Google Adsense Sucks?
How Much Money Can I Earn From Google AdSense?
by: Fernando Hal
3 years ago, Google Adsense was pronounced dead. Critiques claim that due to click-frauds, advertisers will all flock to Cost Per Action advertisements.
Cost Per Action advertisements (CPA ads)
CPA ads are advertisements where you’ll be paid when a visitor of your website do the required action. CPA ads includes cost per lead ads, or cost per sign-up ads. Affiliate sales is one type of CPA ads, more specifically a cost per sales, where you’ll be paid for successful sales made by the advertiser to your site visitors.
There is definitely some truth about how CPA ads would change the advertising landscape. Even Google tried it’s hand on the CPA ads, eventhough without much success and later withdrawn the Google Referral programme.
Three years on, CPA ads dominates the Internet and blogosphere, with celebrities bloggers all declare that affiliate sales has eclipsed earning from Google Adsense.
Is Google Adsense dead?
However, Google Adsense programme is still very much alive and kicking. It is still the easiest advertisement network available across almost all types of websites (with exceptions to the adult, warez, or hyip sites), without any minimum traffic requirement.
I have used Google Adsense programme since I started in the quest of earning money online 3 years ago. Nowadays, I have left my day job, and lead comfortable life, work on my websites only when I want to.
What Other Options Are There?
I must admit that I have slacked off a bit, relying too much on Google Adsense without any other major source of income (Google Adsense make up about 70% of my total revenues). But still, a $6000 – $8000 a month doing nothing really isn’t too bad.
With this blog cheatad.com I’m going to give it a shot trying to get more revenue from sources other than Google, looking forward to the day when my other revenues take over the lead from Google Adsense.

hi, so, how’s your journey so far? I also earn decent income from adsense, perhaps not as much as yours, but still enough for me. I also don’t want to depend on google for my major income. So I decided to join Kim Roach super affiliate club, and she said something like adsense is a terrible source of income…lol, whoaa…it’s like a slap in my face…wake up !!
anyway, so I just did some blog walking, want to see other opinion about adsense which made me visit your blog. Hopefully we manage to get other sources of income beside adsense, good luck for the both of us
Hi,
Me too. I earned most of my income from Adsense. I’d really like to have more earning from other sources, however my currently successful sites doesn’t have much income alternatives as they are too limited in reach and based on Singapore, which isn’t really a good target for affiliate marketing. No suitable product for affiliation as well. I’m currently in progress of building cheatad.com into more popular sites. It isn’t easy task though; competition in this niche is filled with superb sites.
I tried google adsense several months ago. First on just one page, then added it to three more. It was doing ok. I figured it might… big might actually pay my hosting rent. Barely.
I did like how the ads matched the content of my pages. (Even found a few sites to save through them.)
Well suddenly my adds vanished. Google said I had violated their terms. HOW???? I have no idea. They don’t say. There is no support at google.
So I filed an appeal form. Then went to their forums.
OMG!!!! THOUSANDS of posts about being disabled.
Most of the replies say forget ever being reinstated.
AND THEY KEEP THE MONEY????
WHY doesn’t someone file a class action against them?
MY time wasted slapping their stupid adds all over MY site.
That took forever. I’m not a computer geek and their instructions are like a huge rats maze. IT took me months to just get four stupid looking ads on my site. (Never could get them configured the way I wanted.) Then without any warning, boom it’s gone? I didn’t even know they were disabled until I tried to show my site to someone and noticed it wouldn’t load.
So I had a whopping 60 something bucks last time I checked.
Now that’s gone?
I cannot express how much I think google sucks right now!

I recently discovered a new program that is an Adsense alternative known as, Prosperent. You should check it out as it is extremely customizable and has a high eCPM. I highly recommend it.
I have tried a number of Adsense alternatives. So far none match the earning level of Adsense.
Adsense sucks.
Popuptraffic is the best alternative so far
