I just asked FrumSkeptic about her yidsense ads, if she made any money and how well they're paying. She mentioned that google closed her adsense. I'm guessing this was due to someone trying to "help" her.
I was talking to one of my friends and mentioned to him that I have adsense and that they pay per click. Then I had to tell him in no uncertain terms that he's not, under any circumstance, to go to my blog and click on the ads.
If you think you're helping your fellow blogger by clicking on the ads, you're not. Google's not stupid. They monitor who clicks, from what IP, at what time and if they came from a search or directly. If they see someone clicking daily from same IP and/or who came to the site directly instead of via searching or even if by searching but from same IP or same IP pool, they will close the account and they will zero out the balance. Though your thoughts are appreciated, you actions are absolutely not.
Interesting, I didn't think they cared who clicked on it.
ReplyDeleteI never clicked on any adds, because I have a add blocker, so they don't even show up.
But o well about it going to a zero balance.
My google ads on the right don't show up for you?
ReplyDeleteYa adblocker is amazing there really are no ads at all. All the nore reason for me not to put up ads on my site.
ReplyDeleteright, I don't see any ads.
ReplyDeleteI only see a section that says friends ads, with links.
Other than that I don't see anything.
nu, so do you actually make any $?
ReplyDeleteשבוע טוב
Not much, but some. I gotta write more programming and/or other hit generating posts. My SQL posts get daily hits.
ReplyDeleteIf you write a cheat sheet for playing around with font (colors, style) etc, you'll probably get lots of hits. I wandered around to random blogs when I was searching on that topic
ReplyDeleteGood luck making money!
Very much doubt that. W3C tutorial site will always be at the top because they're awesome. And there's not much to write about fonts and colors.
ReplyDeleteabout how much $? i always figured it's not even worth the time to set it up unless you're a major-league blogger (i'm not)
ReplyDeleteLast month, $2.22. Pretty bad, I know.
ReplyDeleteIt never hurts to put it up just in case. The best way that you can check if you're gonna make money or not is to check your traffic. If most of it is coming from blog referrals and direct hits, don't bet on it. If a good percentage is coming in as organic hits from search engines, and the keywords are not relevant to your content but relevant to the ads, put the ads in right now because you're losing money.
