Does Adsense deminish your chances…
… of getting bought up by google?
If 100% of your revenue is through google adsense, and google is making 100% (or more) on your 100%, then wouldn’t your worth to google be cut by 50%?
This is disregarding my “community in a box” article.

Not as far as I can see. Let’s say your advertisers are paying a total of $200 a month, of which you get $100 and Google gets $100. That means that Google is collecting $200, but paying $100 of that right out to you, so that they only keep $100.
Now, if Google buys you, suddenly Google gets to keep the whole $200 inside the company and not pay out that $100/month that you’d been getting. Thus, Google’s acquisition of you is worth $100/month to them — 100% of your Adsense revenue.

Yeah, you are right… not exactly sure what was going through my head just then…
