I wrote a similar post two days ago and there I identified some problems behind the absence significant number of blogs in Asian languages. I mentioned the absence of Adsense support for South Asian Languages. Today, I like to elaborate a bit about this topic. Adsense is perhaps the most popular PPC program and to know how Google Adsense is doing read this article titled, Google's 'AdSense Keeps Competitors Trailing'. A list of the languages that Google's AdSense support can be in the website of Google Adsense. You cannot find any South Asian language here. Well, I do not blame Google for this because it is ultimately the demand that drives a product in the market. Advertisers give the advertisements to Google for placing them in different websites and blogs. Naturally, an advertiser from Europe or American will not wish that his advertisement is displayed in a Bengali or Hindi Website. So, the demand has to come from the advertisers. To know more about how you can earn money by blogging you can visit the blogs- Problogger and BusinessBlogWire.
We, the bloggers from South Asia, will have to try to motivate South Asian companies to place advertisements in blogs or websites that are in South Asian languages. When a good market will grow here then naturally Google, Microsoft and Yahoo all will get interested to support South Asian languages in their ad programs. Until then, we have no choice but to wait for getting Adsense.
Hi, thanks for visiting my site ^_*
I didn't design my own blog, I use a template from wordpress and combine it with my own blog engine.
About AdSense, I remember that at first it support Indonesian language but not anymore.
Greet from Indonesia ^_*
