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?

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?

Collection of Creative Adsense Placement

Users are getting immuned to Adsense ads because it is getting too common. Many are simply not looking on them or are subconsciously shutting them off.

What can you do as an Adsense publisher?

If visitors are not looking at ads, they are certainly not clicking it. If they are not clicking it, you are not getting revenue.

One way to deal with this is to be creative with ads placement. Instead of just sticking an ads anywhere, place it creatively to attract attention (or reduce attention as the case maybe).

Here I look at some examples I had collected from my surfing around other people’s site. Maybe they can inspire you.
