Clicks Cannot disclose, but <10
Total Earnings $0.00
Man.......
I started using adsense on my blog (see profile) back in late Jan and have to date absolutely nothing. (I hope it's not against the TOS to disclose earnings of 0.00 dollars). I try to post relevant content everyday less than 50 visitors.
My blog is hosted on blogger, which is the highest-ranking blog site on the net.
This is still a brand new site but you'd think with the amount of traffic blogger gets everyday, I would be getting more traffic and would have made at least five cents by now. :/
I feel I'm missing very crucial points of making any money with adsense.
I'm having the exact same problem.I started using adsense on my blog (see profile) back in late Jan and have to date absolutely nothing. (I hope it's not against the TOS to disclose earnings of 0.00 dollars). I try to post relevant content everyday less than 50 visitors.

1) Why not get a domain name and hosting? If the answer is "my site isn't important enough to do that" then there's your problem right there.
2) Are you actually providing useful content? Why would anyone want to visit YOUR blog? If it's just an online diary, don't expect to make any money at all.
3) Do you go to other blogs and click on their ads? If so, why? If not, why not?
4) Think of your website as a storefront. Are you giving people any reason to be interested in the ads?
It's not enough to post "relevant content." It has to be useful, desirable, and maybe even addictive.
Thanks for the tips. Hopefully the content is useful, it's a blog about personal development. I tried to create a blog that would cater to everyone.
I see my first mistake; trying to monetize a Blogger blog. The only users who are reading my blog are the other Blogger users who know all about adsense.
I've been thinking about getting my blog it's own Website, but I concerned about domain hosting costs. I've seen many cheap one but I'm wondering if the quality of hosting relates to the price.
When I go to other blogs, I usually don't click on the ads unless they interest me. Though, lately I click on them just to help the blogger out.
By the way is there an option to edit post previous posts? I was writing the last one too quickly and now notice some errors.
Oh, one more thing: I don't abuse the adsense idea and make the ads look easy to the human eye. For instance, you can use a color text set to #FF0000 and it WILL affect your vision. I'm very serious about that. Try looking at background color #000000 with text set to #FF0000, or even worse, background = #0000FF and text = #FF0000 or other way around. You'll go ballistic [a bit of exaggeration] after a minute looking.
I dont understand, I set up my MFA site a few hours ago and have hardly made anything yet. I read about people making a million from adsense, whats the deal, I don't have all week to become rich, I need it now.I spent over 4 hours downloading a template and modifying it with my logo. I figure I deserve at least a few hundred dollars for my 4 hours of work. Why isn't this get-rich-quick scheme working for me like everybody else.
Why?
Because blogging topics change every post (usually) therefore keyword ranking will be low, therefore google ranking would be low, therefore people looking for your your specific topic will be few.
You don't tend to read blogs because you are looking for information, thereore you may be less likely to follow adverts for more information on that topic.
I am rebuilding my blog based on one particular factor. Hopefully it will rank high for the factor I have chosen, which is little covered on the net. I am making sure the H tags are set correctly and each post is focused on the topic.
That's what I'm realizing after 3 months of running adsense on my blog with no profit. Adsense isn't for most blogs.
I'm learning how to earn with adsense the hard way; at least it's now rather than later
Yes, but I really hope he does not refer to me.
Cause an MFA would have made at least $ 0,50.
:)
The point I was trying to make was that after the years of hard work and dedication so many people put into their websites just so they can start seeing a return on their investments. People waiting 6 months to get into the ODP. Some people having issues with google that take 9-12 months to clear up. Some people working 80+ hours a week with almost no sleep just to grab their little share of the market.
In this thread we have one person who is confused why he isn't making a profit in a week and another guy who started a blog in january and also isn't a millionair yet, oh, and he helps out his friends by clicking on their ads.
Once, I accidently clicked on one of my own ads. It showed up as a click but paid nothing. Seems reasonable. I have never seen a click not count besides that one, so from my personal experience, I have to also wonder where your 10 clicks came from.
I'd be worried too. There are legit ways for this to happen, but it kind of suggests Google are treating all the clicks as invalid.
This is not an MFA-thread, so at the risk of continuing and off-topic issue:
Keep in mind that WW sees some new members now and then who ask questions or make remarks that at least look as if they want to get rich quick no matter TOS if they even read that at all:-(
That's very annoying for people who have worked by the book 50hrs a week for many years.
The trick for some of us is ask slightly annoying counter-questions, or add a little sarcasm (of course, without getting offensive!). It's a good way to discover the purpose behind questions.
Most of the time it's OK, but sometimes a touch of sarcasm results in a counterblast of the OP completely exposing him or her as a fraudster.
It helps WW-members to decide on whether to invest in certain new members or not.
My first questions on this forum where extremely stupid but the community soon found out I am just an innocent r*t*rd;-)
I have about 1000 clicks per day
