Hi,

I'm thinking of allowing Google ads on one of my Maths sites as a way of keeping the free resources free.

Does anyone have any experience with these and if so, are they worth it?

Thanks.

I get about 500 hits per day. :?

Perhaps not worth the hassle then? And God only knows what it will do to the site anyhow!

Thanks.

Not a lot of experience with them... but

I have a site that was not getting a lot of hits. Once Google Ads were enabled on the site it really took off. I didn't do any thing else, so I attributed the explosion in hits to Google. Not real scientific, so take it for what it is worth.

Well me and a few friends hjave google ads on some not so much visited sites and we earned 270 $ in less then a half year, don't know who clicks on our banenrs but it works...
So if you have a well going website I would recommend you to just try it.

Thanks.

I'll probably give it a go. If I don't like them then I can always bail out.

Whoay!

I've made $1 in 1 day!

At this rate, I'll be a millionaire at about the time I'm being pushed around the streets in a wheelchair whilst swigging cider from a bottle in a brown paper bag!

No wait, that was last weekend!

Doh!

@srod

Sounds like a good way to get rich, where do you get information from?

I tried GOOGLEing 'google ads' but all i get is info about paying for ads and I want to make money, not spend it!!

Just go to the main Google site and click on Advertising programmes etc.

Alternatively: http://www.google.co.uk/intl/en/ads/

You'll want to look at Google Adsense.

Be carefull... Google Ads is like inquisition or KGB, CIA & FBI together.

If you talk about how much money did you make (even if you talk while sleep) they inmediatly cancel your account.

I know some people that lives affraid of doing anything that makes Google get angry and cancel they account (its true!).

Big Google is watching you!!!
