Overall Satisfaction with Google AdSense

Google Adsense is unequivocally the largest and simplest way to implement ads on a website. I run a portfolio of websites and utilize the tools provided by AdSense to monetize every site. I can easily customize what type of ads, how often ads appear, and where ads appear on site (pop-up, sidebar, header, optimized within content). THIS IS THE EASIEST WAY TO MONETIZE YOUR WEBSITE.
  • Optimization and Experimentation
  • Ease of use
  • Detailed analytics and reporting
  • There is no app
  • UI changes frequently (but typically for the better)
  • Analytics can be challenging to configure
  • Copy/paste code snippets
  • Auto experiments (which types of ads where)
  • Detailed analytics
  • It is our primary revenue source.
  • Ease of use allows us to focus on content instead configuring ads.
In addition to Taboola, we also looked at Amazon Associates. I believe the latter could have a place as a source of revenue for many small websites. As stated earlier, Adsense is simply the largest and easiest to use service out there for small to medium-sized websites. It offers the best tools and easiest path to monitization.

If you own a small website with a general audience, [Google] AdSense is for you. If you have a larger website, and/or very niche subject matter on your site, finding individual partners to sell ads to generally can result in higher earnings. Adsense will pay you based upon impressions and clicks, typically individual partners will only pay for clicks in my experience.
