Google, Adsense and IncrediMail

You by now will have heard the rumours that Google has decided to remove it's adsense program from incredimail. This is just amazing! Incredimail has a very large readership.

No-one knows exactly why this has happened so we can either sit about and pontificate about this or we can see what lessons there are to learn

  • Multiple streams of income: Guy's in the world of online business, you really cannot put all your eggs in one basket. You need to have multiple streams of income. This way if one stream suddenly dries up, like with Incredimail if the rumours are to be believed, other sources of income will keep you afloat.

  • You cannot cheat Google: You really cannot. Don't even think about it. Clicking on your own adsense ads, keyword stuffing, putting images next to your Google ads, just don't do it. You can earn a decent living without resorting to blackhat methods that could get you banned

Till next time
