Don’t Sell Links If You Want to Make Money with AdSense!

by max on Tuesday, July 8th, 2008

Well, this one is pretty simple but a lot of people do sell links on their blogs.

Why?

Well, to simply put it, if you want to make money with Adsense, you need Google search term traffic.

If you sell links, Google will eventually dump your blog and your Adsense traffic will drop dramatically to a point where it will affect your Adsense revenue.

Why bother selling links anyways when it’s unethical?

There are thousands of sites that help you sell links but I highly advise against it if you are serious about making money in the long run.

Of course, if you want to make some quick bucks and get out, that’s fine too. But remember all your hard work and all that search traffic might just be gone one day if you start selling links.

Why is it unethical?

Well, think about it this way. If you had all the money in the world, you could buy up all the links and show up first on Google. Now, that wouldn’t be fair for others who write original content, would it?

It’s really common sense. If you want to play the Adsense game, you need to stop and don’t sell links at all. If you want to play another game such as affiliate sales, then it might not matter as much. But the answer is simple.

I probably get at least 10-20 requests to buy links. They all end up marked as spam. I don’t want to be part of it, leave me out of it.
