There are for sure money to be made out there by simply using Google AdSense. But how many of us succeed? Sure enough, you can follow Darren Rowse’s excellent AdSense tips or learn some common sense simple tricks from someone like Garry Conn. But despite the advice, ebooks and a whole bunch of effort you can end up with an AdSense dashboard that looks something like this:
Or better yet, when you succeed at making rent in one month just from AdSense you get banned. It happens. Ask this guy.
So I decided to share my secret method of increasing my AdSense earnings with at least 100 per cent. Here’s all you need in order to apply this simple, creative, efficient, idiot-proof method:
- one piece of paper, ideally blank
- one pen or better yet felt tip pen
- one plastic bowl. Ask your girlfriend for one or steal it from your dog. Anything for a good cause.
Better than a $9,99 e-book so far, right? Now, prepare for the process itself: every day when you get home from your crappy ass day job, empty your pockets. You’ll find a reasonable amount of pennies and dimes and once in a blue moon the $1 piece. That will suffice. You are now fully prepared to fill your AdSense bowl and double your earnings.
In one swift stroke open your dreaded dashboard. It will have to show something like: 500 impressions, 1 click and perhaps 17 cents in earnings. This is where you count your pennies, so to speak. Pick the plastic bowl described above, match the exact amount your AdSense dashboard just showed using the aforementioned pocket change and label the bowl “AdSense earnings”. Sure, you can go for sophisticated methods, like using two bowls, for each of your no good sites and call the bowls “Channel One” and “AdSense Monitor Two”, but that is only if you’re aiming to become an AdSense superstar.
By the end of the month you will have something as encouraging as this:
Bonus tip
If you live in a country like Canada, where your favorite smokes are $12.71 a pack, then look at the bright side: you’ll usually have 15 dollars in bills, meaning you get $2.29 in change, thus making you eligible for triple adsense earnings.
Please make sure you understand this is a Google joke motivated by the apparent reason-less ban on Billy Spinner’s AdSense account. Girlfriend, dog and plastic bowl are fictional characters. Any resemblance between the AdSense bowl and your home plastic bowl is purely accidental.
Dude, seriously you should charge for these awesome tips. Sign me up for that next e-book =)
Like Tibi said, a book written buy you would have a great success
I love it, love the picture to, great stuff. I figure google was a little low on funds and had to pay a few employees lunches with my money
Would it be against TOS to encourage your friends to CLICK? lol. That was a fun post to read.
Tibi, it’s pretty easy dude, you just need to start smoking. Thanks Alex, I’ll start a cook book he he.
Cybrspin, your money bought some poor people McDonald’s. Doesn’t that make you feel better?
Garry, holy moly, you mean to tell me that encouraging your friends to click is breaking some Google rules? (you shouldn’t even talk, your adsense plastic bowl is probably packed with Franklins)
I think I may have gotten myself banned for my own stupidity (well that part is a given on all my theories), but being a memeber of many social communities, I have had discussions about adsense in forums and post comments like these. I never spoke any numbers or anything, but who knows with google.
I’ve had it running for years on 3 blogs. 4 yrs ago when I started wanted to test googles click fraud algo. So I went over to my buddies and clicked 31 times in less than 1 min. I never got banned then, so I for sure as fuck didn’t get banned by the few regulars who may have clicked more than once this month.
Google always deducts 2 or 3 dollars in clicks from me every payout.
Never been an issue before, I expected 10-20$ this time because of payout size and ecpm. I figured some advertisers would request clicks back, they always do. At no one day in the last 4 months did I have a ridiculous amount of clicks. - A 10-20 click day for me is a dancing day, it only took my blogs 3 - 5 clicks to have a very good day.
-My ecpm was high
- I use custom channels with good descriptions and good keywords for advertisers to drop what ad where they want when they want in any of my blogs from one publisher id.
- Well over 14k quality niche pages indexed under one publisher id.
- All 3 blogs had good pagerank up until recently when one lost all of its pagerank(could be related to this who knows)
- All 3 were niche blogs receiving great paying niche ads(some of these ads have been running for yrs, same ads over and over, companies like Iams and bell and purina have had ads there since day one)
- Some very hi paying targetted ads at times, have for a long time, even when I’d only get 4 or 5 clicks a month I could make good money, my best click in 2005 was for $6.90 when I posted information on my blog about VOIP.
Clicks in the $2.00 range were an everyday thing.
Then theres the conspiracy theory, funny how I ran adsense for yrs with no problem. But less than 72 hours after killing my blogspot account and moving to wordpress I got banned. Maybe my redirect from my blogger blog to my new wordpress blog was considered a threat.
Who knows.
But google could have at least responded to my appeal and gave me something more vauge then “I’m a threat to the adsense network”.
I think I deserve that much after years of only their ads on my blogs and hundreds of thousands of impressions. I never ever expected to make money, all of a sudden I was luck and was, I was a pretty happy guy when once every 18 months I would get 100$, but the last 4 months my adsense was on fire. If I had gotten the traffic levels of some of my friends I would have been making some very serious money. I was up to making per week what I would make in 12-14 months, every week for the last 3-4 months.
Was just nice to see a little extra money in my pocket for all my hard work. Thanks google
LoL that is an awesome tip, I was trying to look around for some tips about how to try and get more traffic to my sites, or try to convert traffic to clicks or signs or anything that will just about help produce a few clicks for a few cents in earnings, but here you have it, a tried and true method (No sarcasm at all). It is amazing how much change we have at the end of the day. I think I might have at least $2.00+ of change in my pocket after a day out at work.
Lets see the breakdown:
I’ll start my day off with about $20.00
Breakfast snack at Mcdonalds about $2.15 that gives me about 85cents that I throw into the cars holder and not use again.
A Starbucks coffee for $3.85. another 15 cents
Than some lunch with the coworkers, my share comes out to around $6.79, another 21 cents
Than a candy bar here and there from the snack vending machine but I won’t have any quarters so I’ll spend $0.75 leaving me with a new quarter for a snack tomorrow. Overall during my day I’ll have anywhere from $1.00 - $3.00 in changola. Way more earnings than I’ll have from Google in a week.
Thinking about it if I signed up for Bank of Americas keep the change where they’ll match my change and put it to the savings I’ll double my earnings even quicker!
Thank you!
@Harry: If you lived in Canada, you’d get away with Tim Horton’s coffee. Same shit for 2 bucks. Adsense would be a kid’s game.
