Live.Awake: Google Adsense and this Blog

    You blood-sucking capitalist pig, you!!


    Just kidding, I hope it's successful!
  • Ben Cotten · 2 years ago
    Ha! Yeah, that's me! Always looking for a way to make an easy buck! I figure that if companies are making millions selling water in bottles (and don't get me started on having to pay for air to put in my tires), then I should be able to make $2.50 a year on my blog.

    Maybe I could sell water AND bottled air on my blog...

    Well, bottled air will be cheaper to ship....We will all click away regularly so you can earn your keep or at least fill those tires and buy a cheesburger.

    Sell out!!

    Actually, I've always looked at ads on sites as a sign of success. A popularity indicator, if you will. I say go for it!

    Just make sure they ARE contextual. This is one of the problems when I monetized my blog a while back. The ads were completely off the wall. Make sure and do your research on how to keep the ads on topic. Not only will they be less offensive, but you'll earn more that way.

    Thanks for the tip, Nathan. I'm using "section targeting" tags to help focus the ads and that seems to help a lot.

    Thanks for stopping by!

    You are a complete money-sucking, greedy, sorry rascal for doing that, Ben. In between making millions of dollars due to other companies, I love reading your blog. But - I can't do that anymore. Because you are the one person on the planet greedier than I am. You should be ashamed of yourself. You've prostituted yourself to THE MAN.
