"AdSense is Stupid When..."

> 2. SEO Business Sites

If your livelihood depends on search engine optimization ormarketing for a living you might want to think twice aboutdisplaying AdSense Ads on your site. I can tell you this frompersonal experience. I once was on top of MSN for search enginemarketing in my local area. I concentrated on my local areabecause I found people felt more comfortable hiring an eCommerceconsultant locally.

One day my site fails totally out of the MSN index. Afterintense study I noticed that I obviously had a filter on my sitefrom MSN.

I analyzed all the top ranking sites in MSN and noticed the only

In fact I noticed that there were no sites with AdSense ads forat least the first 3 pages. Plus the sites with AdSense wereonly using 1 ad unit at the bottom of the home page (there were

I knew it was strange to not have AdSense ads on the topInternet marketing sites. This prompted me to scan otherindustries where I noticed the same trend.

Many of the leading SEO gurus have sites that have been bannedfrom the top listings by the search engines. It seems the morevisible you become, the more of a target your sites are to the

Some of my sites are still on the top of MSN with AdSense adsbut that doesn't mean they won't also be targets in the future.

Let's face the facts. MSN and Yahoo! have competing ad networksto Google's, and this competitive situation is rife for apotential backlash against SEO sites with AdSense ads.

Many SEOs will point to exceptions to this position. Howeveryou have been warned!

Think about it, how long will MSN and Yahoo! sit back and watchSEO driven websites use their search indexes to fund Google'Did you know SEO in MSN and Yahoo(!) --- is much easier toobtain.

Therefore optimized sites are creating an ad sales wealth

If you are in the search engine business stay search engineneutral, or create multiple sites for different search engines.

> 3. When AdSense Becomes Your Only Business Model

When you become so myopic in your thinking that you build abusiness solely on AdSense revenue -- think again my friend.Why build a business solely on the largess of Google'

I don't know if your realize it or not, but the sites making thereal big AdSense money usually have a following that doesn'tdepend on the search engines. Internet mavens like ChrisPirillo or Joel Comm have been on the Internet a while and havefollowings for their websites. Therefore they can consistentlymake six figures with AdSense.

If you do a search on most keywords you will notice many of thetop ranking sites are news sites, .gov sites, or .org sitesthese days. The only exception is in industries where thesesites don't really exist like eCommerce industries (clothing,shopping, etc.).

No doubt in most industries you will notice a conspicuousscarity of AdSense sites in the top rankings. In other wordsdon't bet your future fortunes on AdSense.

An IPO based on projections of AdSense revenue isn't in thefuture for the average eBusiness. Think of Google AdSense assupplemental income. Building a business solely on AdSenserevenue isn't just silly -- it's just plain stupid.
