Kevin O’Keefe blogs sensibly that running Google ads is inappropriate on blogs marketing professional service or product, pointing out that at the very best you may earn only a few hundred dollars a month.
If you’re a law firm or other professional service firm charging hundreds of dollars an hour for your time, do you want to be viewed as so hard up you need to sell ads on a blog?
Implicit here and in my previous post, is that running Google ads distracts from your own marketing message; worse, it will also divert attention to competitors whose ads you will trigger.
You tell it like it is in your Adnonsense post. I’ll share it with my readers when I get a chance. Your point about giving competitors potential advertising presence is well taken.
