    Google adsense is good for low traffic site and easy to start up. The ad. contents are rich too. In my sense, adsense is not a bad choice but you can't depend on it. Its easy get banned.

    I use google adsense and I have not had a problem with them. So far got: 16.79 with them and its going along slowy at the moment but great I don't think they're a scam I know someone who makes $3000 a month off using google adsense.

    Google makes Billions. I doubt they would be sweating that someone is making 3K a month. Nice deal though. I've got no history with google adsense so I can't say anything.

    I hear stories of people making even 10,000 off google adsense in a month and it's all true. As long you don't break there TOS your fine and you can make as much as you want off them. :p

    Most bloggers use adsense. It seems easier get banned in asia pacific. For a new site be carefull with adsense. Better not use it at beginning. If your enemy treat you, he click your ads. then you will be banned within 24 hours.

    Google forefeited the money from banned a/c. He says he will return to advertiser. Who knows if he refund the advertisers. For some advertisers may bankrupt before the refund.

    There are many casual publisher take a very long time, or even never rech $100. Some bloggers even not confirm their a/c. Google can use this money to earn interest. At least this reduces google's debt, improve liquidity.

    Google is scam in this sense.

    Adsense isn't a scam. Lots of people get paid everyday. Some people complain because they don't read the terms of service.

    No, it's fully legit, and is owned by Google. If they ran a scam it would never get by.

    I don't like that the minimum payout is $100. I'll never reach that.
    Plus they only payout by cheque, would be easier through paypal.

    Have used adsense for years now, although have never really worried about the placements of it, if I were to properly think about them I should be able to earn more, but I don't run the site for that and it covers it's own costs fine so I'm happy
