Why not use AdSense (or similar service)?

Discussion in 'AdSense' started by Chad Sexington, Aug 16, 2007.

    Just browsing through the forums for the first time after sending my info over to google.

    One post in another thread stated that you should not even bother with AdSense unless you get 1000 uniques per day.

    I get probably 20,000 page views a month (total pages & total hits). It's just a little personal fansite for a game that I've been running for the past year and a half.

    Why not sue AdSense if it's free? Or is the logic from the fact that it's not worth having the extra ads floating around.

    Look, these words came from marketers who have tons of sites. Don't bother, do as you think you should.

    Aside from adsense and bidvertiser are there any program which is offering such kind of payment and services as well?. I am also looking for some opportunities to put up in my site so I wonder if there are better choice than adsense as well?.

    I have got nearly 8000 impressions in my Adsense a/c. But the revenue is just $2.10. How to improve it.

    A significant amount of adsense publisher does not get 1000 uniques per day. So you can try it without second thought.
    :D No suing adsense is not free :D

    If you are a happy with getting paid out every 3 months or longer then those numbers could still be okay. It all depends on your niche (aka related cost per click) and your CTR.

    Yeah, right now my site is extremely focused and has no real interest to the general public as a whole. It's just a fansite for a MMO. But I figure I'll trying and get some flash games together.

    It seems like a good flash game will get the general public no matter what. I wouldn't be surprised if a few people here feature flash games exclusively.


    (P.S. I made $3.00 so far. Woo-hoo...? Hehe.)

    I straight away ask a question to those who are in adsense program, "Will you click on (google)advertisements even by chance to give revenue to other adsense a/c?". Humanly not.

    It really depends on your nitch. Mine is about Computers. I got clicks that cost only 1 cent but sometimes more than a dollar. Most average from 12 to 20 cents. But sometimes it also depends on your Ad placement.
