Dare I write a post about this topic. Google Adsense profits, is there such a thing. Is it possible. There are over 500 posts of original content in this blog, is it a money maker? I won’t give a direct answer, but the answer is implied. It is obvious, and intuitive how to be a success; thousands of pages, thousands if not millions of pageviews, and a 1% clickthrough rate. How many people have achieved this? How many people have written thousands of blog entries? How many people receive millions of hits per day? This blog has excellent Google indexing primarily because I deal with Linux topics and there are relatively few Linux focused blogs that are SEO optimized. I get the speciality clicks where someone is searching Google for something in particular. This crowd that I am attracting is internet and computer savvy and they are most likley not going to click on a stupid Google ad. What can be done to change this? I ask because the answer is not clear, and I do not know. I would like to change this situation; while I do like maintaining my blog to provide free applicable and pertinent information to the Linux community, it does not bring in a substantial income.
I have an Electrical Engineering degree. The US technological economy is dead, especially in New York. There are basically no high paying jobs with benifits, and there are also few regular minimum wage jobs. It cannot just be my luck, there has to be other people in a comparable situation. Right about now I would like to make some money online. Without saying how much I was making a couple of months ago, I would like to return to those numbers; and god if you listen to people talking on the internet can I return to those number and maybe more

Google is at the top of the food chain. There is a huge list of competitors from all over the world, but none even come close to the widespread use of Goolgle Adwords,and Adsense. Yahoo has a marketing system of their own, and so does Microsoft, but the incentive to use these systems is not great. Google is synonymous with the web, and anyone who uses the internet knows who Google is. Therefore most people use Google for their internet searching. People who use Google see the paid search results on the right, and top of the screen and those who want to start a website will first think of Google for their marketing, and advertising needs.
While Microsoft and Yahoo! engage in their odd mating ritual, they are benefiting the very company that is driving them to seek partners. Internet advertisers can’t figure out what the two companies will look like in six months, so search leader Google is set to profit from the confusion. (reference)
The question is why choose a company that is barely competitive when you can choose a company (Google) that is guaranteed to be effective, and potentially profitable. For the foreseeable future Google will remain strong. It will take a long time for a major competitor to emerge. Google is creative, and bold with their web based software and their Adsense/Adwords programs continue to provide outstanding services to websites.

Of all the advertising networks I prefer AdBrite because you can integrate Google Adsense. AdBrite will display in the same fashion as Google Adsense ads, and will only display ads when they are valued greater. Therefore you are able to maximize monetization, while maintaining consistent appearance.
The most important thing about ads is their placement. You want them to look appropriately placed, center aligned preferably unless your graphical arrangements are asymmetric. Of superior importance is W3C compliance. At minimum your blog should be 100% W3C compliant. Then, and only then should you begin to work on the content, and additional features.
Also diversify. If your blog is about a particular topic, do not fear straying slightly. This can grow your audience, and increase your relative internet exposure.
Overall there are many factors that contribute to a successful blog. In general they are intuitive, and have a logical foundation. Vaguely you want your blog to be attractive, provide quality information, function smoothly, change pages consistently and have substantial UPTIME.

Mighty Adsense is from mightyhitter.com. The excellent coding of this plugin has caused for there to be little work necessary to establish complete W3C html transitional compliance. There were only several errors, mainly consisting ampersand excapes (& a m p ;). There was an interesting error associated with a less than operand “<”. The less than operand, according to W3C guidelines, is replaced with “& l t ;”. Note that the two latter examples, of replacement tags, had to have spaces added, between each character, to prevent replacement with the intended symbol.
The completely W3C compliant Mighty Adsense Wordpress Plugin can be downloaded here:
