Hi Guys,

I want to hear your thoughts on this. I've been actively doing link exchanges. What happened is that, whenever I do link exchange, I'm bound to check their future page rank. It appears that many of the Adsense Template sites have seen a dramatic drop in ranking.

(One look you can tell that they're adsense sites. Always the menus are small letters and have lot's of adsense ads).

Many of them had dropped from PR 4/5 to PR 1 or ZERO!!!

I think Joel Comm's Adsense Templates are dead soon. It seems that Google is going to give a hard time to all these 'fictatious sites' using Adsense Templates. I think Google's on the right track. No Pain No Gain.

Let me know your views.

Adsense Templates Dead or Alive?

unique, custom adsense templates (one of a kind jobbies) would be fine.
It's the adsense templates that you can download off of warez site or purchase on ebay etc.. those that are used by 100's of people, duplicate content never was really a good thing for adsense.

Content is king and if it's unique it'll get notice.

I think there's room for adsense sites, there's just too many "lander type" pages with worthless dribble out there now.

Google hates $$ so when they find something that is making them $$, they de-rank it to stop it from making them $$. It is like the whole deal where Google will not allow any phone books in their buildings nor will they allow their employees to have phonebooks in their house. Phonebooks need to have content separating the advertisement or Google will de-rank that poor DEX.

Google is your GOD.

It's not really anything to do with sites making money from adsense or the template used. Google just don't like shit worthless content, And it's a good thing.
