phwoar, it's got a big click on that!
I had a big single click of 1.57 yesterday! I added some pictures above the adsense and it's upped my click-thru rate nicely. Only 3 clicks but they all added up to $1.98 which can't be bad!
I've just installed an image hosting script on one of my sites which will get the ads treatment when it gets a few users, for now it can collect names and emails for each registered user so that might worth something too! the list the list!
My topsites directory is going well, over 70 sites listed there and 3 lots of adsense ads which bring in a few pennies a day. The best thing about adsense for me? putting it on a page I was going to make anyway and knowing that over the period of the year it will bring in a few dollars. I make quite a lot of sites and information pages for my elottery affiliates which tend to get viralled when they have something useful on them so an extra bit of income from something I was already doing is fine by me!
I've also created a splash page for my free go on the elottery site and adjusted the code so other elottery members can use it too, that's gonna help with increasing page rank and the link to my team portal is on every page view so when that gets some sweet traffic I will add a small non-competitive advert on there too.
one more... I coded a fair rotator script to be used with the forum team, the stats have an adsense module on that too so another one to add to the "set and forget" list.
only around 10 dollars a week coming in but that's 500 bucks a year for stuff I was already going to do anyway. oh, there's some income coming from my xbox 360 swiki too so I made a new swiki that should attract a higher adsense rate. I'm just linking to it from my high PR sites so it gets noticed quicker and then it should make me some more pennies.
wouldn't it be nice to have 10 dollars a day coming in? as long as I keep doing what I'm doing then I see no reason why that target wont be reached by March 2007.

It grows in your sleep!
It's been a while since I posted mainly because I have been busy growing my lotto business up to it's highest level in 2 years. Sweet! Part of that business is providing support, earlier posts explain how I set up a website with some training videos using camtasia and put adsense either side of the video pane.
today it got 3 clicks at 1.15 USD each! it grew without me knowing, I think I had better use the more advanced version of channels and label each video differently so I know which ones are the profitable ones.
And I thought I wouldn't have anything to do at work on a Friday! :-)

woohoo it's up to 3.90 USD
I had my best day yesterday with adsense earnings, $3.90 !!
It looks like my new pages are doing well, I did some more and promoted them on some forums (I'll do some newsletters to subscribers too) and within a day they had hundreds of PV's and around 6% CTR which I am told is quite good!
The ads I put on my elottery site are doing well too, I changed from adsense to my own ads pointing to various other interests of mine but did them in the same style as adsense and they have been getting clicks! not only that, they are getting people as prospects. The grab a grand competition, the results by email and others are all getting at least one person a day entering their name and email address so I'm really pleased with that. I'm also really pleased with the php I wrote and added to the wordpress template that randomizes the placement and content of the ads. teehee the geek in me is proud.
Not expanding my empire for the adsense at the moment, I think it's important to do stuff that you are passionate about. If someone isn't interested in something, how can they make a site about it that's interesting? they can't!
I'm in this for the long term gain, no adsenser ever made a fortune in a week. It takes time and effort to build up a portfolio of websites. Sure, you could buy a whole set of ready made ones but so can anyone else. Not unique, not yours, not easy!
Onwards and upwards, multiple streams of income and list building is what I'm concentrating on now. It's been years since I started to do the internet thing and it's only the past 2 years that I've been making any money so now I'm up for making lots more!

62c for 1 click!
I made a single click earning of 62c yesterday. Because I use channels on my adsense settings I know where it came from and I know what to do about it... make some more pages just like the one it came from!
That's what I am going to try and do this week, it's spurred me on to make a portal site for the current pages too so lots of geeky things to play with this week.
My elottery business is going well too, some new members coming in and eager for some advice so hopefully they'll be able to listen to it and go and do something other than complain about how they have tried everything and it didn't work. Seriously, if they have tried 'everything' then what can I tell them? they would have done it already!

Adsense referrals add up!
I had my first day of adsense earnings going over 2 dollars yesterday! 1 dollar was from a firefox with google toolbar download. Sweet! Now I feel the need to make sure everyone I know has firefox installed when I visit their house. I don't care who it is, they iz gettin it!
My biggest click so far was for 34 cents which isn't bad. Just a few more thousand of them and I'm away.
My fake google ads seem to be working, 3 more prospects entered into the competition to win 1000 pounds and a couple more have subscribed to my How to Earn a Wage at Home series so looks like people prefer google type ads compared to simple internal links!!

Fake adsense code!
I have been getting a few clicks on my lottery site but mainly for less than 5 cents and more than likely, it went through to a competitors site. They got more clicks than my own personal banners so I decided to make fake google ads that all point to my own domains!
I whipped up a nifty bit of php to randomize the ads that are shown and slipped a call to it every 3 posts in the main wordpress loop.
They look quite good and I'm pleased with the results. (VWD Lottery Blog)
I've been a merry php'er this week and it's really satisfying to expand my geeky-ness. My training videos (as described in previous post) page has been php-ified after I learnt how to print the contents of a directory out. I went from a few lines of code on a snippet to a full dynamic page content made from php. Random blocks of adsense code fitted in between clickable links to all the videos found in the subdirectory. Oh what a great geeker I am!. (Affiliate Video Training).
Now time to make another site, as Wissam has done, he suggests making a turnkey site which I am more than capable of doing (especially with the right script!). I already have a couple PR4 sites and directories that are ready for something new so now to choose my subject....(suggestions?)
