Wot? No Google Ads
You know how we all like to earn extra money, and particularly if we don't have to do any work for it.
That's why Google Ads does so well (OK, so I like stating the obvious!). This has lead me to consider, on more than one occasion, displaying Google Ads here on this blog.
But the problem is that I have a tendency to offer advice and insights on Web hosting here. Now, if I had Google Ads running they could display adverts from hosting companies that I may not be happy to deal with. So why would I invite readers to use them. See the conflict of interest issue? Not difficult.
And it isn't just Web hosting either, so it looks like blog is going to remain Google Ad free.
Has anyone else had similar thoughts about this? I'd be interested to know.

Hi Richard - I tried earning with Google Adsense however my friends and family did too many clicks on the ads. These were of course invalid and violated the terms and conditions so my account was disabled. I appealed but was refused reinstatement.
I had worked very hard to understand the principles and I had earned $66 over about 2 weeks so you can imagine how disappointing this was. Do you know of any alternatives?
Hi Pat - Google will come down heavily if it thinks the adsense system is being abused by false clicking, which is what has happened in your case. And this no doubt is the reason you earned your $66 in two weeks.
The only advice I can offer is to set up another adsense account using completely different details, and then don't allow yourself or others to abuse Google's rules.
As to other advert renue generating schemes you could try Yahoo.
Best of luck!
