Some explain.

50 clicks = $1.25 and I bet that's about normal.
Tell me that the over the long haul clicks to a sponsor (mainstream, anything!) won't pay out better?

If I have a visitor to my site I either want him buying my product/service (If I offer one) or one of my sponsors. Those 50 clicks IMO are potentially lost sales. You can argue "well if he clicked the AdSense link he wasn't going to buy from me", but that's not true - perhaps the ad lured him away?

Anyhow, I'd love to hear some reasons people have for using AdSense.

You dont want adsense competing with your product for sure. The best places to use adsense would be on sites prepared just for using adsense. Information, articles etc. Blogs are good examples.

If you have a product site, maybe use it on pages within the site that dont let it compete.
