[Arnold Burian]

Quick question-I don't run any ads on my site...but I'm consisting adsense. Dp you actually make money this way? I don't want to run those ugly ads just to make $5 a month.Thanks!

im doing pretty well with it. keep in mind, your network needs to be entirely public to get the most for your effort. it's funny you asked, too, i just posted this discussion about adsense revenue increase.

[Arnold Burian]

Saw that. Prompted me to post. Not trying to pry, but does it offset your Ning expenses?

i dont make a living with it, but, yest it does more than cover my ning expenses

[Arnold Burian]

Good to know. Thanks.

if i could just get, oh, say, 50,000 daily pageviews, i could make a decently nice living from it then!

i honestly think they do not count my own impressions, my understanding is they disregard your ip in the statistics

Nice idea!

Hi JP,

In my experience, impressions alone are not a concern. Google knows that site owners will visit and be active on their own sites. The only real issue would be with clicks coming from your account or IP address.

Thanks,

yeah, you dont even want to click ads by accident, or ones you may have interest in either! Whats funny, with chrome, AdSense targets ads to me all the time for Google AdWords, and other publishing tools/services that advertise on Google......you wont catch me clicking them though LOL

You will be ok with one or two accidental clicks.  Google calculates click base on where the clicks coming from and how the visitor who clicks on ads arrived on your site.

If you click on your ads, then go to your in-law and click, then your local library and click, you will get banned.

Any computer you use and log into your Google account that computer get registered into Google adsense, so any clicks from that computer on any ads on your site will be an invalid click and could also get you banned.

If it doest registered as an invalid click, you will probably get around 0.05 per 20 clicks.
