## Reviews

### "Good option for smaller publishers to start with" — 4.0/5

> **Jonas** | *5 February 2025* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Google Adsense is low barrier tool for a publisher in every size to start growing revenue via ad serving through a website. It is relatively easy to start with and they also have options to let Google test different ad types etc to make sure you get the best out of the platform. &#10;&#10;Implementation is easy, setting up the account is not rocket science and it does not take a long time until you can start making money from your traffic. &#10;&#10;Analytics side is also straightforward and good addition to GA4 as it gives you additional information which you could also use for negotiating direct deals.
> 
> **Cons**: 1. As a publisher from a small country the traffic is mostly local and ad revenue source is also local user. Adsense gives you an opportunity to be a part of a large network, however it is not targeting those small markets.&#10;2. Compering it with Setupad for example - it does not have as good support as similar platforms. If you are a smaller publisher with limited resources it is always good to have a platform which provides at least some customer success management.
> 
> My overall experience with Google AdSense has been good. It was the first platform we used for generating extra revenue and it helped a lot.

### "Zero customer support" — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *15 July 2024* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Potential revenue for an automatic service.
> 
> **Cons**: Hopeless support, cannot contact,  very bad business model
> 
> Find another option,  there is no customer support nor contact.

### "Google Adsense" — 5.0/5

> **Ngenge** | *2 August 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Google AdSense is one of my favorite( and ultimately, the company's best) ways to increase all sales outreach. We help clients to monetize their business and  It has helped us to continuously deliver accurate and quality results which keep 96% of our clients  "EXTREMELY SATISFIED".&#10;&#10;It wouldn't be easy (cause as a beginner, it shouldn't) but, in the long run, it tends to be very beneficial when you acquire a good mastery of it.&#10;&#10;But I love how organized and simple the back office looks. It's very clean and easily navigatable.&#10;&#10;Ads placements are super professional and it gives higher chances to make more money from certain types of traffic and niches too. I believe, Google Adsense is the best in terms of smart placements- compared to others.
> 
> **Cons**: Poor customer service with no live chats. It's true Google receives billions of similar requests every single month but, what if users fall into complex situations like account hacks or something else?&#10;&#10;Well, It could be more fun if they actually provided live support.
> 
> Adsense is one of the most effective means to earn money with either a blog or channel through ad monetization.

### "Best way to monetize your content" — 5.0/5

> **Robert** | *26 February 2024* | Newspapers | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Is easy to setup and ads are showing immediately after setup. In 2024 the shared revenue has increased and the way AdSense displaying ads maximize the revenue. I can say it is the best.
> 
> **Cons**: The payments are made next month after you pass the payments threshold. When adding a new website and is rejected they won\`t tell you the reason for the rejection, just send you an email that the website violates Terms and Conditions, even if is not.
> 
> Great experience, easy to setup, fast and now you know you will get paid extra for your time making content.

### "The worst publisher ever\!" — 3.0/5

> **Francesco** | *29 November 2022* | Arts & Crafts | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The ease of use is certainly it's main advantage...
> 
> **Cons**: ...but everything else is a mess. I had my site approved once. Then when I changed domain, I coundn't make the ads show on the website anymore. Adsense started rejecting me. I've made then tons of changes to try fix the thing but nothing worked out. I've tried then to reach out the support, which is literally non-existing. there is only a forum with "expert users" who may or not decide to say something to use, very generic or unprofessional. No google employee whatsoever. I've only read somewhere on this forum that you may have an email contact with someone working on google ONLY if you have a solid income in Adsense. This is extremely disrespectful.
> 
> It's an example of how not to run a business.
