When it comes to earning money online, it’s important to say you should never put all eggs in the same basket. Systems come and go all the time. If you rely on one single line of online income, you are bound to get burned once it disappears. It happens all the time. People rely on banners or ads from one single publisher, and when that publisher goes down, YOU are at the losing end.
Banner blindness was introduced as a term by the people who wanted to make you believe Google Adsense was the only way ahead. It is indeed a good way to earn money, until Google chooses to shut you down. But there is a far better way. The key to success is placing RELEVANT ad banners for your audience.
Whether you choose Amazon ads or other relevant banners, the key is relevance. Once you bring ads for things that are interesting for your readers, you are matching needs with opportunity.

As regular readers alredy know, my Google Adsense account was shut down. My regular income from this area, and all accrued yet unpaid earnings were gone – without any possibilities for any appeal since Google could never make any mistakes. The suspicion of potential click is enough, and if YOU use Adsense as part of your online income then YOUR income is in danger too.
In continuation of the previous article, I would like to make one important point today. Thinking in new ways can provide the very best value for your time once you start thinking outside the box. As I have mentioned before, running Adsense ads can be so rewarding that you end up being a bit lazy.
I have been running Google Adsense ads for more than seven years – without any single black hat tricks used on any site whatsoever. Nevertheless, I too have now seen my account disabled because of potential violations. Potential violations?
Get real, for heaven’s sake!
When I wrote the article “Let 2012 Be Your Year of Success” I wrote something special about Facebook that you very probably overlooked. I wrote:

You need the right focus on social media, but don’t let it become a waste of time and energy. Make a concentrated effort of announcing new blog articles, but get the ball rollin’ by also getting involved on Twitter.
I had anticipated comments to that post, but I want to rectify ONE very important thing many readers may have overlooked.
