Also, the more lucrative Adsense is for legit publishers, the more they are likely to keep creating useful content, even in marginal niches.

The question is "what is useful?" I have seen "Directories" vilified on here to no end. I get compliments and comments about how useful my Directory is almost every day. I have yet to receive an email stating that the site is crap. To me that means the content is useful.

Besides, my 400 odd Directory pages produce spot-on ads virtually every time. My 1600 odd article pages generate a significant number of mistargeted ads.

Which is more useful to the visitor (and the advertiser for that matter)?
