I never use adsense on my websites...I'm convinced from many time ago that is a fake.

Probably true

I resell my spaces to others, usually customers of adsense or overture, and I get the 100% of my money , not the 10-15%.

very smart

From these 175 websites, the only one receiving a significant traffic from Google is the only one banned. Interesting detail isn't?

Yes, interesting

"To have a business with Google free traffic, reselling it to Adsense, is absolutely absurd. "

Absurd or not, I like getting their checks ;-)

But seriously. Business and marketing in general is pretty absurd. Most of it is convincing people who don't really need your product that they DO need your product and that they aren't cool enough, fashionable enough, hip enough, slim enough, tall enough, sexy enough, or safe enough unless they buy your product.

So unless a business (or website) is selling basic food, water, shelter, or clothing, they are really participating in the absurdity of marketing in general...convincing people to part with their disposable income for things they don't really need.

Since I have to make a living just like everone else, and as the whole thing in and of itself itself is absurd, I don't concern myself with what minor nuances of absurdity that I myself am participating in. I'm just trying to make a living.

(Oops I didn't mean to get all existential. I'd better get to sleep ;-)
