Wohoo!
I’ve been posting to MasterTheWeb for a month and a half now. But up until this point I have never made a single cent from this website. Until yesterday, that is, when I got my first adsense click from here. It was a small amount, certainly nothing to call home about, but I’ve been wondering for a while now why I wasn’t getting any clicks. Well I’ve finally got one and I hope this is the start of many more to come.
Another thing that I want to address is the apparent almost complete shutdown of Adsense on the weekends. I didn’t make anything on Saturday or Sunday or Monday and almost nothing Tuesday—despite having almost a combined 1000 impressions between them—and I only made $.40 yesterday, but I awoke early this morning to $1.25 already for today. Certainly I enjoy these times when I get good paying clicks within a small amount of time and early in the day, but it doesn’t always extend into latter in the day, which is always a little disapointing. This leads me to another interesting observation. Looking at my adsense logs, almost half of my earnings this month have come from clicks on Thursdays.
In other news, due to the poor performance of my Ads over the weekend I’ve fallen below my desired average of $1 per day for this month. Also, I applied and was rejected from BannerConnect.net. They looked promising, but I gave a very conservative estimate of how many impressions I could serve each month on the application and I was blankly rejected because I hadn’t put enough. This annoys me severely because I know that the site I was applying for gets well over 100,000 page views, and should therefore have 100,000 impressions per day. But I’m a realist, I know that it doesn’t actually get that many ad impressions because no program I’ve tried has been able to deliver that many. The most disapointing thing of all of this is that I still haven’t been able to monetize this site(and another like it) that I’m getting so much traffic to because no very good advertising program(Adsense and YPN don’t allow their ads on these sites) will accept it despite there being nothing really wrong with the content. There is only a perceived/opinionated/close-minded way of rejecting it and all the ad networks I’ve contacted are looking through these close-minded goggles.
