By now many readers must be familiar with the Adsense by Google Program. I’ve been with the program for over 2 years.
I enjoyed the ease with which it is possible to set up adsense and actually use it. I particularly benefitted because it allowed me to pay for my hosting costs with a little left over. My websites aren’t particularly highly trafficked, but the traffic I do get tends to be highly focused, so I achieve decent click through rates on advertisements. But it took me a long time to build up the traffic, so it was nearly 13 months before I qualified for a minimum payment! The second payment came in less than a year. Currently things are getting better still, as I learn how to tweak the placement, generate traffic, and build content.
I’ve just started using using Payperpost.com to make money. I do have two blogs that I can use right now, but my newest blog focusing on finance and money hasn’t qualified yet, as the qualification period is quite long, about 90 days. BUT as long as you already have a blog that is kept fresh, I think Payperpost is going to be a good way to generate additional revenue. I found that posts are approved quickly, and once they are approved, you don’t need to worry so much. I find it a great way to blog, generate traffic and content, and get paid a little bit.
Most likely, I think a good blogger need not rely on just one of these methods only. A sensible combination of both, would actually bolster each method.
