$113.99 in 2 months for my hobby site

    My Noddegamra Website basically started out as a fun place for me and my friends. I'd find some funny links/images/videos and write some articles, my friends would go on when bored at lunchtimes at college/work and we'd all have a laugh.

    Over time I gained new members through online gaming, friends, word of mouth, and organic search traffic.

    My site has no high-paying-keyword-focussed-thingymagingary, just plain old randomness with adverts bunged on.

    On the main site, I get about $0.03 - $0.07 a click. On my Ad Revenue sharing forum I get over $1-$1.5 a click. Now, in 2 months I have earned $113.99!

    So yeah, you can make an insurance or medical blog and bore yourself to death trying to write an article, OR you can have fun like me, and still make an earning! :D

    Maybe a lesson here?

    (+ $133.99 isn't a lot compared to some people's sites, but still good I think for something not aimed at earning?)

    Some people will enjoy them yes, I meant more those who do a site-for-adsense, rather than those with a genuine interest in the topic, seeing as they are high-paying keywords :)

    Be sure noddegamra that it's not mainly your friends clicking on the ads... would be a way to get banned.

    otherwise, congrats

    patatuar, I don't encourage anyone to click on adverts don't worry. For one it started off as a site friends, but it has evolved from that greatly over the years.
