Putting adsense in your landing page

by goodmast3r

If we sell service in our page, what do you think if we put adsense at the bottom of the landing page. The idea is if the user does not want to do business with us, it's better to earn money from our competitor through the adsense?

      The ads is actually in the bottom of the page, so what I'm thinking is the user scroll to the bottom and not sure to purchase our service , then he find our competitor service and click it. Competitor pay us money.

        You are a business. You don't want to project the image that you need to make a few pennies from AdSense clicks.

      Exactly what Rob said. If you are trying to generate a few dollars per day instead of getting an interested buyers' information, then you are just approaching this completely wrong.

    What this does is creates a leak in your page. Visitors will reach the bottom of your page and may still be considering purchasing your services when they see your competitor's ad and decide to head over to their site to check them out.

    I don't think it's good idea! Instead suggest another offer.
    Your landing page must looks Professional.

    Never tried this because it might distract my reader or clients.I would go with clients as they are more important when you compare them with penny or $$ clicks.

    I'm too polite to give an honest answer.

    Here's a tactful way of saying it: selling your own service, and making money through AdSense are directly conflicting objectives for a web-page.

    There's a small handful of ClickBank vendors who have a bit of AdSense at the bottom of their sales pages. How many serious, professional affiliates do you think they have? (I'll give you a clue, it's a very round number that's smaller than 1.)

    Adsense ads would divert the user from the service being offered, especially when other similar services are showing up among the ads. Don't put adsense on pages where you intend to sell something or promote affiliate products.

    Forget the Adsense. Or anything else which may cost you business. Why not think about giving the visitor/reader a "reward" for reading the page and getting to the bottom - if you're oiffering a service how about a discount code or some other incentive, a free report on why you're great at what you do, something complimentary. Have them opt-in to your list to get the reward/incentive. Then you can follow up and have the opportunity to turn the vistitor in to a paying customer rather than lose them forever for the sake of a few Adsense clicks.

    If you put the adsense link on your landing page, I am sure the adsense company will add on your page which one is related to your service. In this case, your visitor may accustom to take service from the adsense link, if the adsense link's service is better than you. So I think you should not do this.

    I have found that is does not reduce my sales, but increases em. Well, that is what we call a paradox, but mostly it is due to banner blindness as we say. Look at your percent clicks on sad sense. They go lower every year. Still, it does bring in some money. Do an A - B test and see if it reduces your sales and get back to us.

    This is what some people call "making money from people who don't buy from you". Not a referral, but putting adsense links on your product/service page, and if the prospect doesn't want to buy your offer, *hopefully* they will click on an adsense link so that you can recoup a bit of the money that you spent attracting the lead anyway. It is what it is. Works for some people, doesn't work for others.
