Comments on: The Radical Blogger is Back http://myradicalblogs.com/index.php/2007/11/11/the-radical-blogger-is-back/ If I offend anyone - tough Sun, 12 Jun 2011 16:31:49 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: shirley http://myradicalblogs.com/index.php/2007/11/11/the-radical-blogger-is-back/comment-page-1/#comment-186 shirley Thu, 15 Nov 2007 06:08:14 +0000 http://myradicalblogs.com/?p=90#comment-186 I think the adsense thing only works if people who come to your site are actually looking for something specific. For example, if I am looking for widgets, hacks, templates, and other blog stuff, I'll click on any ad that might show me something new or interesting. I have a picture blog, and if someone is surfing for pictures for a specific purpose, or if they are bored... probably the ads will get clicked.... If they came because they love the site, and are curious about what the heck got posted today, chances are that the pictures will get looked at, and no ads will get clicked. On my other blogs, where people come specifically to read my content, the ads don't get clicked at all. Which is something I also do ... I get single minded - I read the content, leave a comment if I feel inclined, and that's about it. Also, if you are attracting readers through Blog Catalog and other blog networks, what happens is people are mainly interested in promoting themselves. They visit, and comment so that you will see that they were there, and then they move on to the next blog and the next and the next and the next... And if you are trying to visit as many blogs as possible, taking time out to visit adsense links is out of the question, and going on a shopping spree - who has time for that when you are busily surfing a gagillion blogs? Sometimes, those people will really like your content, and they might subscribe. That's what I do, if I see a blog that has a lot of interesting stuff, I subscribe to their feed and visit them via email - or on my home page. Whic, of course means that now none of the ads will even be seen by me. I think the adsense thing only works if people who come to your site are actually looking for something specific.

I tried to sign up with PPP but was not old enough at the time and I am just not sure if I want to do paid posts. thanks for the rave review.

Well adsense is doing better on mine. The secret of it is you must have enough traffic to burst it up. Good Luck on your site :D Haven’t tried PPP only their affiliates.
