I don't know about the rest of you, but AdSense is almost as fun as a video game for me. I love to write articles, build links, etc and see how much I can increase my earnings. It's almost like a funner, more productive version of Galaga to me
Yea, it's not exactly like that for me but in my spare time I like to build up sites that might eventually be of real value and have organic traffic, I really haven't capitalized on them yet but they maybe eventually. Think of it like crossstich I figure if it doesn't take time to build then it's probably not worth anything eventually. Eric
I do think of it at as a game at times. It does get less fun when the game your playing you have no control over, or can't cheat. But that is the nature of the game, you can't win every round. The never ending changes to the rules keeps me intrigued and hopefully will for years to come.
Hehe yeah, I already made this comparison as well. For me it's kinda like playing Diablo2 or some other RPG: Build up your site, arm it with links and other SEO stuff and go slaughter monsters... or make money
I don't take it like a game. To me it's more like a job it's something you have to work at in many ways. And the only satisfaction will be the molah. So when you think about it it's more like a job than a game. Thank You
For me any I consider any website a business and not a game. I enjoy what I do and I never get tired of doing it but being a webmaster should be consider a business just like any other. Fotos Chistosas
depend on how much it earn from you. i start it as a game, then become business..then i 've got sick of it and trying to pull myself out now.. it is not secure, doesn't worth the time for it. You could get banned anytime no matter how careful you are. Get a few cert you will earn more than that. but if you are in some country which 100 buck is a lot, you should do it
I think you guys took what I said the wrong way. It's not that I don;t take my AdSense business seriously! I just enjoy publishing new articles and checking how much it affects my earnings, and placement on the search engines. @ahkip: I disagree! I think AdSense can be a steady and signifigant source of income if you do it right. Getting banned isn't even an issue if you use a program like AdLogger to protect yourself.
when i was earning $2 or $3 a day i seen it as a fun game, now i'm averaging about $85 a day and i see it as a business.
yea, but i don't want to die from heart attack at age of 24. My heart rate jump if my earning fell..if i 've got banned....
I've worked in the corp world, and adsense has replaced my earnings. It's fun, but it's not a game. "Do what you love, if you do, you will never have to work a day in your life" This is so true. Do you get that? It's so fun, it feel's like a game but you are working and making money. The web is my passion, and the fact we can make serious money off adsense and affilates and are able to support our families in incredible.
I think any type of online work is much more fun than having a nine to five job By the way, you said funner
This is quite a funny topic for me as I have thought about this a few times. I do relate what I do quite a bit to a game I used to play called Roller Coaster Tycoon (Or even the Sims City game where you build and manage the cities). The building, managing, promoting ect. in order to gain visitors to your “park†is a lot like building successful websites if you sit and think about it. And I do take what I do very seriously as the income that supports my family is very serious but it also can be looked at as a game and in turn a little more enjoyable. This is the best job why not enjoy it!!
