Adsense Update

On this day 16 August 2011 I began my adsense account. Each month I will advise the faithful how much wealth I accumulate. We don't make loans here at Mitoosense. My total wealth this morning is zilch. For those of you who are not CPA's this zero. $0.00 nice round figure and easy to remember.
Trying to figure out how much Google pays to it's bloggers is equal to the amounts in the legendary Pot O' Gold of Leprechaun legend. The Amounts they charge for adverting on sites like mine is also steep in mystery. It is known the amounts Google charges is vastly more than what they pay out to bloggers. The reason for all the mystery is Google makes the rules cuze they invented it. Everybody knows when one guy makes all the rules those who play by them are not equal players.

There is quite a lot written on the subject with few answers. The topic is similar to Creation: Big Bang or Divine Flatulence.

What I do know is the amounts paid is tied to several variables starting with pageviews. I think pageviews differ from hits (but not sure). A pageview is when a reader opens your blog from the WWW and view all entries on that page. A hit is when a particular blog entry is requested and only displays that single entry. The catch is the Google counter captures this data and uses it to determine traffic. More traffic equals more they can charge for advertising. This makes sense. Only Google knows exactly how much your traffic pageviews or hits are. The Google Honor System. You must pledge not to click bomb your site. I'm sure you get caught cuze, you didn't make the rules remember.

Anyhow more visitors equals more pageviews, equal more traffic, equals more exposure to advertisements equal, more money right. Wrong, as I found this morning Google only pays for Clicks. A Click is only registered when a reader on your site sees the advertisement, clicks and opens that site away from yours, hopefully they come back to your blog.

Clicks is where the money is. Clicks pay from a nickle to a dollar. Google pays you based upon click counters. The blogger has no choice in selection of advertisers or input for charges. It's like the government. Doesn't sound like a lot of money huh.

I think I made more money passing papers for the Indianapolis Times. I remember I bought the papers and resold them to my customers for a profit. It didn't matter if my customer read the paper I got paid. Also I wasn't required to write the paper. This is all a new wrinkle created by Google. Plus I counted the papers and collected the money and paid the Times. It's an upside down newspaper business for sure !!!

Amazon has a similar deal where they pay bloggers 15% for all merchandise sold from your blog. Same thing here they do all the mathematics and truth is probably buried in fees and mystery.

You can sell your own space on your blog and this is what I'm hoping to accomplish. Then I become Google and control who I allow ad space and how much I charge for the space. These amounts dwarf anything Google pays. That's the reason they got soooo much money and cuze they made the rules... I encourage all bloggers to post the amounts Google pays them each month so we may compare traffic and numbers.
I hope Google doesn't shut down my blog. If so you can find me at Word Press
