Adsense?
It seems Google's Adsense name wasn't the first to actually use the name / term adsense. It seems to have originally belong to a consultant firm (which has since sold it to another company).

As Of The End Of August 2008 - No More Referral Ads!
Just found this out today but Adsense is "retiring" their referral ads.
This means that if you have the adsense referral ads on your site that you should delete the code)s) for them because as of the end of August 2008, the referral ads will not display on your site(s).
Here is a link to the adsense blog that explains it more in detail:

OK, I'm Just A Little Bit Pissed At Adsense!
So I'm looking at my Blog Consultant Blog today and it suddenly dawned on me that I didn't see any ads on the blog - WTF!
I go look inside my adsense account and notice that there are two of my sites that have that "robots.txt" message on them! Now this has happened to me before - some time ago and I don't remember what I did or in fact if I did anything at all but I do remember that things went back to normal and my adsense ads were in place again. I also checked my email but I didn't see any email from adsense. I also checked my "spam" folder to see just in case any email from adsense was there - it was not.
So I go to do some searching online to find out what could possibly be the matter! Well there was a lot of information to go through! Come to find out that it seems that adsense has a new policy about not having the adsense ads look like the contents of one's site(s) and/or blog(s). So now I'm in a panic because I have quite a few sites and I'm wondering whether or not I will have to go through them all and change the look of them so that the adsense ads don't look the same as the contents.
I sent an email to adsense about a half an hour ago asking why there were no ads on my sites. But since this is a Sunday I don't expect to hear from them for a few days. But I got an almost immediate response from them saying that they got my email but because of the holiday? it might take longer for them to get back to me. What holiday?
In the meantime I checked one of my client's sites and their blog didn't have ads on them either! Again I repeat - WTF? So I go into a panic and change the layout and look of their sites.
In the meantime I'm looking at their blog and guess what happens? The adsense ads show up! WTF! So now I'm in a new panic because I already changed the look of their site! Now I'm going to have to go back and see how their site looks.
In the meantime I'm wondering whether or not I still have to change the look of the sites. Now that the ads are showing up again - does that mean that everything is alright?
As a side note I should also mention that I noticed on my adsense account that I stopped earning revenue for about a day and a half! And that is one of the reasons why I am just a little bit pissed at adsense right now!

The New York Times Is Going For The BIG Money!
There is a discussion going on about the latest news about the New York Times and adsense.
It seems that the online version of the NYT didn't quite meet its goal of online subscribers. (They only made $10 Million!) While the number of online subscribers that they do have is nothing to laugh about, it seems that online advertising is bringing in far more dollars. (If you're paying attention that means that "far more dollars" means that they are maiking more than $10 Million Dollars per year!)
The online version of the New York Times has both adsense ads and direct advertising.

90% Of Adsense Publishers Earning Little To No Money?
Here is an interesting article about how a lot of adsense publishers are earning little to no adsense money.
I find that surprising and quite an ironic twist to my blog post about just how much money are people making with adsense blog post.
Currently I am about $2 away from earning at least the minimum $100 that is required to get an adsense payment in the next month.
So far July 2007 has been my best adsense earning month and August 2007 is my 2nd best and my adsense earnings are increasing every month! For the past 4 months I have always taken a little bit out of my adsense earning to buy myself a celabratory pizza for a job well done! But my adsense earnings have also allowed me to pay some of my bills and you can not beat that!
Don't get me wrong though. I don't just build websites and let them stay still. I have to constantly work on my sites - updating them and adding new content, etc.....
It's a shame that more people aren't earning more from their adsense ads and fortunately I can say that I am not one of them!

- As of Sunday, September 16, 2007 I have earned the minimum $100 needed to get an adsense payment next month!
- As of Saturday, September 15th 2007 - I am 40 cents away from earning the minimum $100 needed to get an adsense payment for next month - think I'll make it?
