Using Adsense: Viable Income or Utopian Dream?

Last Update: August 17, 2011

I think the idea of using Adsense is still an easy way of making a little bit of passive income. You set up a website or blog, open an adsense account, place  the ads in a strategic but out of the way space, people see the ad, click on the ad and poof...money goes into your adsense savings bank. At least that's the way it's supposed to work. I know it works, because I've seen it work.

People wouldn't be selling e-books, courses, and the other stuff on 'How to Make a  place amount here Dollars with Adsense'. Not if they want to promote any future products. Of course, these are the same people who rarely or never disclose the amount of blogs, sites and mini sites they actually own devoted to adsense.

There are other people who say "Adsense sucks bathwater.  Every time I see a website or a blog with adsense on it, I immediately click away from it. I can make more money placing one affiliate ad on my blog/website."

I don't know.

I wish I could find "proof in the pudding", so to speak. It would make things a whole lot easier in deciding if I want to use adsense or not. I own about 4, maybe 5 blogs and as soon as I find, update, and get them all up and running again I am going to experiment a bit. I'm going to put adsense on 3 and affiliate ads on the other 2 see how things work out.

So, what do you think about using adsense?
Do you use adsense?
Does it make you any money?
If you see adsense or other ads on a blog or website, do you click away and go somewhere else?

Let me know what you think about the use of adsense.

In the meantime,I'm off in search for my 3 missing blogs..

Have a real nice day today and a better day tomorrow.

Peace.

I think it depends on the niche. Some work better with adsense than others, some would convert better with affiliate links. I've seen physical product niches monetized with adsense - personally I'd rather put an amazon link there, don't know if adsense works that well there. Hope you find your blogs (how do you lose a blog btw?) and post your findings, looking forward to that! :D
