Sites using AdSense

Sites using AdSense include large information sites, affiliate-driven sites, forums and blogs. "Chat" sites are considered not suitable. Some blogs are being rejected, but information-rich blogs are being accepted. GoogleGuy explains AdSense GoogleGuy, an anonymous Google employee who contributes to discussions on the WebMasterWorld.com forums, explains how AdSense will help information sites: "...sites that provide solid content, especially niche sites that don't want to hunt down their own advertisers, should really benefit ... there's a whole universe of people who ... mostly produce informational sites, and the chance to recoup their costs without much effort is nice. I hope AdSense does encourage more diversity and voices on the web, because now smaller sites can work on what they're interested in - the content of their sites - without worrying very much about the costs of self-publishing information." How to choose sites to block You'll probably want to block some of the AdSense ads from appearing on your site. As well as blocking rubbishy sites, you may want to block tough competitors. The ability to block sites is especially important for sites that are not purely affiliate-income driven. For example, if you're selling a service or a product you won't want competitors' ads on your site. You can find such competitors by doing some searches on Google for key phrases that are important on your site and looking at the AdWords ads that appear.
