can you give me an idea whether adsense is a GOOD thing on a site where i offer SEO service ? My main business is selling my service, but i do have a blog (my own writings..hehe) and a forum. Now i am thinking whether or not to put adsense on the site. I DO think my pricing is extremely competive...so i might give it a shot...but i am afraid that people looking for SEO service might still go to the sites showing in the ads ! What is your experience ?
Hmmm... Why not put the AS on the Blog and Forum only? It is not unusual to see AS in such areas.. so I doubt it would raise any flags to anyone....
Realistically, unless your blog or forum is very popular, you won't make much money from adsense. To me, adsense makes a site look very unprofessional and sometimes confusing as well. I think a lot of visitors are smart enough to not click on those paid ads. If you think your forum and blog are going to take off, why not start a different domain and keep everything separate from your main seo service site?
You may make more money by not putting adsense on your site if you are offering services; it'll make you look more professional. Just put it on a blog or something. However, it's just something you'll need to test.
