How Google Can Keep AdSense "Great"

A WebmasterWorld thread has discussion around what it will take for Google AdSense to "remain great." Clearly, you must first agree that AdSense is "great," and if you do, then we need to agree on what must be done for it to remain that way.

Some of the suggestions in the thread include:

  • Accept only sites with 5,000 daily visitors or more
  • Go back to the basics
  • Drop smart pricing
  • Relax the AdSense algorithm
  • Penalize sites that copy content
  • Less AdSense Spammers
  • More & better advertisers

There are other suggestions in the thread, plus not everyone agrees with all of these suggestions.

Forum discussion at WebmasterWorld.
