AdSense earned me $2.65!
Yes, it’s sad. I had hoped to earn $5.00 by the end of this month, but it simply didn’t happen. Here’s why I think it didn’t happen:
- I didn’t dedicate as much time to my blog as I had intended. I had planned to write a post every other day, or at least every three days. I failed that intention – miserably.
- I believe I’ve been smart priced. My other website – bloopdiary.com – probably got me smart priced. It had such a low CTR, that I decided to remove it.
- I have only been displaying advertisements to search engine referrals. I’ve decided to change this. I want to eventually turn this blog into a major source of income, and to do that I have to bite the bullet on some ideas. Since then, I’ve been displaying more advertisements and have retained the same CTR.
- The site had some trouble in the middle of the month with nameservers, causing it to randomly vanish. But I’ve corrected this now.
Nonetheless, $2.65 is a reasonable figure. At this rate, I work out that each of my post’s is worth a dollar over the period of a year. It’s more than minimum wage, it just takes a long time to pay off… but assuming I was smart priced, each post could be worth more than a dollar. Oh boy, bring on February!
