Do You Ever Considering Not Displaying Google AdSense Anymore?

[Inhibitor]

Adsense doesn't do much for me....I mainly have it as the "fill" advertiser for when my AdsDaq ads don't display.

I am actively looking for AdSense alternatives right now. It took me just over a year to make $50, so I have to make a decision: do I continue to waste the space until I (eventually) reach the $100 threshold? Or do I cut my losses, and install something that will (hopefully) make me more than $50/yr?

Right now, I am leaning heavily towards the latter option. I'll take any suggestions that you may wish to put forward

Thanks, Marc

I have been banned from Adsense for a while now. I really makes you find other ways to monetize your blog. YPN, blows and bidvertiser is a lot of work to manage.

What do I do to monetize? Well, I do the affiliate thing. $400 for one post in under 6 months alone. And that is only ONE post.

I wrote up a review on Neverblueads.com, if you'd like to read it. Free to join and there are plenty of offers to promote.

Good luck. There are other affiliate networks too (posts on my blog about most of them), but NeverBlueAds works best for me so far.

I think you should concentrate your effort on speeding up your AdSense earning, instead of trying out the alternatives. Usually click through rates are almost the same with the alternative while we all know that AdSense offers rather high cost per 1000 impressions. If it took you that long to make $50, something is definitely not right. Try gaining more traffic, more link, get some cheap form of advertising at other blogs, get listed on blog directories, guest blog at other popular sites, do SEO, concentrate on certain relevant anchor link text for your blog, experiment with placing of AdSense ads, etc. If you do all this right, you will be praising AdSense every month instead of looking for an alternative. Maybe then you will even earn $30-$40 a month with AdSense or even more, who knows?

Sukosaki: thanks for the link, I will be checking that out, as well as your blog :-)

bobbytoat: you are right in one respect, my traffic sucks, heh. It's my fault, as to date I have been fairly lazy about it, only really starting to work on it in the last few weeks. However, I really don't like the lack of control that I have with AdSense. My general consensus at this time is to watch and wait, but I do want some other revenue streams available to me, if for no other reason than not putting all my eggs in one basket.

Thanks for the fast repies :-)

Cheers, Marc

no problem, let me know if you need any help with affiliate marketing, i am learning more everyday

hi Marc,

I don't mean that you shouldn't get other streams of revenue, by all means go promote affiliate programs, go join paid to post programs and other non-contextual ads! What I am suggesting is not to ditch AdSense and go install other alternative contextual ads, having more than 1 contextual ads are not allowed too. Good luck on reaching the other $50

I'm new to all this and have recently put adsense on my blog. I will leave it there for a little while and am consider setting up a 2nd site to include more adsense. Will I keep it? Like someone said earlier in the post, it depends on the site. If for example I set up and SEO blog, the chances are I won'd include adsnse, why? Well the people visiting will be able to detect the adsense more easily and why would they click on it?

I'm not really happy with adsense. So from time totime I remove some ads and replace them with something moreinteresting) I have already tired of them
