Mmm - I guess I would like a nice meal and a couple of glasses of wine.

In fact, I'd like to see an internal AdSense account to AdWords account feature there - good for google, they get all their money back.

AdSense revenue produced from one site is a great way of paying for AdWords to promote a new one.
I've actually wondered about setting up an AdWords ad to help people find my site. AdSense basically sees my site at a widgeting site not a widget history site as there are no ads for widget history. Widgeters are a good potential audience as they are likely to become interested in widget history. Hmm, would this be a crazy idea or does it have some merit?
Well, if there's no competition, a nickel a click isn't a bad way to test it - just give yourself a daily budget and test drive some traffic.
i promote a directory up to $10 per day, just to get a bit more traffic for my advertisers and it pays for itself in spades.
...currently adsense is paying for lunch and dinner, but i am hoping to bump up the earnings high enough to cover martinibuster's daily bar tab... it's an unreasonable goal, but i can dream, can't i? ;)
A bottle of 18-year-old Macallan for me.
>> what would you buy that you really want that leaves little change
i.e. give me an idea of what your earnings are. <sigh>
Money leads to Power, Power must be showed to be powerful.
Adsense Gives Money, so it gives Power, so it has to be showed in order to have value.
You can show it to your real friends, or you can show it to similar people. But some people do not want to show it to friends to avoid "Great, Show me how can I do the same"
</cheap philosophy>

Correction. Money itself does not lead to power. Copious amounts of it may lead to some kinds of power but making lunch money per day isn't earth shattering news.
So showing off $5 a day, or even $500 a day is not going to give an anonymous poster - with just a nick and no URL in his profile - any power at all. And since amounts can't be verified they may not even be true.
It would be pretty childish for anybody to "show off" a meagre $10 or $20 per day. Sorry, this thread just makes me sad. Like so many others in a similar vein it's started out of idle curiousity about others' earnings. I think that that's deplorable. Every so often there is a thread attempting to find out how much others are making. The posters keep trying to disguise their true intentions in a variety of ways - but it's very clear that they just want what they see as the forbidden fruit: sharing of stats/earnings figures.
Macro, don't feel sad because of this little virtual communication, keep those feeling for your important personal things.
Agreements may have a spirit, but some people of all kinds have it too... :)

Macro, why would you call $10-20 meager if you weren't trying to imply that you made more.. AKA "show off".
I always have a smile on my face when I come to posting, and a few people respond in the same spirit. But for some reason there is a guarantee on someone just putting a dampner on the thread. Why not just claim innocence and go along with the thread? Is it so difficult?
Any chance that this thread can return to it's innocent curiosity?

to cover martinibuster's daily bar tab
Whew, Patrick Deese, overacheiver! ;-]
I could buy a gumball...
Brain is withering. Must stop reading WW and start coding and writing copiously.
To answer the original poster, Frasier Season 2 on DVD (sale price at Amazon) and lunch at Quizno's. ;) I'll tell you how much I made from my real job last year, too, if you want to know....and what I pay for rent... and how much I have in the stock market...
There are too many real problems in the world to get worked up about a question like this.
What was wrong with my question :(
PS. Porche should be in the driveway by 2015
Spicing up the ploy with a little humor almost makes the dish look palatable, but flaunting the rules isn't palatable for Google. Allowing this "approach" to run flaunts Google's rules and such "boy, are we clever" pranks can erode WW's reputation for professionalism.
There's funny spots here and there, and I know the jokers and enjoy their humor, but clearly there's also a juvenile element of "hehe, let's cleverly thumb our nose at Google's non-disclosure rule, teehee".
A word to the wise: Subversion is a dish best served without any fanfare.
mmmmm... let me see ... let me see ... mmmm
Which earnings? :-( :-(
