We all know what AdSense is.
Is rightfully included in many WA traning materials, and no doubt, is an efficient monetization avenue for many site owners.
But I don't like it :(
Why?

Well, first of all, I don't want to alter the visual unity of my sites with all those weird looking ads. I know, there are certain customization options, but ...
Other reasons?
1. You need huge amounts of traffic to create a significant income stream
2. You only get paid when people click an AdSense ad ... and leave your site! What I'm trying to say: with all those SEO efforts, I'm not ready to give up the visitor in order to generate a few cents.
3. They can shut your account down anytime. Your income could disappear overnight. The most common reason is clickfraud and it doesn’t have to be you clicking on the ads. A competitor can come and click the same ad on your page 10 times a day and you’re the one shut down.
Long story short ... I think that AdSense could be a considerable income source for a well-established website that can generate tens or hundreds of thousands of visitors per month, but giving up those hard-earned visitors for a few cents might be "unhealthy" for average websites.
So here's my question ...
What is your opinion? Do you like AdSense or not?
