Contextual Text Ads and Google

I have spent the better of this week and weeks prior attempting to figure what relevant ads to place on my blog and what I should not. The purpose of this is not to get dinged by Google and have my Google Adsense Ads disappear, now most definitely you can place any ad you want, but you stand a chance loosing out on your Google ranking as well as income through Adsense.

Let’s face it Google other than Yahoo is the number one search engine and you want to be at the top of the page when someone does a search.

The question is what Contextual Text Ads or Image Ads are germane to a writer’s blog or website. Starting with the top is Google Adsense.

(1) Google fills the ads with content relevant to the topic of your blog or website, so good content is necessary. Follow this link to JenSense article and read “Making Sense of Contextual Advertising and Helping Publishers Earn More Money.” His article has helpful tips on “It’s official! You can now run AdSense on the same page as other contextual ad programs” Here is another link to an article
