I recently added adsense to my fence product site and have received criticism from a few friends saying I will loose money sending my readers to another site. I say in my field, those same ads appear on the SERP they got to my site from, so most likely they will be clicking to those sites to compare anyway, why shouldn't I make a couple of bucks from it?
Some of the ads are for products I don't carry anyway, so those ads won't affect my sales. And I can always filter out certain sites I deem could take a sale from me.
Anyone have actual experience or can point me to an authority on this?
yeah, i have been wondering about this for sometime now, what i think is that putting ads on product site will makes it seem unprofessional, do you agree?
