Adsense Earnings...

I thought I would mention Adsense as I am new here, inexperienced and in need of advice.  I started this blogging as a means to show people my photos and a little bit about myself.  I have read hundreds of blogs and seen a lot of vlogs and I love the community that appears to be circling around here.  I love how blunt people are and how we're generally not afraid of voicing our opinions online due to the protection that anonymity brings.  I then came across Adsense (Google) and the small possibility that you can earn 'real' money through advertising.  So I decided to set up my Google Adsense profile and see exactly what all the hype was about.

Now, I'm still very new to this and I only get a couple of views a day with even fewer 'clicks' on my adverts.  However, in principal, it would appear that there is potential to using this scheme.  I think that every new blogger needs to realise that this isn't an over-night, get rick quick method - but instead simply start blogging because you have something you want to say or share with the 'community'.

Wishing for more clicks... Adsense works on the idea that the more people who click on your adverts, the more revenue you will receive.  But over at Google; they're not stupid.  They keep a close eye on your links, your content and 'you' in general.  You are not allowed to ask people to click on your ads, nor can you click on them yourselves - obviously.  The grey area comes when discussing methods on creating more traffic to your blog and ways of making your ads more appealing...

The best answer for this... make your blog as interesting, relevant and exciting as possible.  By doing that, Google will 'make' you more searchable, more people will find you, and you will get those all important clicks! Visit other peoples blogs and see what they're doing, click on their ads and maybe Karma will have it that one day, these people may click on your ads in return...
