Well maybe not a millionaire…maybe more like a several thousandaire. Like $3,000 plus a month, just from little old Google Adsense. Whouda thought that those little ads for antique military combat boots would be worth so much? Who cares that they aren’t targeted? They work. Don’t believe me? Take a look at my console screenshot. Read it and weep. I’M RICH BEEYATCH!
Ok, I am lying. I think maybe I have made like $94 in the year that I have run AdSense. But it is pretty fun to lie about my earnings and post doctored screen shots, and to get everyone all fired up about the potential of running contextual ads on their sites and raking in the cash. “You too can be rich, if you only read my site, and buy my book, and listen to my tales of pulling in huge checks all for doing nothing!”
Every day there seems to be another toolbox that pops up out of nowhere and spins wild tales of AdSense riches. Citing Google’s TOS, the conveniently claim that there is no way to really prove it, since they can’t publish the metrics…so, you’ll just have to take their word for it. And then they throw in the obligatory console screenshot to back it all up and induce some forced “oooh’s” and “aaah’s” from the peanut gallery. Gag me.
It took me 45 seconds to whip up that fake screen. I am calling bullshit on guys like this. I don’t buy it. Call me jealous, call me skeptic, call me whatever…but I am not going for it. When a company that has 75 some-odd targeted blogs, and a working staff, is happy to pull down $1,000 per day on Adsense, I am not ready to hop on the $15,000/month from three sites bandwagon just yet.
Hey, maybe it is legit. I am not calling him an outright liar, or a shill for Google, or an idiot…but I am all set with guys like this and stories like these. I throw Adsense on my site so that every year I can be surprised with a random $100 check…not to get rich. And that works for me.
