Increasing AdSense revenue

[Brian Turner]

Here's a really interesting article on how to potentially increase your Adsense revenue - by blocking out low-paying Made For AdSense sites:

AdSense Revenue Increases 200% by filtering MFA sites

The main domain is currently offline, but you can find the beta version here:
AdsBlackList.com - Filter them and increase your revenue !

According to discussion at DigitalPoint, this seems to have a real impact on income:
AdSense Revenue Increases 200% by filtering MFA sites.

I'm currently testing this out - just added the list to my competitive filter and will see if it helps with my Adsense income - not that it's all that high at the moment.

Do you have any thoughts on the recent Google Slap, AdWords Smart Pricing, the "death" and "life" of AdSense debate?

[Brian Turner]

I'm afraid my own PPC experience is very limited, so I can't really comment on the Smart Pricing debate.

As for AdSense - well, let's put it this way - my AdSense income this month is 25% of what it was a year ago. I no longer treat it as a significant revenue stream and have been removing it from my sites. For lower traffic sites especially it doesn't seem a fair deal to advertisers.

That is an interesting concept. Thanks for those. I'm still working on making Adsense a viable income stream for my websites. I'm making 2 times what I was making last month - which is still piddling - but better!
