Could aid in generating revenue on some websites. I found this out after visiting one of my regular websites for some online reading. I’ve heard of the hosts name before but was just curious how they’re doing and their prices. Guess what I stumbled upon while being there, there’s a referral reward scheme going on.
Ahh, so I was conned behind my back. How nice? Anyway, the link I clicked to was DreamHost. They’re currently having an aggrssive promotion going on and additional to that, they’ve got a referral pyramid called the DreamHost Rewards. If you’d like to find out more, read HERE. Oh yeah, you don’t have to be on the host to be a referral.
That aside, I believe in circumstances like these if you were to put such a link to your blog without notifying people that it gains revenue, you’re being really dishonest. You can’t say the same for Google because you know they’re ads. They call it Ads by Google, for crying out loud.
So please be a little more transparent on such revenue generating schemes than assume people won’t click if they found out it helps your website generate revenue. Adsense would’ve collapsed if everyone was like that.
Oh yeah, another thing about some authors using AdSense. They’ve done so well on the layout colours that it’s hidden in their post. Unknowingly, you might end up some times clicking it. Ah hah! Another ploy discovered for you readers.
Anyway, just watch your fast person clicking and don’t kill the mouse. :)
“They’ve done so well on the layout colours that it’s hidden in their post.”
That’s one of the ‘tip’ in Google Adsense FAQ, an effective one. :) Frankly, not many will click on ads if they know it is ads.
I see..but doesn’t anyone feel it’s wrong. Gaining revenue from the careless mistake of a would be sincere visitor to your postings.
Oh well..
