Adsense vs. PayPerPost

There has been a lot of discussion on the Unofficial PayPerPost forum that I just recently started about what people have made doing PayPerPost vs. Google Adsense.

As you can see from my blog, I have a fair amount of experience with both PayPerPost and Adsense. I must admit that I have made more money doing Google Adsense ($200 per month), but I have been doing it longer. In the same time frame that I’ve been doing PayPerPost I’ve made more money ($1016.13 as of today). In fact, I think for most bloggers PayPerPost will certainly earn you more money than doing Google Adsense.

However, there is a major difference between Google Adsense and PayPerPost. If you stop blogging, PayPerPost stops paying you. It requires time to be spend to keep making money. However, I could stop blogging today and still make money from Google Adsense. So, I don’t think that Google Adsense is dead by any means, but add it to PayPerPost and you have a good method of money making.

However, it is important to remember that blogging isn’t just about how you make money. It’s also about enjoying the relationships with the people you meet in the blogosphere.
