Google AdSense = Annoying Web Pages.
You’ve seen them. Web sites, specifically blogs, that cover their pages with Google AdSense adverts. It’s the same format that Google uses on their ‘Sponsored Links’ sidebar. But now bloggers can use this crap on their own. Google Ads are generated by specific keywords found within the web pages content. Then, when a visitor is lured away by clicking on a Google link, the web master gets paid (from Google – who gets paid by the advertiser). For sites that have large volumes of visitors, this can mean big bucks a month. Or so they say.
AdSense is has become the new, irritating ‘flash banner’. Instead of having a blinking, shaking, moving banner to get my attention, bloggers now load large amounts of Ad Sense links, sometimes disquised as content, and it’s hard to tell where the blog ends and advertising begins. Some blogs are set up soley for this reason. And yes, if you were wondering if anyone has found a way to scam this system of ‘click-throughs’, there is an interesting and thorough article on the subject here: JoelOnSoftware.com – “Something Rotten in AdSense“
