Experimenting With Google AdSense

Lots of websites display adverts on their pages. If these are well placed, they should not detract from the content. In fact, they should prove useful to visitors as they are relevant to the topic of the page being viewed.

However, these ads are a little bit 'Marmite' - people either love them or hate them.

I've decided to run my own little experiment with the Google AdSense (read more here...). There'll be a little block appearing at the end of each article - this way they won't interrupt your reading, but will let you click through to (hopefully) relevant sites. They'll also appear at the bottom of the side bar (again, out of the way).

Why display Google Ads at all?

Simple really, every time a visitor click an advert, the site owner gets paid (normally a few cents). It's another way of generating income as a site owner - though for your average blog, the income from this is negligible.

What do you think?

Though I enjoy writing these articles, the purpose of them is to provide valuable information to the reader. As one of my readers, I'd love to know your thoughts on the ads. Love them or hate them - let me know in the comments...
