If you have a high $ per click rate, that will help I guess.

Many people are exaggerating their Adsense earnings by a huge margin, then using this false information to base their Blog(site)s business around.

I am trying to figure out how to utlize adsense in this environment because Koreans are not used to purchasing through email list or buying off of Western sites.

I think adsense makes sense if it can capture the actual context of the topic and I am trying to use a plug in for wordpress ( target ad?) and will have to see how it goes.

anyone else tried a more target focused google adsense plug in?

But then again, some people are making a killing use it. Go figure.

My personal favorite is still community building, email marketing, and affiliate product promotion. If you can create the products yourself, even better. Thanks for the read!

@Bryan… This post is a guest post by BlogTyrant, Read ‘About the Author’ 🙂 And he is not using adsense on his blog…

Thanks for the good laugh. Your headline “Why I Will Never Use Adsense on a Blog Again” is immediately followed by a block of Adsense ads!

Efficient methods are subjective to each and every blog. Because what works for me might not work for you.

Interesting points added 😉

Reason? I’m providing a specific solution to their specific problem. Once they have solved their problem, they will not stay. Other articles are almost not relevant to them. I would rather have them exit via AdSense than the “X” button.

I have been told by several people to do Adsense or some a pay per click service.

Also, with Adsense… do they have it where you can pick from groups of ad topics or subjects from similar type advertisers. I mean I don’t want to sell flowers on a site like mine.

Any thoughts from the crowd would be very appreciated!

I must admit that your advices on google adsense made me quit my advertising with google so quick 😀

I have been saying it for years. Never Ever Ever put adsense on your site. Not worth it…

Of course, as the previous commenter points out, if you don’t have something else you want them to do, then Adsense does make perfect sense. Why not make money from them stopping by?

I’m a real estate agent, so the email subscribers idea does make a lot more sense to me than signing up for Adsense would.

Thanks for sorting that out for me!

I mean, take my site, how would you advertise there?

is that article on any specific’niche or cover all topic.

Because adsense is really good on some niche, though competition is quite high to get search engine traffic.

I do agree with you Daniel. But now i gonna ask a little favour. can both of you have look on my blog just for 1 minute and suggest me the best idea you get in that 1 minute how to monitize….

Personally, I haven’t never used Adsense on my blogs; I was thinking on recommendate its use, but this reading helped me a lot understanding why I shouldn’t use Adsense on my blogs. Thanks a lot!

Infact many new bloggers starts their journey from there.

A new from asian countries will never understand affiliates because online purchasing is not in their cards, hence they never assume that this can be happen in the begining stage.

So adsense will be here for long time, as everyday new bloggers coming to net world.

I think this sort of proves the commentators points.

You only have 365 people at the end of one year! So for most the year you have just over 100 if you are lucky.

Chances are you will earn more through adsense as your primary, whilst building an email list passively.

I totally agree with you that if one wants to become serious blogger , he needs to build a strong subscriber base (RSS and Email).

In a nutshell, adsense still a good option for startup and medium traffic blogs 🙂

Thanks for sharing this post

Thanks again for nice concept.

I totally agree that what I need to do now is to build a new site for affiliate, looking to brand a website now,

I much prefer the email list concept as I feel I have more control over opting in. It also allows a personal relationship to be built with people.

I’m working on some blogging ideas myself at the moment and I can tell you right now I won’t be using Adsense.

To success we Adsense is to get your ads targeted with your site as much as possible. As a blogs reader, I tend to move away from a blog without clicking on ads, because many time their ads are unrelevant with their contents.

This might sound to cliche, but ads do provide something ‘value’ to readers if its relevant to your blog post. They extend the informations that readers need. What make Adsense great is that they have huge advertisers, therefore more choice of ads. If we can setup the ads perfectly on our site, the chance to get more clicks is possible.

Even my dad knows how to use tabs. I doubt many people left click an ad. It’s opened in a tab just like everything else.

I agree that you have to fit the monetization method to the specific website. I had a site that I tried everything on, the only thing that made any money was Adsense. I would get thousands of clicks on different affiliate ads and didn’t sell one.

Testing will determine what works best. I wouldn’t exclude any method arbitrarily.

I mean an 80% commission???? WTF!

To me, it means you are selling someone an overpriced dud.

I just can’t see that being sustainable in the long term, either for the person charging 80% more than they need to, or for you the owner of the email list.

Thanks for weighing in boss!

🙂

Congrats on the huge sale! Did you sell it on Flippa? Must have been close to a record for them.

I didn’t say that making a product is the answer, I said that email subscribers was a better focus than Adsense. Just as a raw example, on Flippa blogs with high subscribers levels and high Adsense earnings sell for way more than blogs with just high Adsense earnings.

Thanks heaps for commenting. You have a great blog.
