join me . . . but I have erased all the ads on my sites except for one site . . . that makes about 5 or so dollars a day so that when it gets to 100 I am going to take those last ads off and be done with google until I hear something about clicks going up . . . HOPE TO SEE MORE PEOPLE JOIN THE GOOGLE BAN !
it makes me get off my @$$ and find a different company that will actually pay me for my services . . . or possibly even start my own . . . i do own US space Website space Advertising dot COM but I was planning on building all my other 115 sites . . . then start getting US traffic and then sell advertising on my own sites . . . but since there needs to be a DRASTIC change maybe I will throw openX on that site and then see if I cant start something that will benefit others . . .
I don't really see the point in this...sure if you want to stop using Adsense then by all means do so.
i cant leave adsense it pays me well thou..i think those who earns less should find another alternative..
And give up a couple of thousand dollars a month in income? Quit smoking weed, it messes with your mind.
well i have QUIT I caught them skimming my measley cents .. . you cant contact them when you have problems unless you are an adwords user . . .
You can gather as many people to do this as possible, and it won't make a bit of difference to Google. If you feel so strongly about it, remove your own Adsense ads.
Your protest won't even make a slight pinprick to google. You are son inconsequential to them it's unbeleivable. Also, those who actual make 1k plus a month with adsense won't pay you any attention. At all.
PS I "HIGH"ly doubt you make a couple thousand dollars with adsense, so please put your crack pipe down and step aside . . . and send me a paint image of your earnings ITS EASY TO DO . . . . but I doubt you can . . . and even if you do . .. THERE IS ALOT MORE YOU CAN DO WITH YOUR 10 MILLION HITS YOU ARE DELIVERING THEM ! Oh and YES I will smoke weed til the day I die . . . and still make more money then you LOL please I AM DYING TO SEE YOUR PAYOUT IMAGE it wont happen immediately but if people start to gradually leave IT WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE over a period of time . . . They will change programs for the money of a new program . . . problem is there is not an equivalent program that can display relevant ads to date
Great idea! I encourage every one else to leave AdSense. I will stick around and let y'all know how "bad" it is without hordes of other publishers...
We all know that adsense becoming funny day by day... but this is because there is no other alternative programs to earn for the small publishers. I would rather wait if any company starts a program better that adsense.
I will wait and see how this thing will unfold. Google adsense is till the best in term of pay outs per click to me. It may hold for everyone but I will stick for now and see how I can find a similar PPC program that pays the same adsense. Great idea as I for one feel the pinch by Google and how the pay outs are, but I am just a Noob and hardly made a dime on the other programs. Thanks JulieV
