I was unfaithful to Adsense. I admit it. My faith wavered in the face of suspected click fraud and I removed my Adsense ID. I was seduced by other advertisers, too numerous to mention, but I have learned my lesson. I have gradually replaced all the false tempters on my blogs and sites with my Adsense ads. I have turned away from temptation and I have had my reward …
… or at least I will, in about two months. That’s how long it takes to get your money after you have racked up the magic $100 figure. I could have had it earlier, if only I’d believed.
I still don’t think it’s the be all and end all. Frankly, I make more money from paid posting. But I’ve noticed something. It’s about a year since I started blogging. Now that I have hundreds of posts and have done lots of promotion, I’m starting to get some clicks. So I’ve concluded that it’s all about being patient, something I’ve not been that good at in the past.
