LiveJournal Vs Blogspot! and a bit more
Google is probably going to tell you a much better answer about that.
But I could not resist putting thoughts about this on paper(blog, in
this case). Blogspot is full of illusion. It is like a “maya”. At the look of it,
it is fanciful and does all that you want it to do. But, you gotta get
out of it. It is not the real world. As
You can’t tag etc. But, my biggest problem with blogspot is the way
they have written their “Comments” module. It has to be better than
that.
Like
“Adsense” does not make sense, all those “Lotsa” things does not make sense either.
Just to say something original, I was talking to a first yearite in IIM
Bangalore about Business, startups ( I am damn interested in all of
these
things) and everything(Seems like my favorite hobby these days is to catch hold of an IIM MBA and talk to him about startups ).
He questioned Google’s ( How comical will it be to give an outgoing
link to “google” ? Will that increase my Page rank ? 
)
business model.
Though not sure about the exact numbers, having close to 100% of revenues from Advertisement is not such a wise thing. Y! had a
similar stature six years ago and we all know what happened.
I told him “If newspaper(s) industry can survive close to 150 years
just on advertisement, I am sure Internet ( and hence G & Y ) can
too.”
Someone once told me, an issue of the “The Hindu” would cost Rs. 125 , but for the advts it carries.
Do you disagree ? Leave a comment. I have a big theory behind this one and is probably material enough for another entry.

No. Mostly on the number of clicks to the Ad link from your blog. Sometimes for just showing them on your blog which is explained here http://www.google.com/adsense/

By giving a link to google, google’s page rank will improve. Not yours

Agree. I think it will continue to survive. We have two things to consider:
1. Ads that are relevant in the sense, the sponsor is providing a part / whole of the information that the user is looking for (like about “tourism in malaysia” or a “digital camera”). There is a lesser likelihood of users developing immunity for such ads because they do find them relevant).
2. Ads that are mostly noise in the context of what the user is doing (like the ADs being displayed on gmail. Do you even look at them anymore? We have become totally immune to it, isn’t it?)
So in effect, yes, I totally agree.
btw, have you heard this before? — RSS ads
