i would like to know how many of you are wholly dependant on adsense of your living.. and how much happy you are with that.. and how many hours do you work daily??
Nah, it would be too dangerous to even have Adsense be the majority of my company's income. You know, all the eggs in one basket thingy...
Adsense is going down for publishers, bc of the vast flow of overseas publishers bringing tons of junk visitors.
I'm not even close to being dependent on adsense. Maybe in a few years I will be able to take it easy on my full time job, but for now adsense is more of a hobby than a job.
It's never a good idea to be solely dependant on just one Advertising network. It's best to have at least 3 options. I always believe in having a backup for your backup.
I am very thankful that YPN has provided another basket, and changed my Adsense dependence from 100% to 50%, in spite of the whacked-out targeting. I too, am seeking a "double backup", due to all the things that can "happen" to you being reported here. If MSN were here, that would be it, in spite of my distaste for M$ for previous misdeeds.
Half of my income is through chitika, half through adsense. If for whatever reason I didn't have an adsense account any more, I'd be fucked. I don't think Chitika is something that I can trust, or something that is going to last.
I think that being 100% dependant on any online advertising program would be scary. Unless you have a backup plan, of course . ANyone that is 100% depending on adsense for income, obviously has "made for adsense" websites/pages (which are against the rules) and therefore could be thrown out at any time. I never count on that adsense check, but when it arrives, I sure do like to spend it !
