The nonsense about AdSense
Benjamin Cohen, the former teenaged dot.com millionaire, has run into a problem as he tries to make his next million: Google won’t pay him for ads run on his website
Google AdSense lies at the heart of Google’s advertising empire. AdSense ads are the funny little text boxes that are scattered across the internet, displaying links related to the content on a web page. For many sites, AdSense has become the sole source of income, with some small one man band publishing outfits claiming to make in excess of $100,000 through showing the adverts. AdSense also amounts to some 43 per cent of Google’s total revenue.
However, my own experience of the program has been less than favourable.

From day one, I integrated Google AdSense adverts on to PinkNews.co.uk. It instantly provided advertising that was both relevant to my readers and that fitted into the context of the website. In addition, I was able to weed out advertisers that I didn’t want my brand to be associated with, such as pornography and dating.
Sure enough, a couple of months later, a cheque for a couple of hundred pounds arrived from Google, which was duly banked and the funds cleared. So far, so good.
But a couple of days later, I was informed by e-mail that my AdSense account had been terminated due to “click fraud”, and that I would receive no further payments and be unable to use Google’s advertising products again.
Click fraud is where people or programs – automated robots, or ‘bots – click on your to an advertising link in an attempt to defraud either or both the advertiser and Google. Click fraud experts tend to run up huge levels of traffic, generating thousands of clicks and each may cost a particular advertiser in excess of £10,000.
What do you think about this? Care to comment? how do you manage your adsense account? How do you feel about Google using your data?
I don’t mind Google using my data. It’s getting to the point where you have to pick your battles (like with the kids.)
Only my b5 blog uses adsense. I use other monetization methods on my other blogs – mostly affilaite stuff, because I’m really scared of AdSense. I don’t know where the ads go – I can’t verify the authenticity of the company paying for the ad, and if Google decides I’m a fraud (even if they’re wrong) – I’m out of luck.
