I wish we had the ability to use Google Adsense!

@ helene
My Blog is about stocks and investments. Large corporations willing to sell Funds and expensive crap paper with large commissions to fool investors, are willing to put their Ads on my Blog.
Your site is more about Environment, socially substainable economy and small business networks, so it may be of less interest to those large corporations who largely invest in Advertising.
If plastic bags are banned, large corporations will mostly lose money. They are less willing to put Ads on sites like yours.

I hate to post a link to my Blog in a forum, but you should see ads in this post:
http://deminvest.wordpress.com/2008/04/07/ill-buy-a-great-bargain-stock-in-5-minutes-advantage-energy-income-fund-aav-a-natural-gas-company-which-yields-124-dividends/
and in many others. -
@ helene,
You’re right. I’m sure they are nice guys. Still sometimes it is hard to resist to temptations… I don’t think I could :-)
-
I don’t see any ads in that post. I do see “possibly related posts” which you can turn off. It’s your choice if you want your readers to see those links or not, so why don’t you just turn off the possibly related posts?
There’s tons of posts related to how poorly the WP staff implemented these automated links and forced an opt-out instead of opt-in strategy. But I (and most others here) don’t consider these “related posts” as WP forced advertisements because you can turn these off.
-
James, half of those “possibly related posts” are Ads. They point to corporations websites that don’t have any link to WordPress Blogs.
Matt told me that they are not paid so far, but they are thinking to ask for money in exchange of those links.
Today I asked Matt if WordPress plans to share income from those Ads with us Bloggers.If there is no plan to share with us the huge revenue that will come from those Ads, I will remove those Ads. If WordPress has some honest sharing plan, I will keep those Ads on my Blog.

have just seen something which is a wee bit disturbing
i’ve switched off the snap view thing as i found the drop down window a pain
i’ve just been to a blog that hasn’t disabled theirs.
when one holds the curser over the name of the person that has left a comment this drop down snap shot of that persons blogg appears – at the bottom of the snap window there is a list of one worders that i clicked on and hay presto….up popped a page of ads on snap shots site!
what the bleep!!
wordpress’ logo to the left and snapshots to the right
each commenters ads are different and they aren’t the ones that pop up automatically!
Here’s the first line of the link! it’s 10 lines long!http://shots.snap.com/rk/c/c?t=_ouZx-drPu7QPgm0WyfN-k8bdmrTvYl7lpfqz4HcofxQodNu4fnuUS2IKBrb5VN06hsc-
the ads are not the automated [tag related blogs!] “possibly related posts” [PRP] they are boneifidee ads to sites that are flogging things!
i’m shocked! because i didn’t know about this and clicked on the one worder [turns out to be an ad] thinking it was someone’s blogis this what you, deminvest were on about?!
when i hold the curser over the commenters link on this forums post no such snapshot appears with ads at the bottom of it
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr……….may be WP have been transparent about this……..?
Anyone know where this info is for all to see and be aware of?
Am i going to the other side?!
Apologies for the wordiness! -
Heleneodette,
thank you very much for helping me find out that those Snapshots are packed with Advertisements!
I think WordPress should just be transparent.
They should allow Adsense Ads and propose an honest revenue sharing to whoever wants to show Adsense in their Blogs. That way WordPress could stop playing tricks on Blogs that decide not to have advertising on them.
-
I got my adsense approved for my wordpress.com domain blog yesterday. But after getting the account, I realised that I will not be able to put that code to that blog. Is there any way I can put that code to my blog. If I don’t put the code in my blog I may get banned from adsense

i wish we had the ability to add google adsence
i like wp for its features and options and “name” ^^
but i’d like also to get some money from my blog
so it would be nice if we have the option to add ads, and well those who don’t like ads just don’t add them to your blog -
Well, there IS one paid upgrade that will do it, as I’ve pointed out before: the VIP upgrade, which costs several hundred dollars to set up and several hundred per month. It’s designed for blogs getting more than a half-million hits per month.
If you are truly dying for Adsense, you will need to get an independently-hosted blog.
