2. I have been running the google adsense adverts on a
number of my websites for around a year now. I have to
admit that I am nowhere near the stage when I would be
able to consider retiring on its income. I am quite envious
of these people that you read about who are saying that
they are earning two thousand dollars a week on the
program but am fairly sure that most people would be
happy to earn six hundred dollars a month. What adsense
has helped me to do, quite strangely enough, is to stop
smoking. I will explain how in this article.
3. In the first couple of months after I had had added the
google adsense code onto some of my websites, I would
go and check how much it had earned on a particular day
and would be happy if it was over ten dollars. The average
daily figure at this stage was around five or six dollars.
4. I wanted to find ways of attracting more visitors to these
websites which in turn I believed would help me to
increase my adsense earnings. I also thought about having
a number of new sites built for the same reasons.
5. One day I was very happy as I had made sixteen dollars,
this was the most I had ever made in one day. I live in the
UK and this would equate to be worth about nine pounds.
Later that evening my wife asked if I would be willing to go
to the shops to buy her some cigarettes. I was quite happy
to go as I also needed to buy some for myself. When I
arrived at the shop, I asked the shopkeeper for the forty
cigarettes and he in return stated how much it would cost.
This amount was more than the nine pounds I had made
that day on adsense.
6. Even though I was well aware of how much a packet of
cigarettes would cost, this still came as a bit of a shock to
me. There I am working very hard in an attempt to
increase my adsense earnings and then go about throwing
what money I have made down the drain by smoking
these fags.
7. This was enough to give me the inspiration to stop
smoking, I am not trying to say it is easy but knowing that
over a course of a year I am likely to save around a
thousand pounds was a big help to me.
8. My wife has also been very determined and has managed
to quit smoking. We now live in a much healthier
environment and can now afford to have a holiday abroad
each year.
