[the_lighter]

Hi every one,

First, I want to apologise my english. I'm not from here...

I am a fan of this fourm for long time and engoy the high level of the people here.

AW, I have a thought regardind adsense that i would like to share with u guys:

Im in the adsense world for 2.5 year and i am actully doing very well. from Last year i even double my day job (good job with average salery).

my problem is that the more i am successful with my adsense, i am more concerned about it as i dont know how to deal with it.

i mean, we all hear a bout accounts being banned and epc being deacrising etc...

the point is that im affraid to admit the hige amount of money that i am making and i and am wondering if there will be a day that i could say to myself this is what i do and from now on i am starting to live by that.

let me just say that all my action with adsense is super legitimit. no black hat or somthing. just good content and hard work

I really want to hear from the ones here that making nice amount of money with adsense, how you are dealing with it and to hear your thought about it.

again, sorry for the louzy english...

I made my first money on the web with CJ. The payment threshold was 25.00 and I had 25.99 in my account. That was my first check from the web and I made a copy of it and hung it on my wall. I can see it right now.

In later years I went onto other things. I got a few more checks from CJ but there were better opportunities and I was learning about them fast. Actually, what I was doing was making mistakes and correcting them. It's a hard way to get things right but it works.

CJ was a mistake. I didn't make it twice. Their advertiser base wan't squat compared to other ad networks. I couldn't get a whole lot of good ads and I'm in a very popular niche.

I'm sure they have more now. This is 12 years ago.

They fired me.

Fire me and I'll just go somewhere else. I'm glad they did actually. It pushed me in other directions.

LinkShare I've been able to make a little regular money with due to iTunes.

I do okay with Linkshare.

I always end up taking CJ links out. I had an independent affiliate program on one site and they converted their in house program to CJ. Same traffic, same rankings, same clicks yet the actual sales I got credit for plummeted. I had the same program for years and when they converted to CJ I simply stopped making money from it.

I could halfway understand CJ dropping somebody if they weren't using their ads at all, but not for not making any sales during an arbitrary amount of time. They know they're getting impressions from me.

I couldn't count all the different affiliate programs I've joined for my various sites on both hands and both feet and if anybody else has a policy like this I'm unaware of it.

I couldn't.

Nobody else does that, at least that I know of. It's just a database. How am I hurting you if I'm not using your ads? Even for an extended period of time.

If you leave me in that database, there might be a point in time when I start using your ads again. You've just kicked me out though. Fat chance I'm going to reapply. You've just pissed me off and I'm going somewhere else.

CJ has strange policy. I never liked them anyway.
