WordPress.com offers an AdSense alternative for its users.

The other day, WordPress.com management announced the opening of a new service monetization program, which will be an alternative to AdSense from Google. The monetization program was named WordAds, and the project was formed in collaboration with Federated Media. According to the management of the service, bloggers have long been asked to launch any program that allows you to earn with the help of their resources. Finally, such a program was created.

WordPress.com, according to the leadership in the face of John Burke, has long opposed the introduction of advertising, but now it's time to monetize. According to John, if AdSense is the most advanced way to monetize your site at the moment, then this is sad. So far, there are no specific details about how WordAds banners will differ from AdSense banners. But you can fill out the form , indicating why you are interested in such a program (if, of course, interested).

It is reported that the Wordpress.com monetization program is optional, so every blogger can decide for himself whether he needs to monetize his blog on this platform or not. In general, the appearance of WordAds is not a surprise, since as early as October of this year, Wordpress.com representatives announced their intention to work together with the companies Automattic and Federated to create a modern program for monetizing the blog platform. Now, according to John, about 50,000 new blogs based on the WordPress blogging platform (both WordPress.com and WordPress.org are included) appear every day. As far as you can understand, this is about blog services, and not about the CMS itself.

Burke also said that users of the WordPress.com blog platform deserve better than Google’s AdSense. Actually, it is not very clear what Google annoyed so much with its webmaster program John Burke. It is worth noting that in the third quarter of this year, the AdSense program (actually, AdWords) brought Google $ 2.6 billion. This is 27% of the company's total profit in the third quarter of 2011.
