The end of AdSense sweatshop?

Published on 4 August, 2006 in learning process, on the net and sharing experience. 2 Comments

Increasingly publishers are turning away from what they feel is the “Google’s AdSense Sweatshop“.

And it is not that they are not making money. They are making as much as $10,000 a month. A figure many of us revenue seekers wouldn’t even dream of making.

What is happening? I hate to see the bubble burst, since I myself had just jumped on the bandwagon. But is this really the end?

The arguments are centered around 3 major points

  1. Publishers can make more money with the visitors then sending them away.
  2. Publishers are at the mercy of companies like Google.
  3. Publishers has to do lot of work and even resort to trickery. Even then they cannot control factors like search engine ranking.

Join the conversation.

  • Do you think it is wrong to make money from Adsense?
  • Are there more money to be made elsewhere?
  • How do you decide to use Adsense or create products?

Am I banned by Google search?

STOPLately I had been researching about Google search ban (dropped from the index), how to identify and get unbanned.

One of my site, Analytic Insight had not appear in Google’s index. In the beginning, I thought it was just a delay. Then I think something must be wrong.

(UPDATE: After writing this, I checked again, it is now appearing in the index. False alarm but a good learning experience.)

Another of my site, Free Biz Ware already appears in the index and it was launched later.

I actually did not do much SEO for both sites. Google sitemap was submitted for both.

Looking at Google’s official webmaster Help Center did not yield much information

What went wrong?

The biggest lie about Making Money Online

Published on 22 July, 2006 in learning process and the dark truth. 3 Comments

The biggest lie floating around Making Money Online goes like this

If I can do it so can you.

This is what some “famous marketers” are using to get to you to buy their “ebook”. It is an outright lie.

Why?

Simply because the fact that someone can do it does not mean that you can. This is a logical fallacy.

So think about it when you see sites or advertisements with message like this:

  • “I make $99,999 with Adsense, so can you.“
  • “I make $88,888 with Affiliates, you can too.“

In the end who is making more money? You or the guy selling you the information?

If they are already making so much with Adsense, why are they spending so much time and trying so hard to sell you the information?

There are enough free resources that give you the same thing. The next time you pull out your credit card to buy one of those, think again. Do not be the next fool.
