Advertising is killing the Web - Aaron Wall

Posted by Marshall on November 30, 2007 | Link It

Aaron Wall at SeoBook.com is saying what I've come to believe with is that contextual Advertising via AdSense is killing the Web.  Essentially, people are seeing that many sites care more about advertising than content.

While Google can get away with it because Google is a search engine and there's still a high degree of textual relevancy while sites can't often to the same thing.

And, more and more, sites that use AdSense can't compete with Social Networks and communities that have real content.

I agree with Aaron in that far too many use junk generation software to crank out adsense sites, now using blackhat software to post junk comments and spam trackbacks to decent blogs. if it weren’t for adsense lure would be easier to find good material in serp and even in adsense ads!

Good old banners, text links, custom Peel-Away-Ads and so on ads from CPA networks require more time to setup and manage than adsense, so less attractive to this whole industry of spam junk sites which clutter up the web more and more.
This also leads to whitehatters to look for similar spam solutions if they want to remain in a decent position in serp for their kw. shame on the spammers.
