We are unusually excited to share some tips for those who use AdTense, our get-rich-quick-if-you-can-create-enough-websites-a-day advertising program. Users of AdTense's sister product, AbSurds - which lets empty webpages generate huge traffic - will also find these tips and tricks useful.
Basically, both these products nicely complement each other. A quick roundup of how it works:
First, successful publishers create empty websites. Then, they use AbSurds to advertise the site using our Content Network (named so because it leaves them very satisfied.) Next, they put AdTense ads on those sites. When an unsuspecting housewife or a bingo-searching granny clicks their ad and end ups on the empty websites, our successful publishers get paid.
But enough basics, already! Everyone know this. Let's have those two great tips:
1. We know everything about you, so you know that you're in good hands. Google Foolbar knows each time you visit a page and how you actually look at what ads are being served there, not what the page is all about. This is a great way to learn and put more ads to your pages to make AdTense network more money.
2. We know that you actually mean well when you criticize us (Google Foolbar knows everything) in forums, believing to be anonymous. So go ahead, we love feedback! Just don't be evil.
In addition to the two great tips above, I would also like to nicely slip in a recent amendment to our Terms of Service. We've been asked to change our human-readable pre-IPO language to adhere more to big-lawsuit-correct jargon now. The following is the new Article 45 (d) a (changes in parentheses).
45 (d) a. The more you log in to check your stats, the more our algorithm learns (formerly downgrades) your Proactive Quotient (formerly Desperation Index), which optimally corrects (formerly demerits) your standing. Login as if you don't care and as if money's no object to you and the algorithm will readjust accordingly (formerly treat you with more respect).
Happy making money!
