I really recommend asking some of your questions in your own thread so that you can get more responses tailored to your needs. I have made 8 cents thus far today. Not much, but I'm not doing too well in the clicks so I guess 8 cents that aren't from the clicks are okay by me.
I'm not 100% sure...but for those of you who're making websites on blogspot.com or any other third party...and specially if they apply for adsense via these companies...they share the amount with them,.,so it means that the total amount u earn is shared among you/adsense and the your host... i use to make $5 with around 30 clicks...but when i bought my own domain I made $11 from just 9 clicks on my second day..! still not sure...but im sure
I haven't made anything, but the traffic's really low right now with me concentrating in other areas. Any traffic is natural, mostly from search engine results.
Woohoo, my first post... I haven't even made a dollar today, but my site has only been up a month, so I've got about $30 in total so far. But it's a start!
