    Very nice story.. these are SO MUCH BETTER then the darn ebooks, etc that try to say these things...

    I do have one question.. swiki sounds like an amazing site, I just signed up, thanks to you ;)

    But Iv got a question, how did it make your site better? As far as I can tell (I just signed up so go easy on me) but it makes the visitors leave the site?

    EDIT:

    Sorry okay I understand now, it's the search results pages that make you the dough ;)

    Next question would be.... Since I cannot install adlogger on the results, who's PUB ID is published? yours or swiki's.... (you might not know this... just asking anyways )

    Congratulations man, i have just one question:
    Did you use any paid promotion of your site- google adwords , backlinks, blog posts or any other means?
    but for this i think you have done a good job:
    and one more question: what was the value of you average click? like how many cents- or dollars?

    Great story, I personally have always found that although placement of ads does indeed help the real trick is to coax adsense into displaying higher paying ads that will be clicked regardless of the topic of your site.

    For example lets say you are writing an article on skiing in poland on your site. If you include the words meet, women and girl in your article many times, your adsense ads are more likely going to be dating sites which pay more per click than polish skiing sites. Men being men ALWAYS click meet xxx girls type ads. Even I still click them because I know there is going to be pictures of girls at the other end.

    I've used tricks like this in all my niches. It's not all girls and viagra, there are loads of high paying ads, go out and search for them.

    My average click is 0.05
    I've been smart priced pretty badly, so my next step in Adsense is to overcome my low paying clicks. I get about 9k clicks a month and only paid a few hundred dollars

    Lol, hopefully I can raise my avg ppc above 0.05

    Thanks for your relpy Miles :)

    I have contacted swicki support regarding my question.

    I don't like my PUB ID being anywhere I cannot track it and use adlogger...

    Looks like a great system besides that part!

    Then you would love my stupid ebook, which is a personal story, without the MFA part..

    Regarding the swicki; i have thought about trying one, but i thought I read here on DP that it violates the Adsense TOS; or that someone got banned for using Swicki.. any feedback on that?
