I actually don’t use adsense or any similar kind of advertising revenue system on my site, based on my business model. I’m focused on selling my own products/services and those of partners/recommended resources, and so i just set up links, advertising and such direct as needed.

If your business model is focused on outside advertising I know there are also blog advertising systems/tools that will also give you ads to post on your site, such as http://www.blogads.com. I haven’t used these personally so can’t comment directly but have certainly seen others advertising via these systems on their sites.

Correction: I meant to write http://www.NotCable.net in my previous post. By the way, Tina, if you are not using Adsense for advertising revenue, what do you suggest using? Just curious.

I am having the same doubts about Google Adsense. I have a site, http://www.NotCable.com that gives direct links to great online programs for people who want to ditch their cable and watch movies and shows off the Internet on their HD TV set. But, like you, I don’t want people to leave the site. And, I admit I’m new at Adsense, but, based on research I’ve done – people report only getting 1 cents per click, sometimes only $4 per 1,000 clicks. So, if you do a little math, and you estimate that only 10% of the visitors click on an ad, that means you will need to attract 10,000 visitors to your site to potentially earn only $4. Again, I’m new at this – but, I also find it strange that Google is very secretive about how much they pay and are reluctant to release statistics (they just say – try it and find out!). I’ve never heard of a business deal that says, “help us do something and you might get paid – try it out and see if you do!”

I totally agree with you about your comment on Adsense. It makes sense to me that visitors click on an Adsense ad and they are gone from your site. But how many people out there have come around to this line of thinking? From what I know, many are just googling about Adsense and how they can make tons of mollahs.
