Is Adsense Dead?

Is Google Adsense dead or is it just a sign of the economic times that advertisers aren’t spending the same money they were on ad budgets? Times are tough and businesses are cutting back — just as everyone else is because of these days of tight budgets.

However, don’t assume just because business is slow today, it won’t be booming in the near future — especially once the uncertainty surrounding the election is over. Remember back to 1980, 1992 and 2000 — the same stories about boom and bust and financial hard times, then fairly quick recovery thereafter. Any time there seems to be the chance of a huge change in the American political system, there is always financial unrest.

Here’s an interesting video with some thoughts about the subject from Lisa:

The key thought: Continue to create quality content that is attractive to an audience so that you can build traffic during these tight times.

In Your Face Campaigning

Filed Under Barack Obama, Election 2008 | 3 Comments

Get ready for a new form of political campaign this fall — a street-level, in-your-face confrontation from neighbors and others who want to convert the non-believers.

Barack Obama: I want you to argue with them and get into their face.

Sounds appealing, doesn’t it?

Says Barack Obama: ”I need you to go out and talk to your friends and talk to your neighbors. I want you to talk to them whether they are independent or whether they are Republican. I want you to argue with them and get in their face.”

Arguments and face-to-face confrontations — I’m not sure that is the key to winning over new supporters. Maybe a softer approach will do wonders for getting people involved and convincing them to change their positions? We’ve had too many years of people yelling, bumper stickers filled with hate and other examples of our baser side on display in an attempt to win over converts.

What we need in politics is less in-your-face bitter partisan battles and more common sense from both sides. What about a little more love? How about a hug, instead of an argument?

I’m willing to listen to most anyone’s viewpoint and might even be persuaded, as long as you are not going to yell and get into my face.
