Google Adsense is for real!

October 27, 2008 10 comments Advertising

The entry’s title is addressed to the reluctant boys and girls who still think that making money in the internet is nothing but a “Congratulations, you’ve won a million dollars and click here to claim” cow pie way back.

This blog alone gave me two payouts from Google Adsense this year. I spent everything on the June payout that I cashed out through Western Union. The next one, which I decided for December, will be used to buy an iPod Nano so I could rock the Christmas away! The green one should be perfect but I’d go for the classy black, dude.

Generating $100 USD entitles anyone serving Adsense for a payout. For a small blog such as mine that’s a hard target to hit but hell I’m just happy getting another payout, man!

There are four ways to earn from the Adsense program:

1. AdSense for Search
2. AdSense for Content
3. Referrals (Ended but gave part of my revenue)
4. AdSense for Feeds (That I haven’t tried yet)

Edit: Thanks to Orville! I could have gotten the Google whipping for showing those stats.

My Adsense Payout thru WUMT

June 1, 2008 5 comments Advertising

I will be using Western Union Money Transfer (Quick Cash) for this month’s Google Adsense payout. This will be the first transaction that I will be doing with WU. I don’t know anything about the process but to just visit the nearest branch with at least two IDs. Screen shots of the Adsense Payment History tab were taken for referencing purposes.

Feedburner versus PageRank

May 1, 2008 3 comments Short On Ideas, Web

I had my monthly bandwidth eaten up 4 days before April ended. So, www.in-indie.org, was unavailable for that span of days. Today, the bandwidth is reset and I’ve upgraded the hosting plan and this is actually the first time that I used my work card to pay so, yeah, I’m happy though Unionbank is very sucky in there support as I have been requesting for my transaction password to be reset for more than two weeks and not even an auto response.

What surprised me today, though, is not that I received a message from Unionbank - because i haven’t - but that my blog now have a PageRank of 2 (two) and the feed count from Feedburner is zero (0). Is this a “versus” thing from this two Google things? Yes, I have been hoping to have PageRank but please don’t count out my little feed counts.

The new look of searching?

The way Google display their search results have always been how they were back then. All the weight (bulk of text) are positioned to the left and everything else is elsewhere. I’m not complaining just as long as I get the best results for my searches but it wouldn’t really hurt if there is a step up to that.

Then came the step up! Google Labs are cooking up some new ways to showcase their search result. I love the mouse-less concept! I can navigate through the results using only my keyboard. Mouse sucks! Haha
