I was wondering just how well Google Adsense worked. I don’t have a real good reason to run it and I am not worried about making money off my personal website. The Google Adsense is supposed to show sale items in relation to what is on the page. I was curious how well it matched stuff on my pages. So yesterday I signed up for an account and turned it on. Well it really sucked at what it showed for each page. In most cases it did not even show any adds. My theory was the ads were based on what Google had indexed. For some reason since I started blogging on this site a month ago Google has not been by to index my site. I think maybe four pages got ads and the rest had nothing so I turned off the ads. Well Google came by for a visit last night. I turned on the ads again this morning and now every page gets something. I am going to leave them on for a while just to see how they progress. The sad thing is, in the rules you are not allowed to click on the links they provide. Some of the stuff that shows up I would like to checkout. That is a big no no according to Google. I guess there is no going back and saying sorry if you do. If Google cans your account because you clicked on your own site ads you are out of luck. The software I am running lets me put in IPs and a message to show instead of the ads so I don’t accidentally do it. I would tell you to click on the ads but that is a no no too. So just marvel at the wonder that is Google Adsense and do with it as you please. As an interesting side note, by having Adsense on your site Google indexes your site. I am going to watch how much it comes back to keep the index up to date.
