Another $100 From AdSense Due Before Christmas

Day to day is how Kamila is taking thing right now. Who knows what will happen in the future is the though that is fixed in her mid this weekend as she takes a couple of days break from blogging. Who would have thought Kamila would have ended up in Bulgaria as a blogger two years ago?

AdSense came to mind as Kamila’s mind wandered into money making ideas. This week saw the AdSense account nudge over $100 and therefore a payment is due through Western Union before Christmas. What great timing! This is the second $100 plus payment by AdSense over the year and of course once set up is a passive form of earning. Kamila knows that on average only a few cents a day are made, it can be 10 days on occasions where nothing is earned then suddenly $2-3 dollars are made in a day!

Not being an expert by any means on AdSense, Kamila knows that is she took the AdSense tips that are given on many money making blogs she could make a bit more out of it. This does mean that she would be writing centring on AdSense keywords rather than having a free hand and free willed. But on the other hand what is she doing when she write paid reviews anyway? It is no different and of course Google don’t look as serious at directed key-worded AdSense posting.

Kamila did dabble with AdBrite but found that this really didn’t make any money at all and the ads were a bit naughty on occasions. So she stuck with AdSense and of course has built up a little money for Christmas not for present, but to cover fuel for heating.

Kamila says, "Well worth the wait from AdSense!"

Thoughts Of New Ways Of Making More Money By Blogging

Kamila hope everyone had a great weekend - She did popping peppers on the barbecue!

Back to blogging mode, Kamila has looked again at how you can make more inroads to making money online other than Pay Per Post jobs that a detrimental to your blog in Google assessing PR. Kamila has seen quite clearly this puts so many people off that building their blogs up to qualify for posts then see all their hard work undone isn’t worth the effort.

With AdBrite and AdSense thematic systems that pay for being clicked on, Kamila has found that you need massive traffic to get anywhere near enough just to cover Internet overheads. Kamila’s team has made nearly $200, but it has taken near on 18 months to earn that on AdSense. The AdBrite was experimented on for a couple of months and Kamila earned less than a dollar, no good at all and all down to lack of traffic. Even with hundreds of EC droppers each day, this kind of traffic does not venture into AdSense or AdBrite systems as 99% are drop and run traffic.

So without major traffic and being hoodwinked into thinking that Entrecard traffic does the job, there is a dead end for the vast majority of bloggers trying to earn this way. Other avenues have to be around and the trend nowadays for decent traffic is competitions. Mr Cornyman (Martin) with his blog http://cornys-moneypage.blogspot.com/ and the 1,000,000 EC competition has taken the bull by the horns by initiating the biggest competition to date and it will be very interesting to see what kind of results he gets on this blog. He is using Entrecard as the pivotal centre of the competition, nothing wrong with that as Entrecard encourages it, naturally.

There are many other way to make a bit more blogging and Kamila know you have to be quite original in though and almost unique with ideas that might work. She does know that the wheel can be invented time and time again and with this an old method maybe that had become obsolete a few years ago with be re introduced with a new hat and take off again. A year ago the award chain blogging was the top, this has died now, this will of course come back to popularity in the future, but not as we know it.

In the meantime, if you are a EC member give Mr Cornyman some support with sponsoring EC credits, Ad space, hard dosh, or other prizes that might want to give away. Kamila has given ad space and 5000 EC credits and feels good about it, not just from getting good backlinks either! His site is here Cornys Moneypage Blog or just click on the box below for details of the competition.

Happy blogging as always!

Kamila Wonders Why AdSense Gives Nothing

Kamila was looking back at here Adsense record and just coudn't understand why she was getting clicks of the ads but not getting anything for it. Here is an example:

Page Impressions	Clicks	Page CTR	Page eCPM [?]	Earnings

Five clicks of ads and it didn't even pay one cent for each of those clicks!

Kamlia knows keywords are important and she always uses keywords in the title and throughout the articles she writes. This was the very reason she now uses AdBrite - At least a few cents are rolling in rather than nothing.

It is a wandering camel whe asks whether anyone else has this same problem with AdSense. If Kamila can get it configured correctly or diagnose the problem then I think she would certainly entertain the system again as AdBrite seems to have some 'strange' advertisers that pop up, not always in good taste either.

"Bye for now" says Kamila

Adbrite - Wait A Month For Accurate Stats

Image via CrunchBase

Adbrite has been running now for about a week and Kamila has just made 6 cents, actually roughly the same as she would have got for Adsense in recent history so she will pursue them for a while longer. The statistics that advertisers see don’t really show the true traffic until the traffic stats have been running for at least a month.

Kamila is still looking at other options for banners, even widget swaps from other bloggers if they wish, but she has been a but too shy to approach those that might want to do this. I won’t bring in any funds, but will get in more visitors for the sharing parties. Kamila guesses that she would have to find a blogger with a similar PR and hit rate to strike any exchange deals. Maybe she’ll get something in the pipeline later this week.

In the meantime Kamila was glad to see that Entrecard offered double points yesterday for all droppers. Unfortunately Kamila was out partying last night so couldn’t take advantage of it, if only Graham had given warning in advance rather than telling Entrecard members via a personal email halfway through the day. Maybe next time.

Kamila wishes you all a good blogging day now that Monday has passed, yes even camels don’t like Mondays.

Out With Adsense - In With AdBrite

Kamila though long and hard about gettgin rid of AdSense and the bottom line was it wasn't earning anything at all. Even when clicks were being made on the adsm Kamila found that they were only worth a couple of cents at most or nothing, more often nothing. The AdBrite system now has a chance to make a bit more hopefully.

She had to do something and now Kamila has opted for AdBrite. She will give this a go for a while as it can't do any harm. Kamila wants to make a statement about it:

"I've given AdSense a chance and it didn't work out as I didn't like the idea of being financially being force out of my Entrecard membership. I though that AdBrite looks quite a good program that takes on ads in the same way, but with a free hand to do what you want on your blog."

Well Kamlia, that really does look like you have taken the right choice and the bullying tactics of Google certain was the last straw that broke the Camel's back!
