"Firm, why doesn't your site use Google AdSense?" "Why doesn't this forum have any ads? Given the current traffic, even Google Ads would still be profitable!" Many friends who are interested in making money online have asked me: why doesn't Goldzhan (Taojin Station) use Google AdSense? Actually, this question is quite easy to understand. For example, if you have a store that specializes in selling jeans, would you want to sell oranges in your store as well? The most critical point is that for the same amount of space, the revenue from selling oranges would be far less than from selling jeans!
If a website already has its own marketing plan, I strongly oppose it using other types of advertisements. "Focusing on your own product is the most profitable way and offers the best path forward." I mentioned this earlier. Using Google AdSense not only won't increase Goldzhan's revenue, but it might even decrease it, reduce user experience, and damage credibility. Goldzhan is different from other types of information websites; it is a site dedicated to online earning opportunities. Nowadays, most people approach "making money online" with skepticism and just browse casually without much trust. To change this perception, we need to build trust over a long period and gradually change people’s mindset. However, any instance of deception could instantly collapse the tower of trust built up over time. And precisely, Google AdSense and Baidu Alliance belong to uncontrollable factors. Their ads are random, and many of them involve deceptive or exaggerated claims. Especially regarding online earning opportunities, most of these ads are scams. Therefore, placing Google AdSense or Baidu Alliance ads on sites related to online earnings is an extremely foolish move—it damages one's own reputation.
Additionally, there's another personal reason: I have a bit of a cleanliness obsession. Placing Google AdSense or Baidu Alliance ads makes me feel like my blog has some kind of dirty stain on it, which is very annoying. (PS: Sidebar ads)
Google AdSense and Baidu Alliance ads are actually suitable for many types of websites. Q&A sites can use them, purely SEO-focused sites can also use them, and there are plenty of people who make good money solely through Google AdSense. As long as you don't need to focus on promoting your own products or building user stickiness, using Google AdSense is still a pretty good choice. After all, it's also one of the easiest ways to earn money.
