    It’s good (I think). It’s the bread & butter for millions of webmasters.

    In general for the users, I think no. The mfa sites really take a lot of space in the serps.

    Why isn't it good for the users? What happens when you click on an Adsense ad (as a user)? Nothing. You open another page. Whoopie do. It's not like spending that half a second to click on an ad cost you anything. Meanwhile, if you're a website publisher, Adsense is a Godsend.

    Conclusion: Adsense is GOOD for the Internet.

    MFA sites will always be there. By MFA sites I mean sites that would not be made if not adsense existed. Not only the crappy looking high ctr ones.

    I must agree on that. There are lots of low quality unappealing sites on the SERPS that appear a lot when I search for certain things.

    In another point of view, adsense is good in that they provide "clean" looking advertisements, so we're not filled with cheap pay per impression ads (you know how annoying those are).

    I think it's good for Internet communication also.

    It leads to money to roll about server, advertisement, webmaster, users, and also product.

    Besides that, this also make communication company, like electronic materials get more income.

    From a webmaster's point of view it is excellent. But from a user's point of view it's probably not so great with all of the low quality crappy websites on there.

    Then again, how many webmasters have made websites solely because of adsense. I don't think there would be as many websites around if adsense didn't exist

    Okay here is my 2 cents on it :)

    Every is saying that its bad because of mfa sites, however, what about all the good sites out there that you are all creating that you put adsense on? Would you be creating those if there wasn't adsense?

    Adsense has helped grow the internet tremendously by allowing people who take the time to build excellant websites to earn for those sites and their time. Of course there are bad apples in the basket, but overall I know that with just me there are 30 good quality informational websites out there that would not be there if adsense didn't exsist (well publisher programs like adsense I include in this)

    So while there are MFA sites out there, there are alot of good sites that are out because adsense exsists.
