Most webmasters especially bloggers are so focused on making money by displaying AdSense ads on their blogs they forget there are much more ways to monetize other than AdSense.
Yes, they still think that AdSense is the best thing after sliced bread. I don’t mean to shock you but AdSense is one of the worst methods to make money from blogs.
Auction Ads would make a better monetization method than AdSense for various reasons.
Images are provided by auctions, AdSense no longer allow publishers to put a photo too near to the text ads.
Displayed live eBay auctions are based on the keyword you select, AdSense select your ads for you & you’ve got no control over what ads show up. (Even the irrelevant ads show up regularly.)
Auction Ads are great for keeping your visitors on your site! You can make the ads open in a new browser, so when visitors close the auction browser, they’re back at your blog & instantly there’s a new live auction which they might want to bid on!
Wow! You now got more than one opportunity to get paid! AdSense ads don’t open in a new browser, you get paid a few cents, your visitor leaves & totally forget about you, usually they don’t come back.
Then again AdSense will always be around because most webmasters are simply lazy to open their eyes to better opportunities rather than just AdSense.
You can actually benefit by buying AdSense ads as an advertiser, sending them to your blog then showing auction ads.
You might want to switch your AdSense over to Auction Ads & test if it pays better. Then you might stick what pays you best. Different audience in different markets respond differently, so some prefer Auction Ads, some prefer AdSense. You’ll never know until you test.
