Placing banners and selling text ad links to monetize your gambling blog comes down to attractive advertising rates. Very often I get asked by other bloggers how much to charge for an advertisement and it was something I was trying to figure out a couple years ago. Even after a thorough search there is not a real and useful answer written anywhere. Advertising rates do seem to fluctuate and depend on the blog's niche and supply and demand. So, how did I do last year?

Google Adsense has just sent me an email informing that they are disabling ad serving to my gambling blog, since they found violations of Google AdSense policies on a couple of pages in my gambling site. According to google adsense marketing, AdSense publishers are not permitted to place Google ads on sites with content related to gambling or casinos. That is strange, since they have introduced some changes in their policies recently including gambling related websites and blogs. That is also the reason xPublisher Gambling Advertising have closed down two months ago, as they couldn't compete with Google AdSense following the recent events. Fortunately a check has been issued on 22th of June by Google Adsense. I would hate to see Google keep my revenue, although monetizing a gambling blog with Google Ads isn't that efficient in comparison with other affiliate schemes and advertising deals.
