Why Adsense is Not Suitable for All Blog Topics

One of the most striking things that hit me in my analysis of the 30 most visited blogs at Truth Laid Bear was the small number of blogs using the Adsense program. Only 8 of the 30 (26%) had any Adsense ads on their pages - most instead opting for Digital Camera blog is down at the bottom of the list at number 30 with 12518 daily visitors - I use Adsense extensively there and make over $200 per day from doing so on that blog alone (it is my highest earning blog to date). It would be easy to assume that a blog like BlogCritics who I've spoken with the owners of and asked why they don't use Adsense - the reason is that they have many contributer - some of whom use strong language in their posting and comments which doesn't fit with Google's guidelines. Political Blogs - Whilst they generate some massive traffic, Adsense is never going to be the income stream of choice for these bloggers for a number of reasons: They have no control over which ads do and don't appear - You can just imagine the variety of ads that could be served to a piece written on George Bush. I don't know too many political bloggers who would be happy to have an ad that they are opposed to running on their blog. Adsense has no way of telling if your blog is pro or against him - so it will randomly serve ads (if there are any). For instance if you check out comment below and let the rest of us know what you think. What topics have you found don't work too well on Adsense? Which ones do?
