Gather around children, There once was a time when webmasters could just use google adwords at no expense! Yes you heard right. It was called being the google middleman. Basically you make your profit off of adsense and use that towards adwords to make more money from adsense. It was a cycle everyone loved to use. However thanks to greedy stock brokers and our corrupt way of life of credit we are being punished (~Recession~)! Now we have angered whatever it is. And it is striking back at us. Brothers who get 89 clicks only earn $3.03!! Don't believe me? Click here Also now people just ignore ads when they see them. This is catastrophic! Long time ago people were easily fooled by ads. But those "Free PS3 Ads" no one falls for anymore. Like look at this buddy, 3k views without a click. Yes maybe the ad placement sucked or whatever. But remember the good old days? With 3k it was at least $30 minimum for me. Thank goodness I have been around long enough to reach success online so that I do not have to rely on the middleman method anymore but. I feel so terribly bad for our new young webmasters with hopes at 20, 15, even the 9 year old kids in India or whatever country trying to make something out of adsense. Who do we blame? Do we blame bush? the Stock investors and fraudulent loaners? Well no, we should blame ourselves. For continuing to swipe that credit card, for not knowing what credit is. That is the cause of this recession. Yes there are other reasons, but face it credit was a huge cause. And for the little boy reading this in whatever country, please take this as an apology by an greedy american who never stopped swiping.... ~Charles
