ADSENSE STILL ON TOP

Guest Post by Tushar Agarwal
Whenever some one starts a blog with a single goal of make money online through their blog, the first thing that comes to mind is Adsense. Yes, the oldest PPC network started by Google that allows bloggers and webmasters to display other ads related to their blog niche and when some visitor clicks the ads, they get paid.
Adsense was a huge success in its initial days. Lots and lots of people registered with them and made fortunes. The pay-per-click rate was good and the ads shown were relevant. But, like everything, Adsense too had some limitations.
1. Payment only by check - This was the main factor that reduced the popularity of the Adsense. The payment was only made by check which took months to reach Asian countries like India. There was no option of payment by PayPal.
2. Minimum payout was high - The minimum amount you were required to reach for the payout was $100. And for the beginners, this amount took months to reach. So, new bloggers stopped using Adsense.
As a result, new ad networks came up that offered various payout options and much lesser minimum payout amount. Bidvertiser, Adbrite are some of the networks that still exist. Bloggers and webmasters are using them and still making money.

But I feel that Adsense is still the best PPC in the modern era. No matter what is their minimum payout and the payment options are less, Adsense still have the edge over other networks. Reasons :
1. Ads for every niche - Adsense is so old and reliable that majority of the companies and firms like to advertise with them only. So, they have ads to display in blogs of almost every niche which makes it quite popular.
2. Good PPC rates - Adsense offers much better PPC rates that other ad networks. So, you can see account balance increasing fast if your blog enough traffic.
But remember, neither click your ads nor ask your friends to do so. Google will catch you for sure and will inform you when your account will reach $100 i.e. when you will be eligible for your first payout. So, while you are busy celebrating about the check you will be receiving, Google will ban you from Adsense permanently.
Guys, I still trust Adsense as the best money making option for new blogs. All you need to do is to follow some guidelines and avoid every fraudulent activity and you will succeed. Happy Money Making.
