Something New

Today I learned something new. The MFA - web sites. That MFA stands for Made For AdSense. It is simply a web site made to trick you to click on the AdSense ads. It is not very clear for me, because I do not know how the AdWord is working, but as I understand there are people who is offering a 2 or 3 cents for a some words, and then have 500 visitors for $10-$15 . When the visitor is on this web site (MFA) he/she is clicking on the ads served from AdSense, because there are not other links... Probably it is psychology or logic which is telling to the visitor that: "if you click on the add you will leave this stupid web site and steel have an open browser window"...
Usually that click is worthy 15-20 cents, so there are very big profit in this.
Some people in the forums are reporting as much as 300%.
Sometimes this ads are served on our web sites and we are earning only 2-3 cents from the ad.
So this web sites are no good for us, the honest AdSense entrepreneurs.
But do not worry - there are cure for that too.
It is Competitive Ad Filter.
So you just need to enter the list of the MFA web sites and after a day or two you can expect to improve your earnings from the AdSense...
You need to see which ads are served on your web site or blog and to do your own list of MFA web sites.

It is not hard, but is not easy too!


I started with Google AdSense on 9 of November. Today is 25 of November and until today I earned $16.30.
I am blogging more than 6 months and in this period I build substantial public on my blog. This blog do not have an option to support a AdSense, so I switch to blogger.com. Now I am writing the whole text on www.blogger.com, and only the first few sentences of the text on that old blog of mine. So everybody who like to read the whole text need to come to read on my blog on blogger.com.
This strategy show that in no time everybody can build a traffic only if is working hard.
Also when I post a comment on other blogs, I copy paste the URL of the text which I thing that will be interesting for them.
Usually I have 100-150 visitors per day.
Number of visitors are essential and for bigger number the content is very important. So if you like to earn with AdSense it is better if you have to tell something.

Google is paying only with checks

I taught that this business will be better and better with every passed day. Instead of that - it is worse. The first couple of days, I had at last $1,5-$2 and this last couple of days, I am earning $0,5-$1. Now I have $14 in total.
What is wrong?
Probably nobody is reading my blogs and nobody is interested about the ads served bu google.
I can see that this blog have very low number of visitors, which mean that I am far from my 256 RAM...
The payment method is a problem too. Google is paying only with checks. That is very bad, because the fees for checks processing out of USA are very big. At least a 35-40% of my check will end in the banking transfers, fees and other banking services.
Do you thing that nobody informed Google for wire transfer or debut cards? Why to send check, when can send a debut card with google logo? It will be great for promotion of their business.
Sometimes the focus on the little people is not what is the imperative for the big companies.
And somewhere I read that Google is making 99% of the profits from this business.
Stay worm...

Cup of old traditional coffee...

Today was a little slim.
I have less than $12 in total for 6 days of work.
But other blog where I am posting a long meaningful posts did not work all day. Even now I can't open it. Probably I lost a dollar or two there.
Today I went to my friend who have a small shop for custom made audio components and electric guitar equipment to help him. He have a lot of work in this period of year. It is a winter and all musicians are refurbishing their equipment.
We had a cup of old traditional coffee. Not that filter crap.
It was a good day after all...

This is great

This is great.
For the last 5 days, I made $10.63.
Probably the experienced people who are into Google AdSense and earn with, will say - nothing special.
But as the person who live in a country where ordinary people are living with a $2 per day is a great success.
What mean $2 for me?
For example with $2, I can buy one quart (or liter) of milk for my kid, 2 loafs of bread and half a dozen eggs.
Is it funny to tell you about this?
OK! Then, I will mention that now I am only a week far from my extra 256 RAM.

Stay healthy and warm.
Of course if people from the south hemisphere is reading this, then this advice is not for them.
They can have one extra beer for me too.
Cheers!!!

Lazy weekend

This weekend I was a little bit lazy...
Also the visitors to my blogs were lazy too.
I can see from my adsense channels that this weekend everybody was out in the city having fun.
Large part of my visitors are surfing the net from the office, and the weekends are a little empty.
Even with this problems I manage to make some money and now I have total of $6.72.
I set up some other blogs and now I have 6 of them on a different themes and writing about different issues.
I hope that after some time I will make more money.
Now I am 19 dollars far from my 256 RAM module, which I desperately need to have.
It is a little bit hard to post every day and it takes a time but I promise to share my experience as frequently as I can.
Until my next post, stay healthy and try to have more tea with lemon. Also try to have a raw cabbage with a little lemon or vinegar and pepper. It is excellent salad and source of vitamin C. We all need that in this cold months.
If you are smokers you need 3 times more vitamins than non smokers.

$4.44 for three days

After three days, I have $4.44.
It is not bad for start.
I create another page on other blog, and I expect revenues to start streaming from there too.
After all, I thing this is not a bad idea at all.
That RAM module of 256 MB, which I was planing to buy, but never have some extra bucks, will be bought after all.
Every time when I like to buy that RAM, I have some bill, which need to be paid urgently...
Yes I know...
Life suck and then you die...
But after all, there is a way to do something, only if you are willing to try.
And I am trying and trying...

Second day with AdSense

Yesterday, I set up this blog and I wire it with a google AdSense.
It take a half an hour for the adds to show up, but then it was ready for the experiment.
I brought some traffic, from some other blogs, where I already had an account and also I contacted some friends (thanks Skype and ICQ) to inform them about my intention to start this project.
I get around 100 visits, but only 10 clicks.
From the first 2 clicks, I get $0.32 (which is $0.16 per click - WOW!), but after 8 clicks I get $0.80 (which is $0.10 per click).
Last time(this morning), when I check my google account I had $1.10 from 10 clicks (which is like $0.11 per click).
Probably the price of the click is not the same for different web sites and words.
For more info. please visit me again tomorrow. The updates and my experience will be shared on a daily basis.

Every content is worth something

When we post on the blogs, we create content.
Every content is worth something - expressed in money.
Can WE - THE BLOGGERS, earn from our content.
The answer is yes.
This post is created in order to experiment with google AdSense.

Of course in my next posts, I will share this experience with everybody.
