Why third party advertising is not your best choice

Third Party advertising is the #1 most popular monetization method for blogs and websites worldwide. Commonly used third party advertising programs involve:
1. Google Adsense
2. Kontera
3. Text Link Ads
4. Yahoo advertising

Well, these are all great monetization methids aren't they. Well, yes....for beginners. With so many sites out there telling people how great Google Adsense is, it's becoming very hard for new bloggers or website owners to avoid it. Let me get straight to the point. Why would you let a company like Google or Yahoo take a portion of the money that should be rightfully yours? Most people like these companies because of only one reason: "They do the work for you." Here we go again with the same old mentality of trying to get everything done the easy way. For the last time(not really), making good money online is not just a walk in the park. You have to work for it even if all the advertisements out there that say otherwise.
It would be pretty reasonable if they took maybe 25% of your profits. But, they aren't. They're taking on 50% of your money. That's like someone offering you 50 dollars if you walk ten feet forward, and you say: "I'll just take 25 dollars if you give it to me now."

It's not that hard to find advertisers for yourself.
There are so many more advantages to direct advertising than third-party advertising that if I wrote about it now, this post could go on forever. So, for that reason, I am devoting the next post to some reasons why direct advertising is the best choice and what direct advertising really is.
