I miss the old days of Google AdSense, but we must find a way to adapt and continue generating revenue with Google.
It’s definitely starting to feel like traditional AdSense is losing its edge, especially with the rise of AI-driven content, ad blockers, and new monetization models like affiliate and subscription platforms. While AdSense still works for some niches, it's nowhere near as reliable or profitable as it used to be. For example, I run a niche content site focused on things like Shake Shack Nutrition — which used to bring in decent passive income via AdSense. But over the past year, earnings have dropped significantly despite consistent traffic. I've had to explore other monetization options like sponsored posts and direct partnerships.
