I always thought that for a successful blog we need quality content, but recently I see that a lot of moneymaking blogs say different. I read a lot of posts that say that for adesnse is better to have a bad content so the user will look for what he needs in our adsense links. Than we have a better CTR rate. I still believe in a good content, and I wanna do this job the right way. It somehow makes sense, but is it really true? What do you think? Clash
I have not yet come across any successful blogs that have poor content. If a site has a poor content i hit the back button straight away and won't visit the site again. The theory of having poor content so that your visitors may click on ads may result in a short term increase in revenues. But what about the medium to long term? If you've got poor content who would like to come back to your site? Where will you get the traffic from if you've got poor content?
Bad content is never good, period. Case closed. Provide people what they want, and you will profit from it. Give people crap and you'll get crap returns.
You could try to set up two blogs, the good one and the bad one, and learn their ctr from experience. If you develop this "bad content" theory further, the most profitable thing will be to have no content at all...
Not really. You may risk your adsense been ban if you have bad content. Good content still can survive the current environment.
