Adsense is back

Posted by on Aug 6, 2011 in advertising, General, Internet, money | 0 comments

Well I have decided it is time to re-introduce Adsense to my blog in the hope of monetizing the site a little. To both help finance the site and also too give me some extra cash.

What is Adsense ?

Google AdSense is an ad serving application run by Google Inc. Website owners can enroll in this program to enable text, image, and video advertisements on their websites. These advertisements are administered, sorted, and maintained by Google, and they can generate revenue on either a per-click or per-impression basis. Google beta tested a cost-per-action service, but discontinued it in October 2008 in favor of a DoubleClick offering (also owned by Google). In Q1 2011, Google earned US$2.34 billion ($9.36 billion annualized), or 28% of total revenue, through AdSense.

I am going to experement a few different placements, within the layout. Firstly looking at the footer of the page, then moving onto the sidebar (placed roughly where the Adgitize ads are) then I am planning to work the Google Adsense ads into the posts to see how this works.

Entrecard – Paid Sponsors Review

As promised here is my review of the $25 sponsored ad on Entrecard, a system I had vowed to never use again. I will look at my own thoughts on the system but I will also give you thoughts and comparisons to my favourite advertising system – Adgitize.

Cost

First thing first, the cost of the Entrecard – Sponsored Ad did not really sound that unreasonable to me.  At $25 it is only $1 more than Adgitize but has a guaranteed number of views. The cost for me at first seemed to be good and it was nice to be sure of what I was actually going to get. The one issue I had was that although they gave a cost and number of impressions they left out the period of time that the ad was expected to run.

Ease Of Use
