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)

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.

aw man, that bites!

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.

okayyyyyy, sorryyyyy! GOSH! haha

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.

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.
