They pointed out that I won&#8217;t be losing out on 50% on income because more would be clicking on Kontera. There is some logic to this I suppose. Will just have to have to wait and see if Kontera would double up on its earnings.<\/p>\n<p>Usually if any website wants to get good returns, it should NOT be plastered with so many ads. The returns would be diluted. But for my study and reference, I&#8217;m only doing it in this personal blog of mine only. I won&#8217;t do it to my other websites.<\/p>\n<p>And if you have a website that actually sells real physical goods, it would be well advised not to place any ads at all including Google Adsense as that would take away your potential customer and of course cheapens your product or services. Ads are for information website and blogs because there are no other products or services offered and the only way to recoup the time, effort and labour is by way of advertisement.<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\ngoogle_ad_client = \"pub-5685769204706262\";\n\/* JanLeow Blog Content 336x280 *\/\ngoogle_ad_slot = \"0657399032\";\ngoogle_ad_width = 336;\ngoogle_ad_height = 280;\n\/\/-->\n<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>In fact if you can get direct ad placement directly with sponsors, your returns would be far more better than Google Adsense.
