I have been looking at a lot of sites lately and seeing that most bigger names such as problogger.net, johnchow.com, showmoney.com, and many others are using adsense but they don't use the text ads, they are using picture ads. Does anybody know what they are using, is it 6 small ads, 3 medium ads or are they using some software to get their ads to look like that. I am really wanting to know and nobody will tell me how they get their ads like that or are they all just earning so much that they are Googles VIP's and they are allowed to do this.
I think even if they had normal AdSense ads they would still make money. They have thousands of followers and that's what matters. Traffic is everything. Sadly, it's all that matters.
Yeah, they are making big money because they have built up their followers. Most of the people viewing the site are return visitors. I doubt the majority of their adsense money is coming from those pages though. It is more likely other affiliate pages they have built their business on.
