It was quite a shock to wake up and check Google to see I had graduated to my very first 3-digit day.
Almost spit my coffee at the monitor. :-)
Here's hoping for more of the same!
Now start sweating over $200/day - I'm trying to break THAT hurdle and Google's being highly uncooperative. I'll be sitting here close to midnight counting it down.... $187, $189, $191..... then screaming and yelling, waking everyone one up when it hits $0 and starts counting for tomorrow.
Congrats again and I suppose drinks are on you eh?
If people try and keep ahead of the game and work smart rather than hard they can avoid this scenario.
Google will do the dirty on you one day and you'll be left wondering just what the hell you did wrong
This is true, but even in this case, G will still be the best way to convert traffic into money for content sites and that's why we keep at it even though we are continuingly complaining. The power is justification enough to operate in any way they like.

And since when did you become the arbiter of what is right or wrong, correct or incorrect, what is smart and what is not?
Fortunately you wrote "try" and did not leave yourself for an onslaught by me.
As clever as you, and many others may think they may possibly be, there are many inconsistencies in this program which can leave you out to hang dry.
It has been written in these forums many times...do not RELY on Adsense for an income.
It will bite you eventually.
It is the same as betting, there are very, very few winners and lots of "what if's" but at the end of the day only one overall profit maker...!
Don't worry about the doom and gloom posts, we always have a few of those here. The advice not to rely 100% on AdSense is good however.
Your long term is probably good as long as you start to diversify. Now is not a bad time to start working on another site in another niche/market.
You might also at this point want to start looking at alternatives to AdSense - quite a lot of advertisers will start contacting you about now. There is more money to be made elsewhere if you want to put a little effort in.
