Adsense advantages and disadvantages!!! - google' s adsense is a superb revenue generating opportunity for small, medium and large web sites. AdSense ads are similar to the AdWords ads you see on the right - hand side at Google when you do a search there. Some webmasters are designing brand new sites specifically for serving AdSense text ads. (It' s against the AdSense rules to design a site purely for AdSense, so you' ll want to include a few affiliate links or sell your own product, too. ) AdSense allows you to serve text - based Google AdWords on your web site and receive a share of the pay - per - click payment.
AdSense is having a huge impact on the affiliate marketing industry. - weak affiliate merchants will die faster than ever. It' s often much easier to generate revenue from AdSense than from an affiliate program. If you' re a merchant running a lousy affiliate program, now' s the time to improve it FAST. It' s easy to paste a bit of code into your pages. AdSense' s advantages: AdSense is simple to join. It' s free to join.
Google provides well written, highly relevant ads - chosen to closely match the content on your pages. - you don' t have to spend time finding advertisers. You don' t have to waste time choosing different ads for different pages. You' re free to concentrate on providing good content and Google does the work of finding the best ads for your pages from 100, 000 AdWords advertisers. You don' t have to mess around with different code for various affiliate programs. It' s suitable for beginners or marketing veterans.
If you have affiliate links on your site, you ARE allowed to add AdSense ads. - adsense provides simple, easy - to - understand stats. However, with your affiliate links, you must not mimic the look and feel of the Google ads. You can also block strong competitors. You can filter up to 200 URLs, so you can block ads for sites that don' t meet your standards. Inevitably, AdSense is competing strongly for space on web sites with all other revenue sharing opportunities.
If you own several sites, you need apply only once. - if you own a small web site you can plug a bit of adsense code into your site and almost instantly relevant text ads that are likely to appeal to your visitors will appear on your pages. This makes AdSense much simpler than joining a bunch of affiliate programs. Disadvantages: One problem is inappropriate ads. As you can see, I' m really keen on this revenue sharing service. You don' t want spammy junk advertised on your site. You can filter out 200 URLs, but in some industries that won' t be enough.
Google' s standards probably aren' t as high as yours. - the stats google supplies are inadequate. However, they don' t tell you exactly which ads people are clicking on, or which keywords are involved. They' re easy to understand at a glance. That' s frustrating. The ad panels say" Ads by Google" - free advertising for Google.
Also, I' d like to be able to identify and block ads that have very low payout rates, without doing a lot of sleuthing and messing around. - you don' t earn anything if someone clicks on that link. That won' t worry experienced webmasters. The minimum payout is$ 100, which is regarded as too high by sites which don' t receive much traffic. Also, sites that want to display AdSense ads may not include" other content - targeted and/ or text - based ads on the pages displaying AdWords ads. " However, human beings review the sites. Another disadvantage is that Google doesn' t allow you to share your stats with other webmasters.
Rejected sites have been able to appeal successfully. - the adsense terms and conditions say: "confidentiality. Web site owners need to be able to share such information and discuss successes and failures. You agree not to disclose Google Confidential Information without Google' s prior written consent. 'Google Confidential Information' includes without limitation: . (b) click - through rates or other statistics relating to Site performance in the Program provided to you by Google. " That' s really weird. A big disadvantage of the service is that Google doesn' t say how much its AdSense partners will receive. Only a company with the goodwill and respect Google has earned could get away with such a cheeky offer. You' ll just receive an unknown share of the revenue.
Google says: "How much will I earn through this program? - this means that advertisers pay only when users click on ads. The AdWords ads you are able to display on your content pages are cost - per - click( CPC) ads. You' ll receive a portion of the amount paid for clicks on AdWords ads on your website. If you want to bail out, all you have to do is remove the code from your site. Although we don' t disclose the exact revenue share, our goal is to enable publishers to make as much or more than they could with other advertising networks. " So the only way to know how much you' ll earn is to try it and see.
Don' t put all your eggs in the AdSense basket. - some webmasters who claim total innocence have had this happen to them. If Google discovers fraudulent clicks on ads appearing on your pages, it can dump your site from the service, and refuse to pay you all revenue owed. Google has made several changes to its AdSense FAQ, clarifying varying things. I' ve done so, and checked with Google that it' s OK in my case. For example, it IS possible to apply for separate accounts for separate web sites.
Read the rules - they look ambiguous to me. - some time after the launch of adsense, google added" channels" which improve the tracking. If in doubt, ask first! I strongly recommend that you experiment with these.
