New Poll: I want your Adsense Advice
Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about Adsense and ad placements. Maybe its because Im reading too much Workboxers, or maybe Im just paranoid because my earnings have hit rock bottom. Either way I need to make a conclusive decision whether the ads are really working for me or not.
As a result, I need some feedback from you as the reader and user of this site. My basic dilemna is that I have too many ads and its starting to look ugly. I don’t mind the text links in the header, as they seem to have been converting well in the past and apparently they are actually quite useful for people browsing sites and wanting to do a bit of research. On the other hand, I might have too few ads, but I definitely don’t think that’s a feasible answer!
Im also wondering what you think about the ads at the end of posts: the ones with the black and grey text. Do they appeal to you? Do you think any of the ads are actually useful to you as an entrepreneur or internet browser?
I’ve also been toying with whether to completely scrap Google Adsense. The reason I say this is because today I received my first payment from an advertising company – Text Link Ads. All I did was refer someone to use the Publisher program at TLA and I received $25. This was about 2 minutes work and it already equalled half of my total Adsense earnings for 8 months! That just shows you how much alternative forms of advertising can make.
Im also waiting at the moment for my site to get into the search engines properly. I was talking to a TLA representative and he said that it would take at least 3 months for my pages to get indexed in Google. I’ve had some search engine queries coming to my site so that’s a positive, but I’ve still got 1 more month to wait. Then after that, I can become a proper publisher and start selling links on my site. People like Yaro and Workboxers have had a lot of success with that and make around $200 per month after the cut – if I could do that, it would be awesome! Think about it, $2400 a year!
So please take a few seconds and fill out the poll at the top of the left hand sidebar. It will really be helpful to me so I know what you guys are looking for as Blogtrepreneur is constantly looking to reinvent and move with the times. I appreciate your advice!
