Selling out Already?
Basically, the question is whether or not we should add the Google Adsense to our blog. I can go either way on this, so I think I'll add a list of pros and cons, and I would love to hear some feedback on other peoples thoughts.
A quick explanation of the program as I understand it. Google places ads on our blog, pays us money for traffic and helps redirect people to our site.
Pros:
- We could make a lot of money, b/c Google might not realize that our 100 daily hits are just 10 people checking 10 times each.
- The more people that read things, the better.
- Would this make it easier to google our blog?
Cons:
- Is this the equivalent of having Clear Channel help us get our single played on the radio. While we of course desire to be a big, powerful, popular blog. I'm not sure that I want to do it that way.....I hate Clear Channel.
- I would've thought we could last longer than one week before selling out.
- I remember when we were just doing this for our fans, now we're considering doing it to achieve fabulous wealth.
If anybody has any experiences or comments regarding this, I would love to hear them.
