Does Google Adsense Make Business Sense?

This Article Discusses What Google Adsense is About. Adsense Can Help You.But It Can Also Be Very Frustrating at Times

"Adsense", Adsense, Adsense! When a person talks about Internet marketing and Pay-per-click advertising, Google Adsense pops up in most of our minds. Can we be blamed? It is Adsense by 'Google the Internet Almighty'.

I am a little skeptical about Adsense. Let me tell you why. I have known 4 people (in person), who almost reached payout with Adsense, and their accounts got banned. They had obviously worked hard at reaching the payout. I felt bad for them as I knew reaching payout had taken a lot of time. They knew the Terms of agreement of Google Adsense very well.They had put up the Adsense Ads on their blog. If they did not know the Terms of service, they would never have reached the payout. They never clicked their own ads or cheated in any way. One day all of a sudden, Adsense just banned them. What went wrong is still a mystery. No explanation was provided by Google or the Adsense support team.

This made me ask myself does Adsense make business sense in the long term?

It obviously does not take too much effort. All one really needs to do is sign up for the Adsense account and wait for approval. Once the account is approved, write good content. Thus, appropriate Adsense ads are shown. Then all you do is hope that people click.

I see so many people with Adsense Ads on blogs. Most of us know how these Ads work. I for one, never look at the Ads. Do you? I just have a few thing to say to you all.

I pray that Adsense helps you. I hope that all my friends here and other places benefit from this Pay-per-click advertising program. But I also want you to think of Adsense as a bonus prize. A sort of perk that you may or may not get. This is just so if Adsense bans anyone (God forbid), you don't get too frustrated.

I know that people have succeeded with Adsense, but we must not forget the ones who did not. I don't say,'Adsense won't work, be a pessimist.' All I say is hope for the best and prepare for the worst.

    I also used AdSense, and I saw no results. I don't recommend it!!

    I used Adsense, but it just took so long to make a few cents :P I don't think I've made enough to actually get money!

    I have looked at Adsense on more than one occasion and each time for some unknown reason I have not completed the application, articles like this help me to feel like it was the correct decision.

    You have to remember to never log into your site from a public comp. It will add that ISP account, and if anyone else checks your site from that comp and clicks an add.... banishment. Other computers in your home use the same ISP account as well.

    Without a lot of pages and a lot of traffic, it's true, you're just spinning your wheels with these ad programs

    I'm a little skeptical about Adsense as well. Of course, nobody reads my blogs or looks at the delicious images, so I am nowhere near deserving of any 'prize' from Google.

    Sounds like a scam to me.

    Tried and failed. Oh well, cheers.
