Click the ads, please!
While I'm waiting for Google to re-enable ad serving on MakeEasyMoneyWithGoogle.com, I've decided to start showing my own text ads on the site. Using the code sequence I exposed in the first issue of my AdSense newsletter (subscribe to get it), I've come up with a few Google-like text ads promoting products like AdSense Empire, Traffic Equalizer and the like. These are the kind of products that would normally be advertised here anyhow, so I might as well include them in my own text ads.
These ads are implemented much the same way that Google implements its own ads, via an <iframe> tag that references a file that serves up a <table> sequence as shown in my newsletter, except I don't use any JavaScript at all in my ad serving scheme, just a bit of server-side scripting to randomly choose an ad. They're not perfect yet, still a few glitches, but these are nice alternatives you could use yourself on your own sites, either on their own or as alternate URLs for your AdSense ads.
The funny thing about all of this is that because I'm not showing AdSense ads on this site, I can all of a sudden encourage visitors to click the ads they see, because clicking doesn't make me money or cost the advertisers anything. So whenever you see an ad labeled “Ads by Eric” or “Add to your Amazon cart” or something similar, feel free to click away!
