    hello.

    this is my personal experience, and if I am writing this here, it is to draw google's adsense people's attention to a real problem that they should seek a solution for

    After many months of publishing google ads on my arabic site I found out that it is really a big waste of resources to publish google ads on arabic sites.

    As you know of course, I am not allowed to reveal details about the stats in my adsense reports.

    What I can tell you is that on one of my arabic sites, more than half a million impressions of 468x60 banners did not even culminate in a 20 bucks total!!!!!

    This is peanuts, and we Arabic webmasters must not accept peanuts.

    Thus I would advise every arabic webmaster to boycott Google ads, as the whole hassle is really not worth it. Instead, make a great site that people love to visit and come back to, and then rent ad space to flat rate advertisers..... that is far more rewarding than the peanuts of google adsense.

    I believe this could be also the issue with other languages.

    on my other English and French sites, I don't have this issue. There, google ads are OK

    maybe on Cyrillic sites, there is such an issue.

    any feedback would be appreciated. If you are having a very very low pay for google ads on your site, please let me know what language your site is in .

    note: I apologize to the moderators that I placed this here. it must appear in the general rant about google adsense and I am not allowed to move it.
