Do You Suffocate Your Blog With Ads?

Written by Mega Champ on November 16, 2008 – 8:28 pm -

Well to be honest i was lured into putting adsense ads all around my one website hoping i will earn more money. As my website is around 3 months old, it was not giving me 100′s of dollars a day but yes with around minimum 1000 page views per day, i was getting around $1-$2 on a daily basis. Which is not bad for a new website, as i am not very expert in monetizing my site.

I write my own content and really want to help people by my site. And seeing the traffic increasing on my site gives me assurance that the work i am doing is being noticed. But yesterday i was checking out my site and thought, if i am a person coming from outside and reading posts, is my reading experience hampered by all the ads around the posts. And the answer was a a big “YES“, ads block ruin the user experience if not done correctly.

Personally if i visit some blog and posts are stuffed with ads, it really puts me off, and makes a impression that the guy is only writing for money. So, i decided to remove almost every ad sense unit from my blog, just keeping one small unit, which will not hinder the post reading in any way.

So, no ads on that website until i learn to do it in a proper way. And about ads on this site, well they will also move in coming days.
