Google Adsense or Yahoo Publisher Ads?
How do you decide which PPC sponsored ad programs to include on your webpages? There is alot of blogging going on about this subject. I have for the last several months stuck to my conclusion that if you use Google Adsense it will hurt you in the long run. Why? Read this article recently dugg about The nonsense about AdSense and it gives one persons account as to being shut down from Google Adsense for Click Fraud when he was not doing any of the fraud himself.
Click Fraud is a problem, Yes I am not denying that. What makes me mad is Googles lack of customer service in dealing with these kind of issues. The only response you will ever get out of Google is a canned pre-wrote mumbo jumbo and no one will ever address the real problem. Some good sites are getting penalized for other people doing bad things and the good sites are the ones getting punished and losing money. They will refuse to pay you money owed yet they still collecting money from the advertisers using thier same PPC Fraud infested services. I said this on another blog of mine recently, but I am not a Google hater. infact I really do love the search engine, but when it comes to this Adsense program something has to change and get better.
I use and will keep using (as long as they let me) Yahoo Publisher Ads. Not simply because the ads pay me better (which they do) but for the simple fact that they have customer service and I have talked with the person in charge of my account 4 times in the last year. Last several years of using Google Adsense the only interation I recieved from them was that they shut my account down and thats that. It was not even my fault it was shut down and they never gave any explanation. Again, this is the reason anyone I talk to I will recommend Yahoo Publisher Ads hands down before Google Adsense.
Here are some good Google Adsense Alternatives besides Yahoo: (keep in mind I recommend the Yahoo Publisher Ads over all)
