Thread: Adsense on Blog

Adsense shows different kinds of ads depending on your tageted keywords and/or density of a word. They say having those ads could make you lose potential conversions. Question, do you still place adsense in your blogs, specially if the nature of your blog is selling a product or offering a service?

Adsense is emerging out to be a more user-friendly advertising program as the day progresses. I still go for that 768 size of ads on my blog.

Well i dont have a selling blog but most of the web owners who's main purose is to sell through website are not putting in adsense. The reason is that it could divert the traffic to other website and they are nothing to sell

I read somewhere that the google bot will read everything on your site, even the sider bar, so sometime the ads are not that targeted. There's some coding that you can add that tells the G bot where to go and what to you, thus preventing unwanted text to be read.

And the reply is yes, leads in this business are worth thousands in commission if you're adding adsense then you just have reduced them to mere pennies.
But who am I to talk. I have adsense on my site, but I'm not practising re or wriiting loans longer.

If you are selling a product or service I think adsesne ads are an obvious BAD idea because you are losing potential customers for a few cents worth of clicks.

Adsense ads should be placed on very large high traffic websites or sites made specifically to make money with adsense ads. They should not be on professional business service websites.

I utilize adsense on my blog and I think that any blogger looking to monetize their blog should. If you are not monetizing your blog, then don't.

See, the concept is that more visitors are going to leave your blog than stay. No doubt about that. The mindset of the person leaving may be that there is nothing on your site that they want, at that moment. So doesn't it make sense to potentially make a few cents on exiting traffic, who was exiting anyway, instead of getting nothng from that same exiting traffic.

Monetizing your blog is key. Adsense is a must...

The people who want what you have on your blog won't be interested in the adsense stuff anyway. They will stay on your site.

The idea is to make a little bit of money from people who are leaving.

You might have a point there. But then again if they clicked on the ads, it means either they are not interested in the content they see or the ads are not relevant to the blog's content. Which brings to the conclusion that the blog is probably driving in a general traffic or the article in the blog is not good enough in it's pre-selling technique which diverted the traffic to exit in the first place?

I suggest using adsense for those informative blogs only. If your blog is meant to sell then you shouldn't add adsense which will only display advertisement to other selling websites, and that was quite a competition.

You can put this stuff:
<!-- google_ad_section_start -->

<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

Before and after the content...and the ads will only target your posts

Personally I think adsense banners/ads make the entire site look cheap and devalues the information therein. A few extra cents? No, I'd rather keep my blog clean and mean.
