Comment on Fighting Adblock by Tom

Me, that is, to a large degree quite true. But, it only actually works if *all* websites play that way.
I personally don’t like using adblock, but some adverts just irritated me so much I couldn’t bare to see them again (“one weird old trick a 57 year old mom used to look 17″).
God, how exactly would you like content publishers to earn money? Erect a paywall around their websites? Adverts are good. Adverts let you view things that cost more than you’re willing to pay, for a price you are willing to pay, in the case of the internet free, in the case TV, not very much

I think you’re tackling the wrong end of the stick, the reason why most people use adblock is not because they hate all ads, it’s because they hate being bombarded with numerous colourful, full screen overlays. popups and worse of all automatic video/sound that plays without you doing anything.

If advertisers restricted themselves to 1 or 2 ads a page, in the corner away from the main content and left any video/sounds to be played only at the behest of the person viewing the site lost of people wouldn’t bother with adblock.

Comment on Important Rules of Adsense that you should be careful about by HanaDaddy

Frank, Thank you for your insight. I agree with you 100% but the thing is that Adsense is just easier ,more attractive , and effective to use compared to other AD services. If anybody is who is following the Google’s guideline properly, they don’t have anything to worry about using Adsense.

Comment on Important Rules of Adsense that you should be careful about by Frank Haywood

If you were thinking of using AdSense, think again.

NEVER use AdSense to monetise your sites.

It has the lowest return of any online monetisation method which after a few weeks is enough to turn most people away from making money on the web. The days of big cash from Google through AdSense are looong gone.

Instead, depending on the relevancy to your site, find a product on ClickBank and earn dollars per average click instead of cents. Or again, if it’s relevant to your niche then use the eBay Partner Network, or Amazon.

But if you must use AdSense, remember this…

Every time you build a new site and put AdSense on it, you run the increasing risk of having ALL your sites de-indexed.

Why?

If Google come up with some new rules like all advertising companies do from time to time, and just one of your sites breaks those rules, then Google knows all of the other sites in your network too because you’ve used the same AdSense ID on all of them and they’re an easy to find target.

At best, Google will then close your account down, at worst Google will de-index all your sites.

For the very same reason you shouldn’t do the second biggest mistake most newbies fall for, and that’s to use Google Analytics.

Again, all your sites are easy to find and de-index because you’ve very kindly identified them all to Google. If one site breaks their rules, all your others are history too.

Remember, Google thinks nothing of your privacy and is building a huge database of your habits. Google cares about Google, not about you.

To recap, what I’m saying is, by all means use Google for traffic, but that’s where the relationship should end. Find better monetisation sources and avoid using any Google services including mail.
