    I set up my entrepreneurs blog www.mybusinessweek.com a couple of weeks ago. Is it worth adding google adsense yet or should I wait a year or so to build up my search engine listings?

    Is adsense worth it? How much do people make?

    No offence or anything, but couldn't you have just looked around the forums for a few seconds to see if this post had already been posted by someone else? The "can adsense make me money?" question is a stupid one which is asked all the time. Ugh.

    (Welcome, btw ^^;)

    No offense or anything but the internet is a big place and I've read so much stuff about adsense and there are many mixed opinions as to if it makes money or not and so it doesn't really matter about past posts on this forum. None of them are the gospel truth!

    If you join a forum, why not ask any question you like? Why should I spend my time reading through past posts? I just posted to seek opinions of other Entrepreneurs, nothing else! If your opinion is that people should just read about things and never ask questions because they have already been asked before then fair enough!

    You should realise that you should listen to as much advice and information as you can and take the best bits.

    Maybe next time, just share your experiences about business. If you don't like a post, don't bother replying to it!

    Least I got you posting which is what every forum needs!

    Right now your biggest priority should be building an audience for your blog. Anything else is just a distraction. Focus on making good content and find ways to promote it. If you put adsense on your site now you're not going to see much of a return. Having a bunch of ads and little content will chase away many fist time visitors.

    You should not wait, even if you not make big $ now but only few bucks it's always something.

    Even if you only start out making $10/month (which is on the low end IMO), if you wait a year that's $120 you've missed out on.

    Adsense is great, but the people behind it are complete idiots...

    If you have the traffic and the content, then yes, you can get some revenue. Many people earn some decent income with this, so I think there's no reason for you not to ...

    You should have no problems with Adsense if you have a steady traffic and great content. Content + Traffic = $$$ :D

    Hi!,
    In my opinion you must focus on increasing the quality content than using adsence.It works but choose your working style accordingly.

    You can make awesome money with adsense, only if you go into it not to make money. Focus on CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT, then you will succeed.

    I know several folks who live off adsense. It's a remarkable deal for folks meeting menj1980's equation.

    Like all the people before said; quality content is the key, but I see no reason to wait to put adsense on.

    Some people make pennies, some make thousands daily. Depends on the content and traffic.

    Adding Adsense won't do any harm as every bit you get will go in. If you are new to GAS though, I'd advise you to build up an audience and then insert, as you may not particularly enjoy the first few day's earnings :D

    Go ahead and put AdSense on your blog Steve, you have nothing to loose.
    Why wait a year, you could earn $1.00 you could make thousands of dollars.

    Don't look back in a year and say woulda, could, shoulda...

    Just do it...

    Good Luck and let us know how it works out for you. :)
