Google News from March 28

This is from a USAToday article about Adsense that I saw quoted on Google’s Blog.

Such clicks can translate into pennies — or dollars — a day for a Web publisher. “I had no intentions of using it for more than a week,” Gandhi says. “I didn’t believe the stories that Adsense paid decent money. I ignored them as a marketing gimmick.”

But Gandhi’s Adsense profits have exceeded his wildest dreams. He now earns about $1,000 a month from the program, the same salary he previously earned as a software engineer. His new income has allowed him to leave his job and return to school. “Today I am able to sponsor my higher studies because of Adsense,” he says.

Thoughts==> My personal philosophy of making money from AdSense sites is to find something you can’t shut up about, blog about it on the right platform, get some traffic to sustain it, and do your research to make sure both demand and payouts of the area you write about makes it worthwhile. Otherwise you might as well switch to Blogads or other similiar systems.
