Hi,

I like the post although I was wondering if Google is still ok with this technique?

Hey Brad, interesting technique! AdSense is great, but lately I've been making more with Chitika. In fact, over the last year I compiled some statistics of my earnings and I actually earned twice as much with Chitika compared to AdSense. For those of you curious about Chitika, check out this Chitika review for more info and some cool screenshots.

To World Experts, I too found no problem with communicating with the Google Ad Sense team, and even got human, manually typed out answers in most cases. UNTIL they decided to close my account, in a similar situation to ‘AdSense Sucks’ above, when they stopped replying, until eventually I got VERY standardised cut’n'paste jobs in reply, which didn’t actually respond to any of my points.
Whilst I wouldn’t tell someone to stop using AdSense, I WOULD look at other schemes, and decided which to switch to, should the worse happen, and look into the possibility of PPL/PPS schemes instead of just PPC – it all depends on your sites, obviously, but it can’t harm to have a few sources for your income, should the worse happen to one of them.

Google burned me good with AdSense. I had been running their contextual text links on a half dozen of my sites.. after I had earned about $400, they sent me some lame “invalid clicks” email which looked like it wasn’t even written by a human. I had no idea what they were talking about, and offered to fix the problem.. they ignored my responses and I never saw the money.

I would avoid AdSense like the plague. I googled around about this, and it seems to happen to a lot of people, and always when it’s getting close to payout time.

I’ve since swapped out all my CPC adsense ads with CPA ads from AzoogleAds. ( http://www.azoogleads.com/az/new/agreement.php?i=5487 ) .. I’m making WAY more money with them, and the checks show up on time every month when they’re supposed to. No lame excuses or reps hiding under their desks.

I have earned over $200,000 USD lifetime with them, and I’ve been paid on time every time. I would strongly suggest that folks check them out, and quit running adsense before you get burned too. It’s quite unpleasant to drive in thousands of legitimate clicks over the course of months, and get screwed by google when it comes time to square up.

I’d like to mention that I’m not an employee of AzoogleAds, nor am I trying to spam their name out.. I just think they’re a rock solid Internet marketing agency, and they’ve never burned me like google did.. even on 5 figure checks.

Two Thumbs Up!

I’ve tried doing this on my site because I have no textual content.

it seems I had a lot of clicks at first, then it just stopped. now i have no clicks.

Is that the URL that you see in the browser location bar? If so, nifty. Does it also require the word to appear in the element of the HTML page (as it might in a dynamic web page)?

Hi,
I’m the developer of FeedTagger and you’ve done well to work out what’s happening. In actual fact I’ve gone beyond just keywords now, I can get google to build a targeted advert for any item in an RSS feed ;) – I haven’t deployed it completely, but may in the near future.

BTW: I was fairly confident I wasn’t going against the Google terms, but handy to know for sure!

Cheers,
Chris
