Google AdSense Stats
Even though I have only been running Google AdSense on this blog for a week or so, I wanted to give everybody an update on how the advertising program is performing. Generally speaking, the results are pretty much just what I had expected based on my placement and traffic. Since I have used AdSense in the past I kind of had an idea of what the situation of this blog would bring.
As you probably know, AdSense is not a steady program. In other words, you could get 20 clicks one day and just a handful the next. To add to this, 20 clicks on day one could earn you $4 and the next only $2. It all depends on what ads are being served, and of course, what ads are being clicked on.
So what am I earning each day from AdSense you may ask? Again, this is only an approximation, but my earnings are usually in the $2 to $4 range. No, this is not a lot of money, but it does add up by the end of the month.
I am hoping to do two things to improve my AdSense earnings. 1. Increasing traffic should at the very least give me a chance to increase my income. 2. Tweaking my ads, such as color and placement, will also put me in a better position to succeed.
It is easy to get frustrated with AdSense because unless you have loads of traffic you are not going to make a full-time income. But with that being said, it is a nice program that will help you to earn more and more as your traffic increases.

For me, someday I get clicks and someday I don’t =(.

Adsense is always all over the map. I’d definitely suggest trying some different colors and ad sizes for your blog. I think the inline 300 box with either green or blue link text could be more effective than what you have now.
One of the better money makers for me recently has been Text Link Ads, particularly with post level ads. Have you tried that? (If you choose to sign up, it’d be great if you used my referral)

You must have a PR4+ in order to make some money off text-link-ads.com.
At one of my websites I get paid around $2/click at one of my websites.

I have a group of websites of all types other than my blog.
Adsense revenue fluctuates to the point where I’ve stopped trying to watch it too much. some days I make a couple bucks some days a couple cents. Try other ways of monetizing after your experiment with adsense

I see you’ve been about as successful with TLA as I have! My “Featured Sites” area is just as empty as yours!

dcr – Yep! I have been experimenting with it a bit, but as of yet nothing. Hopefully when the PR updates we can get some love!
