I have been thinking about the future and thinking ahead. I know its hard for any business to predict what will happen further than 5 years head but I was wondering how long do you think Google Adsense will be around?

I strongly feel it will be with us for another 5-10 years, will it be around and have the same presence in 20 years? Whats your opinion?

The internet is a fast moving technology and I hope adsense is going to be in for the long run 20+ years. I would say yes it probably will be here in 15 years time but can't say for sure as you never know which way the web will take us.

if you are thinking about future that far ahead, then adsense should not be your major source of income in the long run. go for real moeny with affiliate programs and build site targeting products you can sell. keep adsense as a source of supplemental income and for diversity. no one can tell whats gonna happen even next year, forget 20 years down the road

Yes I agree, Adsense moneymaking should not be a 'career' or business goal. Affiliate programs will be around as long as adsense I believe.

I was just curious, don't worry I'm not thinking of investing $100 million in an adsense website, more just an interest to see what others think.

I hope adsense survive for the next 5 years at least

IMO if adsense leaves, google leaves.. if google leaves.. the internet leaves, competition will either increase or decrease.. if it decreases which is more likely... CPC rates will probably increase so google is making money somewhere else.... i think it will still be here... but i don't think the competition will be..which some people might benefit from i guess.. (depending on the cost of living then).. you cant really tell thats just like asking if earth will be around in 20 years

Google has been around for less than 15 years. The world has been around for billions.

Googles probability of survival is probably a billion times less than the world.

Sorry I know you didn't mean it seriously but, I am 99.99999999% sure the world will be around in 20 years. I am 70% sure google will be around in 20 years.
