Theories about why the Google AdSense revenues are way down for publishers

If you build, maintain or promote web sites that derive part or all of their revenue from the Google AdSense program, you’ve surely seen a sharp decrease in your earnings, in the last months.

These are the main theories that are being discussed as to what may explain the drop…

  1. Google is getting greedy.
    • Unlikely because that would be a huge boost to spark new competition.
    • May be possible because Google keeps everything secret so it has to be considered plausible.
  2. The recession is hitting everybody.
    • Advertisers are being hit head-on and can’t spend as much on advertising.
    • People are buying less stuff or downgrading their purchases which means Google AdSense will see less action or at the very least, much less bidding action, every for well performing keywords.
  3. Less people go online.
    • The official numbers show a rise in the total internet user count but it seems to be stalling in the US as the economy forces people to cancel their internet membership to cover for their rent — yikes.
    • Since people need to work longer hours, during a recession, there’s less time left to “be online”, period.
  4. More people are wasting time playing video games.
    • Xbox, PS3 and Wii players aren’t generating squat for web publishers when they’re glued to their TV screen, in the living room — immersive gaming takes a huge toll on all other leisure time, including the time spend online.
  5. Spam-free surfing may include AdSense-free surfing, too.
    • The truth of the matter is that when there are no ads on a web page, it loads slightly faster and there’s no third party accumulating data on your online behavior — for some people, that’s important.
    • As long as people keep blocking web publishers’ ads (and their revenue), they’re basically stealing content but they probably don’t realize it.
  6. Google acquired a bad apple.
    • For countless AdSense experts, the DoubleClick acquisition was a very bad one, for AdSense web publishers.
    • DoubleClick is a low-level, low-paying, CPM-based ad clearinghouse for large advertisers and as such, poisonning the luxurious inventory of pay-per-click ads with such dirt-cheap ads that have tanked all publishers’ revenue stream.

It might even be something else but it’s undeniable, if you’re a web publisher trying to make money with AdSense, it’s now very hard.

If you’re so bold as to try to make a living off AdSense, it’s not downright IMPOSSIBLE unless you can make ends meet on a few hundred dollars a month, at most (if you live in your parents’ basement, it can happen but hey, not everybody enjoys such privileges).

Perhaps you have another idea why web publishers with better, more heavily circulated sites are seeing their revenue plunge in a seemingly bottomless abyss so you’re welcome to share your thoughts with us all.

In the meantime, if you want to make real money, please sign-up to get your own domain name and web hosting reselling store, online. It’s exactly what hundreds of millions of people are looking for and you’ll be the one collecting the moolah for years on end as people buy these services (or products) and keep renewing the forever.

Keep trying with AdSense if you feel like it but be aware that it’s just kiddie pocket change compared to operating your own online domain name reselling business (not to mention you’ll get your own domains at the “buy rate” — wow!) so don’t wait and join the major leagues!

Publishers want Google AdSense to get better

Web publishers remain committed to Google AdSense even as the revenues are being slashed downwards in a seemingly endless spirale of financial loss of lack of comprehension about what’s really going on, behind the scenes.

Holding on to Google’s apparently sinking advertising ship may be a strategy worth considering because as more publishers opt out, perhaps more advertiser money will trickle down to those publishers who decide to stay but that, by all means, something of a long shot. Better on the future of online advertising is akin to guessing the winning numbers to your local lottery — it’s fraught with wild uncertainty, to say the least.

Even if you wish AdSense will bounce back, magic thoughts might not be enough, in this particular case. Of course, sending positive vibes towards Google, in Mountain View is still a nice thing to do ; )

The truth is, nobody other than Google a few of its major affiliates know what’s going on, right now.

Nobody can be sure why the monthly revenues are drying up but almost every single publisher is feeling the heat from the rock bottom income AdSense is now providing them so, when the going gets tough, a “Plan B” needs to be spun into action.

You could do a whole range of things, depending on your particular talent but if you want to continue generating money 24/7 with the same ease as AdSense (set and forget, basically), you may want to investigate the web services reseller plan I talk about and sell, in this blog.

Why?

Because it works!

And if you happen to have a reasonnable visitor count seeing your ads, it works even more!

