My goal was for my site to be a devotional type and adsense just destroys that. this is because sometimes adsense shows ads that are just so far-off. I'm gald i took it out. my site now i think looks cleaner. I poste in the forum asking for feedback to my 1 month old site and one feedback was about Adsense.

The biggest thing for me is that it does no good. Its netted me notta. Even if you can make the adds as perfectly seemed as possible, it still makes no sense based on the amount of clickthourghs you may or may not get. Just my two cents...and I'd take it...cause its probablly more than we will get from the ads combined! ;) I will say this, Joanna….I haven't had any "questionable" ads that showed up on my site….so that is not the issue (although I am sure it is possible).

(applaud) Second - I use it, but only in the "remnant" inventory positions of our ad server (openx) - if all paid sponsor ads have shown, our Google AdSense code is ONE segment of the in-house remnant rotation. Speaking of - sport me some churchcrunch banners and I'll throw it in the remnant rotation for a while, too! John

For the small amount of money i'd earn (if any), i don't think it is worth how much worse it would make my blog look. Even more important is issues of credibility. Blogs with similar content to mine that use adsense tends to get an awful lot of ads for groups and products i would not be happy to endorse.

I considered AdSense, and at the end of the day, my feelings were exactly what you have said. I felt it devalued, and I knew that you could add paid sponsors so...didn't see a benefit. Glad to see my choice confirmed. : ) Lori I just started blogging. I considered AdSense, and at the end of the day, my feelings were exactly what you have said.
