Hi.., I’m maintaining (not writing) sowandso.com. We’re just starting but there is a lot of good content being written (no really, I think they’re doing a great job). We’re looking at affiliates, and have some, and working hard to invade the social platforms. It is going rather well.., slowly, but surely (been at it for 7 or so months).

One thing we try to do now is optimize AdSense. It is said that money can be made.., we just need to figure out how to place it best, without it being annoying.

Does anybody has some general advice.., or even better.., specific advice for our blog?

Thanks!

@kristi-hines Thanks Kristi.., I’m surprised at the number of replies (only the one).., and hardly any topic on AdSense.Is it even worth it spending time and energy on it.For us, so far, it hasn’t, but traffic is still low. And we don’t want to ‘scare off’ anybody with the ugly AdSense…

Question would be: Can it do more harm then good?

Furthermore…, I believe the blog can handle the placement as far as Google is concerned.., although the relevancy is questionable…

I have experimented with AdSense off and on, and to be honest, it doesn’t amount to much money unless you get a certain amount of traffic. It can also potentially harm your brand if people just think you are trying to advertise to them, so it has to be aligned with your website objectives as Kristi said. If you want to use them, in addition to Kristi’s great advice, just remember that above the fold is the prime area where ads seem to do best: Top Header, Sidebar above the fold, and Inside Content above the fold. Google will only allow you to show a maximum of 3 at one time, and that is usually a good guide should you decide to utilize them. Hope the advice helps!

I have a complete blog post on adsense do&don’t,good or bad.Read it here at
resellercliff.blogspot.com  My self i can not use them because i did not read the
fine print when i signed up,and i sent 1 of my websites through a safelist and they
suspended my account.Does not matter any way they are ugly ads.Also there are many companys with better advertising widgets.Try Linkshare

Hi Everyone,
               
                      What is responsible for drop in earnings. Any help Thanks!

Without the traffic to support it, Adsense is a black hole occupying space all over your site.
