[epithet]

Adsense is applicable to blogs right? Is it also applicable to squidoo lens?

Well, I don't know what a Squidoo Lens is, never heard of it. But if I do a Google search on "Squidoo Lens", the very first link of the search results is an article on the official Squidoo site that opens with "A few weeks ago, we repositioned the AdSense Google ads on Squidoo". Did you allready tried that yourself, searching "Squidoo Lens" on Google, or is this article new to you?

I have been wading on this faq's of squidoo.com and have known that there are sites with configured Adsense tool in them. That thing mut be an anwer to my problem though I haven't tried it yet. I was thinking of emailing the staff of squidoo and present to them my query.

All I wanted was to make money from my len/blog there. Were you able to look at some samples of lens? If you do do you think signing similar ones for an adsense is a practical method?

I wouldn't put AdSense on any site that was not 100% within your control, unless that site was owned by Google.

You sign a TOS agreement with Google. You need to ensure that you comply with it.

The idea behind Squidoo is that they host and they have a high profile that brings traffic, and they split the advertising with you. I read their stuff around the time they went beta, and I believe that you can add Adsense but you have to add it through their mechanisms, so that revenue sharing occurs according to their rules.

Check the Squidoo TOS - that has the final answer.

Sounds like the old (now defunct) Mining Co./About.com model.

In my experience, the "network of sites" approach works better in theory than it does in the real world. Crossover traffic between topics or sites is minimal, the host is overpaid for what it delivers, and you--the Webmaster--are splitting your revenues with at least two different middlemen (AdSense or a rep firm plus the host). By the time two or more middlemen have taken their cuts, how much is left for you?

Is that so?

So that means I cannot go directly to Adsense and Imust go via squidoo mechanisms. Isn't this the same method used by blogger.com?
