We all had to start somewhere, and hear of adsense for the first time. Just thought it would be an interesting topic to see how others got off the ground, obstacles overcome etc. I'll start - I'm still starting adsense really. I've just got the one site that I made out of interest and found out about adsense after. Low CTR, that's improved a little since I came here and got the layout sorted out. So now I'm just keeping it rolling along until new developments come along or I get another brainwave. Not exactly an exciting story, but hopefully others will have them.
