AdSense RIP - Hello, $7 Reports
I just stripped the last AdSense ads from this blog. I never had been thrilled with their relevance, but lately they had gotten almost comically irrelevant.

My experiment with AdSense shows that it simply is not something to slap up haphazardly.

I know blogs that use it and make money with it. But they are usually blogs that focus pretty tightly on a specific topic and do so because that topic has high-paying AdSense ads.

Every post is carefully calculated to trigger specific AdSense keywords.

I'm not interested in basing this blog around what's hot in AdSense.

I like to cover a broad range of marketing topics, and to cover them from some pretty odd angles. Unfortunately, that makes AdSense go cuckoo.

Rather than continuing to have ads for chicken ranching or some other totally irrelevant topics appear on this blog, I've decided to add some inexpensive reports that at least deal with Internet marketing.

They're a new twist on ebooks -- shorter, more to the point, less worried about padding the length in order to justify high prices.

These are quick reads for prices that won't cost much more than your daily dose of expresso.

Check them out as they rotate through the blog. I'll let you know a little more about this new wrinkle in the ebook world when I do my hot offers feature on Friday.
