I am really digging this blogger, Pat McCarthy, over at Conversion Rater.
In this post he discusses 10 ways to increase your ad revenue. I generally like people who feel the same as I do and talk about things I am interested in. Human nature I guess, but this guy is spot on about [tag]ad revenue[/tag] and site [tag]monetization tactics[/tag].
“It’s unfortunate that a lot of the conventional wisdom for how to make money from advertising on a website or blog is to slap up Google Adsense and watch the money roll in. While there are many publishers who do make great money from Adsense, they are usually working very hard at it.”