Sell web services through your online store —into which YOU set the selling prices, over the low buy rate— and you’ll grow richer with every sale. Domain names, web hosting and SSL certificates are in huge demand and you can be on the selling end.

The store, in and of itself, is entirely automated though you can customize it to resemble your web properties. You can take a look at mine, if you want. Even the 24/7 customer service will answer with the name of your company — wow!

Your visitors will thank you for providing them with such a full featured web services store so don’t wait and make your move. Becoming a web services reseller will probably the smartest move you made since deciding to join Google’s AdSense, a few years back… before the fall.

Millions of people are looking to buy domain names

Domain  names are one of the HOTTEST commodities online.

So hot, in fact, that you should join those who sell them for a profit.

With my Coolest.Name web services reselling program, you pay just $99 per year to do just that.

With your very own online store, a small percentage of the millions of people looking to buy domain names EVERY DAY will have the opportunity to get what they want —when they want it— while enriching you!

It’s simple, once you have your own online store, you can sell the domain names at a price your determine (over the buy rate price) or, let’s say $9, $12.50, $16.50 or even 25$… or more! You know your customers so you get to determine the price they’ll be offered to pay for your awesome domain name registration services.

Why are YOUR domain name registration services so awesome, you may ask?

Because you can give a boatload of freebies to your registrants, if that’s what you chose. Really, with your online web services store, you’ll have all the tools you need to effortlessly pamper every single one of your customers.

In my store, for instance, this is what I give my customers…

  • FREE! Photo Album
  • FREE! Blog
  • FREE! Hosting
  • FREE! Complete Email
  • FREE! Forwarding / Masking
  • FREE! Change of Registration
  • FREE! Parked Page w/ Domain
  • FREE! Domain Name Locking
  • FREE! Total DNS Control

Wouldn’t your customers love you if you offered them all of that, too?

Of course they would!

That’s what they’re looking for: value.

Even if you’ve been around the web for a while, you need to understand than hundreds of millions of people are just waking up to the importance of getting their own domain name.

Get your share of the domain name gold rush. This market segment is just gaining speed and that’s why it makes sense to jump in with your web services store which will work for you, even when you sleep.

Billions upon billions of dollars are spent DAILY on technology and hundreds of millions of that are related to web services. Don’t stand on the sidelines — get into the action and the profit with YOUR STORE because if you wait, that’ll just mean less money in your pockets.

Someone is looking to buy domain names at this very instant… is your store open, yet?

Welcome to Greatest.Name!

Starting a new blog is very exciting, especially when it’s geared towards making every single reader a lot richer!

That’s right, this blog is about putting money into your pockets.

How is that possible, you ask?

Well, it’s easier than you think and it involves reselling the following popular services…

  • Domain names (vast array of suffixes);
  • High-speed web hosting;
  • SSL certificates;
  • Email accounts;
  • Online marketing tools; and even
  • Automatic web site builders!

These —and many others— are the kind of services hundreds of millions of people are looking to buy and with my reseller package, everything is handled for you, even the customer  payments.

All you have to do is…

  • Promote your own “reseller storefront” in your web properties (or in other media outlets, if you prefer); and
  • Wait for the checks to come rolling in.

When I started with this program, over 6 years ago, I didn’t know what to expect but now, I can live off these checks alone (although I have other streams of steady income, which is also nice).

This program will NOT make you a millionnaire in the first five years (unless you own Facebook, or something) but it’ll produce a steady income because people who buy domain names keep them, year after year and the same logic applies to everything else they buy from your “reseller storefront”.

If you want to see what a reseller storefront looks like, here’s mine!

If you’re a serious…

  • Web developer;
  • Web publisher;
  • Web marketer;
  • Online professional; or
  • Smart individual.

This “reseller offer” is definitely for you.

The upfront investment is surpringly small (under 100$) and you can resell an unlimited number of web services, especially domain names which, alone, usually cover your annual reseller membership in the first days (assuming you have a minimal visitor stream to your storefront, of course).

Domain names are in such HUGE DEMAND that it’s still time to jump in the action and make money.

Anyway, I’ll tell you more about this reseller program in this blog, over time but I hope that you’ll look into this serious and proven business opportunity which can make you wealthier.

So there it is, my new blog — thanks for being here!
