Two days ago, just about 22 months after I started blogging, I reached $50 on Adsense. Half the minimum payout… Give me another 22 months, and I’ll get my first check in October 2010.

Wonderful prospects. Maybe I’ll save up my other blog income, buy a trip to las vegas nevada, and just go crazy. You know, spend it all at once…

I did get a cheque the other day though. If you’ve noticed the Savvy Source widget/quiz thing in my sidebar – it paid off, and I got my first ever bona fide US dollar cheque for $44,16. The widget has been up for 3 months or so. The campaign is over now, but they’re working on finding a new sponsor, so I’m hopeful…

Do I give up on Adsense? No way. I’ll stick it out – don’t want to lose my 50 bucks. They will turn into 100 bucks – eventually. I hope.

Stumble it!

Don’t you just hate that! Sometimes Adsense does great, like a few $$ a day, and then I get my .01 cent days…great…

Good for you for hanging in there! On my old blog I had Adsense for a while and I rarely made anything. Hey maybe you will hit the jackpot in Vegas!!

happy weekend:-)))

I’m up to $58 whole dollars on AdSense. Whoohoo! ;) I haven’t seen too many advert sites giving out much dough. Pepperjam did pay me the $10 for signing up though, and I have made a few bucks here and there through other means (yes, they were legal! lol).

it took my site three months to get past $100 on google… I say that not to brag but hopefully that it can serve as some kind of example to show that it’s possible! Also, it helps to have one focused topic so that the ads get better… just stick it out, like you said!

…I just helped you out a bit ;) !

Also, try putting the ads between posts. I was only averaging about .01 a day.. and now about $1! That’s a big difference!

Go Graham Go!

This may sound silly, but put an Adsense ad in the top left or right corners of you blog. I looked for your ad and couldn’t even find it at first. I had to scroll down to see it.
