I looked at your site, dxrules.com, and there are some things that you could do to help with getting more clicks. PM me for some ideas. Awesome job almost reaching $100! later.
I'll be getting my first $100 this month. It took me 10 months to get here but I slacked. I set up 2 websites last Oct. kept up with them for about a month then forgot about them. Didn't look at my Adsense earnings again until a few weeks ago and noticed that I was at $100! The websites have slowly been gaining traffic (and clicks) without me doing a thing. The snowball effect is true. It took me 10 months to make my first $100 but, if things keep up the way they are, I'll have my second $100 in 2-3 months.
I hear you. I am constantly caught between chasing a few $$ and building my sites. i always want to make them more valuable for me and get to that site that makes a pocket full of cash. But recently after achieving one of my golas I have had a switch in attitude. It has been to make my sites cleaner looking and less image rich. I have steered away from building around adsense and moved more towards just slotting adsense in. Very addictive!
i'm on my way to that $100 too. I'm on $60 mark now... earning an average of $1/day. I'm just blogging freely on blogspot. =)
congrats, i know you'll easily reach $11, next thing you know you'll hit $100 a month or even $100 a day
When I first reached the magic 100$ mark my first site stayed online for 4 month. Today - 2 years later - the same site makes 200+ every month. Not that much but I'm happy because it is 100% MY own work. 100$ can be a lot more worth if you have worked that hard for it.
Keep us informed of your total each day until you hit the $100! We want to share the magic moment with you. Then comes the terrible wait for the check to arrive. I assume you've got the PIN already?
i hit the $102 mark today!!!!!!!!!!!! Crawled to it over the past few days but hit it today... signed up over a year ago so was before the pin was required. assume i'll see a check in september for it... never worked so hard to earn $100 in my life... I'd cut the WWE in for it as i'm promoting some of their talent via our site and forum... but i'll reinvest this into the site... thanks all
hehe, i'm almost there too..just $15...took me 3,5 months to get there...hopefully next $100 will be within 3 months..
Sound great!!! I still in second half to reach my first $100 But I like about "snowball" effect... Keep work and gud lak
As far as I know I haven't but then equally neither did a friend of mine who had his account zapped as he was in the nervous nineties so I guess it's just fingers crossed. I guess if you've been watching your stats and suddenly see an abnormally high CTR then it's probably worth flagging with Google as soon as you see it. At least then they'll know you're not doing it yourself
