One project I completed earlier this year featured optimizing the placement of Google Adsense code. Many blogs, including several that I control, use Google Adsense to help monetize their operation. Do you use Adsense on your blog? If so, are you all warm and fuzzy about Google Adsense? Is it worth the time and the aggravation?
There seems to be a love/hate relationship with Adsense. Some site owners swear by it, while others find the limitations imposed by Google to be difficult to deal with. Another camp feels that Adsense ads ruin a blog and cheapen it in the process.
