Allow Google Adsence in WordPress
-
I noticed that WordPress places links in the boxes that appear when you mouse over links, video, photography. Do they make money of those links? Those links appear to be reference the tags we place in our posts. I suppose if we are getting these great tools for free, I’d hope that WordPress has found a creative way to monetize the content we post on this platform.

You win the prize!
I’ve been biting my tongue about mentioning that little fact that no one seems to have noticed. You can bet they are making money off of it otherwise it would not be there and that’s the reason I have snapshots turned off on my blog here at .com.

Isn’t is more likely to be Snap Shot’s income? I’d think so. Smart actually. They make it popular and ad free. And when enough sites like WP have accepted, Snap Shot bring in the ads. Now they are to popular to be kicked out.

@clippernolan: affiliate programs such as Amazon are not banned altogether. Take a look at the page:
http://wordpress.com/types-of-blogs/
where “people writing original book or movie reviews and linking them to Amazon” is used as an example of acceptable blogging at WordPress.com -
@ thesacredpath: Well, I don’t mind that staff can have an income. It’s a job, right? People need money to survive…

I think it’s better to ASK blogger to give good looking themes than asking WordPress for Adsense.
-
Getting better themes on blogger is probably as likely as getting user generated adsense here at wordpress. I wouldn’t bet on either.

@tiamatsdisciple
Ad’s would be optional.This delay must mean that WP.com wants to take a slab of the money made…

i’d like to try one or two small widget size ads. if my blog ever got to a point where it paid for itself then i’d be happy to upgrade.
-
well, the sole purpose of this wordpress blogging, i guess, is for self-expression and to inform. if you want to earn money from it you have to pay somewhere too… you to give input to have output right?

I am new to WordPress, love it. I am not new to Adsense. I find that those who would use it at every opportunity are trying to make a buck off the Internet using the backs of freely provided services. Isn’t there enough commercialism of the world wide web. Do we really need every page, site, server cram full of Adsense nonsense so Google can increase their ability to put another billion on the bottom line. I say a big no to Google period (the new replacement for the Microsoft empire). The clutter provided by Adsense to a site turns me off. I had an online business that started paying Adsense more for the hits than the orders I was receiving. Be real careful what you wish for, you might have to live with the 500 pound gorilla.
