I joined the google adsense program in April 2008, full of hope at making tens of dollars a day. As you can imagine days, and weeks passed without me earning a single cent. I had a relatively good blog, but my ad placement was useless. A few months later when I learned about ad placement, and making your ads not look like ads I seen a few cents appearing in my adsense account. I then started up some niche blogs, and created back links using sites like ezine articles, hubpages and squidoo, and low and behold I started to see a few dollars in my account. I kept updating my blogs, using popular keywords with low competiton, and still seen only a few dollars a month. Some of my blog posts were even appearing on the first page of google for a range of my keywords, but still my best month on adsense was a mere $10, which basically meant I would have to wait around 10 months before making payout. I decided that was far too much work.
Around the time I signed up to google adsense I also joined another site, called xomba. I wrote a few xomblurbs and xombytes on xomba at the start and then basically left as I seen no earnings. In the last few months before I gave up adsense for good I have been spending more and more time on xomba, and I am so glad I didnt quit. I decided to study the TOS on xomba, the make money guide and the popular tags, and off I went and created some xomblurbs. Thats when I realised the power of adsense, some days I was making $3 or $4, this was more than I made in some months. I was thrilled. I then had a $6 day and I kept posting and working hard towards my first google adsense check. My best ever day on Xomba was around $13. How great, for less than an hours work. Now I am waiting on my first check and I have made over $15 this month already.
For those of you struggling with google adsense, you have to see what works for you. Do not give up like I nearly did. I will no doubt be back with part 2 when I earn more with google adsense, who knows I may make $100 a day.
