Carbon Ads or Google AdSense - Which is best?
Just a quick post as a few people have asked me about this.
I switched from using Google AdSense Ads to Carbon Ads on this site last year. I noticed that although traffic to this site has remained quite constant, the monthly revenue generated from Carbon Ads were slightly lower than Google Ads.
Overall though, I’d still recommend Carbon Ads for web developer-focused sites. You have more control over where they are positioned, they are less intrusive, look nicer and are more likely to be of interest to your users interest. Carbon Ads also payout from $20 earnings whereas Google only payout after $60 earnings.
Finally, CarbonAds JavaScript is a lot lighter which makes for faster page load times.
