o Should You Use Google Adsense On Your Web Pages?<\/b>
\n…….
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This week I received an email from Marlon Sanders since
\nI am a long-time subscriber to his Newsletter… and
\nin it he referred to a long discussion\/thread going
\non over at the WarriorForum. It is all about Google
\nAdsense and the thread was started by XFactor who
\nonly goes by the name of “John”.<\/p>\n

The title of this popular thread is called:
\n
\n6 Months Later: $300 Daily w\/Adsense (Lessons Learned)<\/b><\/p>\n


\nKeep in mind, this XFactor guy is, of course, plugging\/selling
\na $77 course entitled “Micro Niche Adsense Course”. So I have
\nlong learned to view anyone selling stuff on the web through my
\nbattle-weary and all too cynical eyes. I am extra critical of
\nwhat claims they make. You should do like-wise.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

However, this is a very interesting discussion and it
\nbrought back the whole issue of whether or not you
\nshould use Google Adsense on any of your sites or web
\npages?<\/p>\n

Now, I have been using Google Adsense on many of my web sites
\nand pages for years. I have become addicted to getting that
\nmonthly Adsense check from Google. I could arrange electronic
\npayment but I simply get a kick out of receiving that check,
\nmainly because years ago when I started earning income
\nfrom the web, it was the only check that impressed my family
\nand friends. It’s a bit hard to explain but it sort of made
\nall this web stuff “legit” in their eyes. Google has that power
\nover people!<\/p>\n

In many ways, using Google Adsense on my web pages doesn’t make
\nlogical marketing sense – why get 60 cents for a click when you
\ncan get 60 dollars instead by using an affiliate program. That is,
\nyou can often get 10 times, sometimes even 100 times more by using
\naffiliate links on your pages rather than Google Adsense.
\n
\nWhy use Google Adsense at all?<\/b>
\n
\nBesides the thrill of getting those monthly checks, I use
\nGoogle Adsense to mainly create another revenue stream on
\nmy pages in addition to my affiliate links. I know I am probably
\nlosing some sales to Adsense but on the other hand, Adsense
\nis a very steady consistent revenue stream that I know will
\nbe there each day.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Actually, it has been more consistent than any of my affiliate
\nprograms, it pays a lot less but at least my pages are making
\nsomething each day. It’s a “SureShot”.<\/p>\n

Another reason I use Adsense, I find it almost impossible to
\nfind affiliate programs for all my web pages, so simply placing
\nthat Adsense code on the page, monetizes that page for me.<\/p>\n

After years of using Adsense, I don’t believe it lowers the
\nquality of my pages, it’s just another component that my site
\nvisitors can use to find what they’re looking for. Since I
\nuse PPC advertising and Adwords – I know the deals and offers
\npresented thru Adsense are some of the most competitive
\noffers on the web. Nature of the beast.<\/p>\n

Adsense does serve a purpose, other than making money for Google,
\nit does give the consumer some of the best deals on the web
\nin my opinion.<\/p>\n

Now, whether or not you use Adsense on your pages is up to you…
\nI am mainly talking about affiliate links here… so if you’re
\nselling your own products on your site, why send those customers
\nto another store? Why get $3 a click, when you can earn $30?
\n
\nIt’s your call?<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nNow back to the WarriorForum and the Adsense thread by John
\nXFactor… I only read some of the thread before warning bells
\nstarted ringing in my head. I am not saying what this person
\nis saying is not true but please be extra careful and thoroughly
\ncheck out any claims before you buy any product on the web.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I have been at this web stuff for too many years and I know
\nthe only way to get really high click-through rates (CTR) with
\nGoogle Adsense is to trick your visitors into believing the
\nAdsense links are interior links\/clicks on your site. You camouflage
\nthem to fit seamlessly into your site.<\/p>\n

Create simple niche sites and then blend your links in at
\nthe very top of the page… your visitor will click these links
\nmore often than links buried on your pages.<\/p>\n

Some people think this is wrong to deceive your visitors in this
\nway, others think it is a great way to make money. In either
\ncase, the visitor is still taken to a great deal or site where
\nthey can find what they’re looking for on the web.
\n
\nAgain, it’s a judgment call on your part.<\/b>
\n
\nNiche sites do work and people do make money with Google
\nAdsense on them but my main question to this XFactor
\nguy – if you have quality organic search engine traffic
\nflowing to your pages, why not use affiliate links instead
\nof Google Adsense? <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

To be fair, this guy is using Amazon links on his pages,
\nand maybe he just likes getting those Adsense checks each
\nmonth, but in the back of my mind I couldn’t dismiss the feeling
\nthat he may be pushing Adsense in order to sell his course
\nor ebook.<\/p>\n

I couldn’t help but notice that the XFactor guy doesn’t
\nhave Google Adsense on his salesletter page for his
\nebook. Maybe he likes getting $77 instead of 77 cents
\nfor his clicks?<\/p>\n

But check out this thread for yourself, it has many
\ngood pointers and tips. Especially if you’re already using
\nAdsense on your web pages or are planning to use them in
\nthe future.
