I’m New Here, part 3

April 22, 2007 · Filed Under Intro

Hold it, you might have a little catching up to do. Part 1 and part 2 are here. All caught up? Ok, good.

I’ll admit it, I get caught up in reading the success stories on the Digital Point AdSense forums. The stories on there have it all. There are comedies (ex. I made 7 cents off of 15 clicks), horror stories (ex. my $400 per day AdSense account was closed by Google), and even documentaries (ex. follow my progress as I try to make a living off of AdSense).

I don’t personally plan on trying to follow any of these scripts but you could put me in the category of “I have to see it for myself to believe it”. This isn’t a “I want to quit my job and live off AdSense money” thing. It’s more of a “hey it would be cool to make 50 cents a day off this thing”. So now you know where I’m at with that. As a matter of fact if you look around right now (and I know you’re not because no one has visited since the blog “opened”), as of April 22nd, you won’t see a single AdSense advertisement. I think I will get some content up here and start getting some visitors before I flip the switch on AdSense.

“But I have Adbock Plus installed so I wouldn’t see your stupid ads anyway,” said the haggard old internet surfer. Well good for you, and so do I. You read that correctly. I, the very person who you just read wants to make 50 cents a day from AdSense actually blocks the ads when he goes to other sites. I don’t leave my firewall without it.

That should be a pretty good introductory trio of posts. Feel free to add me to your feed list. I hope you check back in from time to time to laugh and point at my silly AdSense ad placement, scoff at my inability to know when to use “its or it’s”, and call me names in general.

Hope to see you around.
