Google Adsense is a fantastic way for any webmaster to monetize their website, but watching the click counter and income stream can be very addictive. This article explains how addictive it can become.
54% of all Google Adsense publishers admit having an addiction to this highly lucrative click income.
A recent online study conducted by a small group of Google Publishers found that 54% of all Adsense publishers where addicted to the income potential of Googles Pay Per Click system. Some publishers need therapy.
It was also found that some publishers were so addicted they where checking their Adsense statistics up to 50 times per day.
Google Adsense is a system where individuals who own content rich website’s can earn money by placing small targeted ads within the content of their website. The ads can be customised to fit within the scheme of the website and some successful publishers can earn in excess of $200,000 per month.
One publisher stated that her addiction started the day she placed the Adsense code into her html code. “I was introduced to Adsense by my boyfriend, who makes around a $1000 a month”. She went on to say that she doesn’t blame Google for her addiction, but the fever in which forums and blogs promote the fact that anyone can become rich with this scheme inspired her to keep adding pages and checking her stats.
Kate, did state that she was earning a reasonable amount of money from Google Adsense, but told us she also spent a considerable amount of money on scripts, ebooks and promises of gaining all you would ever want to know about Adsense, from forum gurus claiming they had made their fortunes and where willing to share their secrets if you deposited $97 into their PayPal account.
Rags to Riches in 51 days Example.
Another publisher I spoke to told me his addiction had made him a rich man in 51 days. “I was browsing the net on October the 15th last year and came across a website that had a photo of a guy holding a Google cheque for nearly $200,000 dollars. Under the picture it stated that this was just a 1 month pay check from Google. Lights and bells went of in my head as I thought, Man, this is what I have been looking for”.
David, had been dabbling in online money making schemes for about 6 years and to date had not been successful. But he did have 3 website’s which had 1000’s of visitors to them and after reading all he could on the subject, David placed 2 small ads on each page of his 1000 page website. “I didn’t sleep that night. I was so excited, i checked my stats every 10 minutes all night” he said. Just when he was about to give up for the night, David did his final stats check. “It was 5.50am exactly and I nearly fell off my chair. 1000 impressions, 98 clicks and a total of $18 income. I couldn’t sleep that day as I checked my stats every 15 minutes and watched the income rose to over $58 for the day.
I was addicted to this thing, this scheme was going to make me rich and I wasn’t going to miss a minute of it” David said.
David had gone from $32 in his Bank account to over $6,700 in just 51 days. He had checked his stats on average 60 times per day and had spent more than 612 hours during that 51 days optimising his sites and adding content. David also admitted just like Kate that he had spent quite a bit of his profits on “how to” books, but stated that it was money very well spent.
“I am addicted to Google Adsense” Kate told me, ” but what better addiction could you have than earning money, while doing something you love” she went on.

Backlinks Made Easy With Bog Comments

As a pro-active webmaster, you should always be looking for good opportunities to get Backlinks. Backlinks being links back to your website from another, using a keyword phrase applicable to your site and those backlinks perform much, much better, if they are one way links.
Reciprocal links used to work, but in 2008, one way and three way links are the only way to go. I suppose I had better tell you what a one way and three way links are.
One way links: are links that come from another site were you are not obligated to link back to them in a two way method.
Three Way Link: is when you link as site A links to site B. Site B links to site C, while site C links back to site A
Google especially, will reward you when you use one way and three way linking straegies on your site/s. Google in it’s search for rewarding quality websites with higher rankings, has worked out that anyone can ask someone to link to them, in return for a reciprocal link. However, getting a one way link from another site in most cases meant that if someone was linking to you, it must mean that, that site thinks that your site offered something worthy for thier visitors.
But, as we all know, unless you have something so special and so unique to have a website link to you, you have bucklys chance in getting one way links. That’s were I come in.
I have been experimenting using a piece of free software called Fast Blog Finder. I hate the bloody name, but the software is brilliant.
Basically, what the software does is find blogs that allow you to leave post comments. Now this may sound ho hum to you, but just think about it this way.
At the moment the software is free, but I don’t know for how long and you can upgrade for a small fee to the Gold Edition. I am still only using the free version but I am think very seriously about upgrading.
Now, this software can be used very affectively by spammers. But do not use this tool to spam blogs. We all hate spammers with a passion don’t we??
As I said earlier , this software allows you to leave your comments on websites that are related to yours and to get those comments approved by the blog owner is an art form of it’s own. Read the blog post and make a comment that either improves the post, or don’t bother leaving a comment at all.
I also found an article that goes into detail on how to leave a blog post comment that will get approved every time. You can find the post here 7 Little Known Ways To Get Your Comments Read
To get the most from blog post commenting, you have to do it regularly and do it well. If you could get 30 backlinks to your site using this technique, Google will reward you.
