    Is that Adsense thing even worth it? I made 1000x more today with GOOG stock!

    I mean I bought some GOOG stock today at 9:40 for about 560
    Sold it at 570 for a profit of $100. Not bad for 2 hours of work.

    That is 100 times my adsense daily income :D :D

    In order to make a 100$ profit from a 10$ Gain, You need 100 Shares. 100 Shares at 560$=5600$ investment. For a 5600$ Investment, you made 100$. Also factor in the Comisssion. Most brokerages charge 10$ to buy a stock, 10$ To sell a stock. Not much of a gain if you ask me. But grats!

    You're missing the point dude.
    I was just comparing making money with adsense vs. GOOG stock.

    Now if you tell me you can make $90 a day with adsense as easily, you may have a point :D

    You guys need to go to elementary math class.

    Do that math again.

    it is $56000 not $5600

    If you can day trade with that much money you don't need to play with adSense, that is for sure!

    First, I would never day trade with GOOG, its too expensive per share, take that 56000 buy a stock at $10 sell it for $11 and what do you get?$5,600. Of course you can always loose that much but you only loose if you sell, so unless the business goes belly up you never really loose money in stock and if you're investing in dying companies you probally need to start researching your buys.

    stock trading means you need capital, adsense means you dont need to have capital, just time.

    you only make money on stocks when you sell them..
    as long as you still own them you haven't made any money and still have the risk of losing it :)

    you can make adsense and stock trading if you have enough time to spend.

    If your timing is right of course you can make money trading stock, but it isnt as good as you make out, its also easy to lose $100, possibly a lot more. There are better ways to make money ... but it usually requires time and effort.

    Right, I've never lost money with Adsense. Investing in stocks is something everyone should be doing with a portion of their savings (Americans can save money, who knew?), but it is not a good idea for replacing your job.

    There is no risk inherent in setting up websites with Adsense. You could make $90 a day tending bar or waiting tables without having to risk the money. btw, a couple of people brought up brokerage fees, etc but after you pay your taxes on the sale, you actually lost money. :confused:

    Compare the loss potential of buying GOOG vs Adsense ;)

    I always wish that I had the heart to jump in before GOOG releases its earning and grab huge profit (provided that I am right of course :( ).

    Stocks is a form of gambling which has obvious risks. you could be very unluck and lose your shirt :)
    Adsense is a lot safer and can possibly be a very passive income, with no chance of losing your shirt :)

    Invest $5,600 in a site for adsense, and compare them both now!
    Giving adsense an unfair disadvantage for $5,600!!! are you kidding me ???

    I invest about $10( not counting my own labor) for site that make me 5+ a day in 2 weeks if i has invested $5,600 trust me i can make the next youtube.
