    I would like to know from all of you about your story.. how do you come to know to about adsense at first... and how did it change the view for life..
    first i would like to share my story...
    I am a software professional from india.. i was not getting paid well.. only 600$
    a month.. so i was kind of frustate with the life... so one day i just search in
    google "make money online", i was expecting that it will give some crap result
    but inspite of that i just typed it.. and the first site that appeared was
    google adsense site.. i knew that google cannt be a fraud... so i went through
    their site... and came to know about this great idea... earlier i never thought that the link which are given on right hand side are sponsored link( even though it is clearly metioned) , to be true i never heed on that.. after reading their scheme i remembered that i have seen a lot of site with these type of ads.. and in some day i started feeling that it can change the view towards life..becoz in india even if i am earning 2k $ per month ..that is a very nice income... so i have just started thinking abt this ... currently i have made only one site with one page that too on free webhosting..but earning 4$ per day... that is all becoz of the ideas given by DP members.. thanks a lot..
    now would like to listen about your story also

    I am currently running a cell phone shop.Few months back when i was working in an ISP i heard a plan of looting adsense from a internet card customer who was talking with his friend.So i come to know there is anything called "Adsense" and it can be looted :D .
    So i searched and got to know it is a science in itself to earn money from adsense it cannot be looted :D
    But it was the start of taking interest in building websites.
    I am still at very early stage :)
    Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
    How are you driving traffic to your site ????? :rolleyes:

    Just a quick note, Sam1 - Because of the way your website is hosted within a frame at Geocities, both Google and Yahoo ads are showing on the same page, which is a violation of the AdSense TOS. You may want to change the way your website is displayed before it's banned.

    He hosts his site on free service of Yahoo, so it is the banners from Yahoo not bcoz he has an YPN.

    Anyway this is my story, quite simple!

    I have a site about graphic design, for quite a time. I paid everything myself to maintain the site without knowing that there is away to earn back from my hard work. One day I sat back and started to think "hey dude! you need some sources of income to maintain the website rather than use your own money". So I though of place some ads on my site, I wrote on my site "This place is available for advertising" but after months and months, none of mine visitors want to place their banners on my site.

    One day I just surfing internet and saw some site they have some text ads with a handsome link under like "ads by goooolge" I asked myself how come they have it? I curiously click on the link "ads by Gooooogle" and now I end up in this forum and posting my story. :rolleyes: :D

    You guys have all those Osho sanyassins from Europe and America in Pune, right?

    When I lived in India I planed on going there, just for the horizontal recruitment at the Osho ashram. haha. Never made it though.

    Have you ever been in that place?

    Sorry to derail.

    I knew google adsense from someone who maintained my internet connection (he's a webmaster too). When I was an IT staff of a Furniture company in INdonesia. He showed his ads stat with great day basis revenue $15/day ! I thought it could be my side income beside my salary. So I registered and put my ads code in my 4 months established site. Shocked with just totally zero dollar in a few days, I customized my ads code and got my first $0.49 in a day (I remember that I made about $20 in first month), the second month I got about $60 .. and now in my first year as googleadsense publisher I have made about $5500.
    I decided to quit from IT staff in August 2004 and now I'm working from home with average income 5 times of my salary as IT staff.
    With just 700 unique visitors per day, I can get about $ 15-$ 30 earning from GA.
    Go go gooooogle adsense:)

    i had to move my site to a dedicated server and was struggling to pay the monthly fee from my salary, then one of my users sent me a link in phpbb talking about adding the adsense ads to the board, i thought they wouldn't accept and pay someone in Mexico and when i read they could thought i should try, it took me many months to make enough to pay the server, but it's being growing now :)

    This is also my case. I actually studied AdSense on other sites using it (in fact this is how I achieved some interesting optimizing techniques) and before entering the game I learnt a lot from DP and few tips from SeoChat.

    I bet there are plenty of people achiving a large volume of useful information from DP but they keep a low profile ;)

    Mine was a completely different story...

    i got to know google adsense when i received an email from some spammer

    " Click the google ads and get a free playstation!!
    Just visit www.xxxxxxx.com and click the ads. After you did, fill up the form and tell us what are the ads that you clicked. We will proceed with the free playstation! "

    I did click some of the ads as i didnt know what the hell was the google ads for. But i didnt fill up the form as it request for my credit card particulars. An obvious scam!
