Steadily upward trend, no real problems - and none of 'those' emails.
The only internet company that is giving ordinary folks from around the world the opportunity to make true money.
It was a cold, cloudy morning and I'd just finished my first cup of coffee...
I put one ad on one site on one modestly travelled page in the hopes of picking up some spare change for hosting and domain renewals.
Little did I know.
I remember adsense launching in 2003, but all we had was an established hobby site, and it was always "adfree."
It took us 6 months to get up the nerve to try adsense, if only to pay for the hosting and server.
But the hobby has steadily grown, and so has our income. Thanks G
What is the idea behind this thread? i've probably missed something, but why does the length of time people have been with adsense have anything to do with people getting banned? excuse my ignorance if I have overlooked the connection.
kinda late, but at least now i am on the road.

It's a sort-of Herodian tradition. Every now and then Google ban people who have been taking part in Adsense for about a year, roughly. :-) (For those readers of a nervous disposition, I'm only kidding).
I think web_sense's intent by starting the thread was to reassure recent posters who were afraid of getting banned and losing their income.
We started just under a year ago (having had a website since the mid 90s). I accidentally clicked on an ad once, immediately emailed Adsense Support, and got a very nice reply back. My impression is they aren't trigger-happy about banning people who are making an honest living out of online publishing.
AdSense has been a very good to me so far.
Had a 5 year old well established site which I had never bothered to monetize. I decided to go ahead when I was about to retire from my long-time employer. I remember well the shock of the first day earnings. Did not believe it was possible to earn that much.
Added it to 1 of my sites. It made 19 dollars day one. So added it to another ten. Next day 70 dollars. Been between 70 and 190 per day ever since. Sometimes most of it comes from one site, sometimes from another. On average over 15 or so subjects, in differing niches it has evened itself out. If you only had one site though you would think it fluctuated wildly, both visitors, cpc, and overall revenue. Having a bunch of sites shows you that its all down to advertisers budgets etc.
Just wish my eCPM was as that high now.
For all of it's ups and downs the program has forever changed my life and everyones in it.
My best month ever was July 04. Did smart pricing come in right after that? It's taken me until now to even get close to what I made that month.
Thanks for all you guys for your inspiring posting.
