I have been thinking about for a long time and decided to ask eventually. Since %80 of the web now contains adsense ads i am really corious what is a real content.

Mostly people in WW consider content as writing articles, information, etc. However I see adsense ads on every page even though SERPs so I am really corious what people consider a content and how i can make a content which is a real content?

I would appreciate any comments and thanks in advance..

This is a "sticky" question

everyone has their own opinion

and some just push it as far as they can . .

>> What do you consider a content <<

It might depend on what the author is trying to say on the page.

On some pages a single word could be considered valid and complete content.

On other pages, 1,000 words might not be adequate.

Personally I'd suggest writing a website to jump on the adsense bandwagon with minimal content might work short term, but without decent content on your site you don't get long term growth.

In my case the adsense banner that generates the bulk of revenue is on the main site index page. The content on that page is actually quite minimal - just a couple of paragraphs about the site. The vast majority of the rest of the site doesn't have adsense banners. Tried banners on various pages, and they remain only on the profitable pages.

So I have the situation where a page with minimal content generates the revenue. However, I also have a high repeat visitor percentage due to the quality of the site information. It's this factor that has enabled me to grow my adsense earnings. Without the rest of the site that visitors clearly want to see, then I'm sure the adsense banner would have had a few clicks initiallly, then faded away.

I realize you're exaggerating for emphasis, but be careful when saying things like that around here. People sometimes get the idea that AdSense is all there is anymore.

Check out the Google TOS there is a better definition of "content" there.
