A few weeks ago, we announced the Gold Star Partnership Showcase as an opportunity to publicly recognize some of our amazing AdSense partners.
We asked you, our blog readers, to submit your sites for consideration and to tell us why your site should be featured. After carefully reviewing each submission, we've selected three publishers that we believe clearly demonstrate the qualities we were looking for:
We'll share the stories of these three publishers over the coming weeks. Today we'd like to highlight Brandon Cornett, founder of HomeBuyingInstitute.com:
Site: HomeBuyingInstitute.com
Vertical: Real Estate
Name: Brandon Cornett
AdSense publisher for: 3-5 years
Tell us about your site:
“The Home Buying Institute is an educational resource for home buyers. In addition to publishing in-depth tutorials on the home-buying process, we conduct our own consumer research. We share all of this information with our readers, and at no cost. We also publish a real estate news blog that is currently included within Google News.”
What makes homebuyinginstitute.com a great AdSense partner?
“We publish unbiased information and advice for home buyers. We are not trying to sell them anything, like most housing-related websites. We are dedicated to creating a smarter class of home buyers and homeowners, to reduce the chances of another housing crisis.
We are currently finishing a major content overhaul. Over the last few months, we have been updating and/or expanding every single article on the site. More than 200 new articles have been published since March 2011.”
Why do you love AdSense?
“Revenue. Simplicity. Reach.”
Finally, we want to thank everyone who took the time to submit their site for consideration! It's always great to see the vast array of sites in the AdSense network, and we hope you'll continue to develop and optimize your sites.
