Most recently I have seen a lot of debate going on in various internet marketing forums on the subject of “Ad Sense”.
Some believe its OK to run ads and banners on a blog, while others believe its Ok to do so on niche blogs whereas Authority blogs should remain clean with content and messages.
Here is a small video that I recorded to answer this question. My strong feel is if you are running adsense on your blog do so with a big heart. Show the ad where people can see and click, do not hide them. Also do not ruin the content by placing them in the middle of the post.
Please see the video and let me know your thoughts!
For your Continued Success!

Word To Word Transcription Of The Video
Friends ! This is Srini Saripalli and I welcome you to SuccessEngineer.com and on this video recording today I want to share with you one question and I want to answer that one question that I had been repeatedly getting using Adsense on blogs. Well I personally don??™t use Adsense on my authority blog. And the reason behind that is there is nothing wrong in using Adsense. But I want to give a good clear reading experience for all my visitors, all my subscribers when they come to my blog. My content is very important and I want to project my content.
Now do I see other people using Adsense ? Other experts, other Gurus in the market? In the internet business who are running Adsense on their sites ? The answer is Yes. They do. And they do it in a way it goes and blends very well with the website. So if you plan to use your Adsense on your authority blog, authority website, then you blend it in such a way that it looks very natural with the site.
And #2. I see a lot of people who run Adsense but they put it in the footer of the post or very low below on the website. Well it is counter productive. If you have an ad, you want to put the ad in a place where the people can see and click through so that you can make money. But if you show it some where below, some where down, you will get page impressions but you don??™t get any conversions. So I highly recommend that you put it some where, where people can see and click. You don??™t need to be ashamed about it. So what I do personally? I have blogs and websites where I do run Adsense but those are not representing who I am. On my authority site I don??™t run any Adsense.
I do have some ads here and there in bits and pieces but that is primarily testing but not to make any money out of it. Well if I make a lot of money out of it that is well and good but the purpose is not to make money through ads. The purpose of my authority site is to project yourself and to tell people who you are what you do so people can gravitate around you, people can come to you and you provide value and in the process money happens in the back end not in the front end. So that being said I wish you all the best. Do check out Adsense see other programs similar to Adsense that exist in the market and try and play with them, do your testing and see which one converts, which pays out well. There are some programs which pay better than Google Adsense.
So try them out. Do lot of testing and stick to the program that pays you well and converts well. Best of luck. Thank you.
