I wanted to share my google adsense success story to let people know that even if you are getting zero earnings at the minute there is still hope that you will earn a decent income with adsense.

I joined the google adsense program in April 2008, full of hope at making tens of dollars a day. As you can imagine days, and weeks passed without me earning a single cent. I had a relatively good blog, but my ad placement was useless. A few months later when I learned about ad placement, and making your ads not look like ads I seen a few cents appearing in my adsense account. I then started up some niche blogs, and created back links using sites like ezine articles, hubpages and squidoo, and low and behold I started to see a few dollars in my account. I kept updating my blogs, using popular keywords with low competition, and still saw only a few dollars a month. Some of my blog posts were even appearing on the first page of google for a range of my keywords, but still my best month on adsense was a mere $10, which basically meant I would have to wait around 10 months before making payout. I decided that was far too much work.

Around the time I signed up to google adsense I also joined another site, called xomba. I wrote a few xomblurbs and xombytes on xomba at the start and then basically left as I seen no earnings. In the last few months before I gave up adsense for good I have been spending more and more time on xomba, and I am so glad I didn't quit. I decided to study the TOS on xomba, the make money guide and the popular tags, and off I went and created some xomblurbs. This is when I realised the power of adsense, some days I was making $3 or $4; this was more than I made in some months. Need less to say I was thrilled. I then had a $6 day and I kept posting and working hard towards my first google adsense check. My best ever day on Xomba was around $13. How great, for less than an hours work. Now I am waiting on my first check and I have made over $15 this month already.

For those of you struggling with google adsense, you have to see what works for you. Do not give up like I nearly did. Success with adsense does take hard work, and unlike the many bloggers online who are making tens of thousands monthly there is a chance you may struggle and only manage a hundred or so at best. A few hundred dollars to me is success, it may not be to you. But after all the google adsense program is free, all it requires is your time, so I will be pleased with a few hundred dollars monthly.
