lol, ezabel is weird with ads on it. i'm messing around with Google Ads, just to learn how the system works. (not planning on putting ads on ezabel tho, no worries)

go ahead, see if i care!!

actually i don't think ads would bother me, you could put them on the right hand side below the rss feed button. cause if i needed to buy something i might do it by clicking through ezabel, to help the cause.

hehe, okay, check it out

How do they pick the ads?
or do you pick them?

lol - all mine are for sweaters and tunics. - i assume because I am on "redsweater"

it's dynamic, based on the content of the page you're viewing. that's awesome that you're getting sweater ads! hahahah

OMG I MADE $0.74!

superhero superheroOG 2004 ·

actually i'm surprised you haven't done this sooner. i have no problem with it whatsoever

socalgal socalgalOG 2003 ·

how did you make money? im confused

iwz iwz ·

If people click on the ads, I get paid.

socalgal socalgalOG 2003 ·

for reals? so what if i we all clicked on them numerous times a day you'd get paid? like even if i clicked on em hundred times a day?

welllll, you have to be careful. google can detect fake clicks, and they don't like that.

basically, don't just sit there and click on ads all day, haha.

socalgal socalgalOG 2003 ·

aw man, that bites!

tesoro tesoroOG 2001 ·

so how much do you get per click. i've been clicking all morning. haha (all on different ads so they don't look fake)

iwz iwz ·

no no no, don't do that! only click an ad if you're genuinely interested in it.

tesoro tesoroOG 2001 ·

okayyyyyy, sorryyyyy! GOSH! haha

iwz iwz ·

and to answer your question, it seems like some ads are worth more than others. average right now is about $0.30 per click. just having the ads up for about 1 day so far has almost paid for the cost of hosting for the month!

now i'm kinda thinking the ads are a good thing. haha

really? interesting. I was going to put ads on my phtoography blog but then I didnt' think it would be worth it - but even $10-$20 a month is nice extra cash haha.. and i get about 10-20 hits a day. I should do it. i guess.

iwz iwz ·

photography blog - sounds like a good candidate for ads. ezabel gets about 1,200 pageviews a day.

google knows the difference between genuine and fake interest in links

iwz iwz ·

haha. yes, their brain monitors can of course report this information to them.

it's really excessive click fraud that they care about. i really don't know how strict they are with this stuff, but they can freeze your account if they think anything fishy is going on.

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 ·

i say do it. it wouldn't bother me one bit. get that chedda, cracka.
