Why you shouldn’t use AdSense

Let’s face it.  You are looking for a quick, easy and quite possibly lazy way to monetize your blog/website.   So you sign up for Google’s AdSense, Yahoo, Bidvertiser, etc.  You are subsequently banned from said programs for any number of TOS violations, including, clicking on your own ads.

If you are an AdSense publisher you more than likely do not have a steady waterfall of traffic coming into your blog(well unless your John Chow or John Cow for that matter).  AdSense makes even some of the top blogs such as Blog About Your Blog very little.  AdSense all depends on placement, and traffic which not all blogs have.  Note, I am generalizing this to AdSense but the same standards apply to all the other CPC programs.

CPC programs also have a set payout schedule you must meet.  X amount before you are paid out, we are not sure when you will reach that amount.  It is uncertain and you can find yourself gaining a lot of earnings and then all of a sudden…you lost all of it because your account has been banned.  Do not get caught in the CPC scam, there are plenty of other much easier ways to monetize your blog!
