I wish we had the ability to use Google Adsense!
-
…or do we? Does anyone know?
-
Adsense is not allowed at WordPress.com
BTW, your blog is linked to your username. You don’t need to post it separately.
-
well someone ought to tell this person. http://analyzeddeals.com/
He has adsense all over his wordpress blogs. Yes plural
he has tons of blogs. All listed on craigs list. He advertises for some one to work for him
and when they go to his blog he has ads from google to click. He’s a real estate agent
in Colorado. -
That’s not a wordpress.com blog. That’s a self-hosted blog using wordpress software and, as such, is free of restrictions imposed here.

yeah, I also wish that in the future wordpress.com will allow their users to have ads on their blogs…just a wish…hehe
-
it would attract better quality people with time to spend, if they did ads through themselves they could take a cut and everybody wins

I might be an anomaly, but I have adblockplus and I zap ads all the time. I have several blogs I like to read that have all sorts of ads on them, and they distract and detract from the information presented, so I make them go bye-bye.

So do I – and when I’m using IE instead, I hit the back button on any site covered with ads.

Today I found out why they don’t allow Adsense on our WordPress blogs:
they want to put their own advertising on my blog and cash all the money themselves.I am very angry at WordPress: advertising has appeared at the end of many post in my Blog!
It seemed like an understandable policy not to allow advertising on WordPress. It seemed nice to keep it cleaner, nicer and without profit purposes. It was ok to me.
Now it looks completely different: WordPress company is putting its paid ad at the end of every post in my Blog. They aren’t even proposing to share revenues with me.
They call those ads “Possibly related posts: (automatically generated)”. What they really are is paid ads making money for WordPress.
Before posting this comment I downloaded all my content from WordPress. I don’t know what to expect and I’m afraid of retaliation.

Seriously, i do not like ads on blogs and web pages I read.
I liken them to television commercials. A necessary evil. Something has to pay the bills and commercials do that.
But, I also use adblock, sort of like a fast forward on my tivo. -
Xatap what I like the least is the fact that WordPress is now putting advertising in my Blog Posts, without my permission.
-
They have been putting ads on blogs for a while http://wordpress.com/blog/2006/09/06/on-ads/

Vivian, on your link it says “Very occassionally”. It was so “Very occationally” that I had never seen any on my Blog, so it was fine.
Now ADS are fixed. Most of my posts have one or more ADS all of the time. That is totally different.

I have seen ads only several times on my blog. And that was when I wasn’t signed in and using google to search for certain tags.
All in all, not so bad. -
Sigh! People i know all has adsense, i recently signed up but just found out i can’t use it on wordpress. The thing is i’m kinda lazy to move my blog elsewhere, sigh.. sigh..

James,
My Blog is about Business and I can recognize paid Ads when I see them.
My posts are full of links to Barrons, a huge spender on online advertising who buys links and Ads on Google Finance, Yahoo finance and CNN Money.
Probably WordPress uses for those Ads an old business model: the business model of Link Exchange.
With Link Exchange a webmaster shows Ads on his site and advertises his site on other members of the network. For every 3 Ads he shows on his Website, 2 of his own Ads were shown on other member sites. The third Ad is sold to advertisers.I am pretty sure this is what WordPress is doing, because I see clearly that Ads on my Blog are definitely paid ads.
What I dislike is the fact that WordPress is not clear on what they are doing. They don’t even tell how many links of my site appear on other websites. They don’t tell how many they sell to Barrons or to other companies. They make it appear as if it was a simple exchange. Well it isn’t. It is paid business.
