    Yes it is, you can get 1 dollar per click, most of the times 60 cents.

    i dunno.. i would guess that most people looking for a webhost know what an Adsense ad is, and would be less likely to click..

    Good niche yes but good for clicks no. Webmasters usually tend to not click on advertisements.

    It is a good niche if you have the traffic. It will take sales away from your hosting if you use adsense ads on site.

    I've found that placing Google ads on my hosting site has pulled me in a bit of bunce.

    I find I get about $1.25 per click at the moment.

    But there is the danger of giving your opposition potential customers.

    Agreed, so you should use a google preview tool to see which ads will display on your site, look at the sites and then compare the prices and features.

    The best way to avoid potential customers drifting elsewhere.
