Yeah, here's another one of those posts. I was just checking my stats for the heck of it and I got my first 2 clicks! I'm so excited - I haven't even really promoted the site yet and I have no decent SERPS on G (doing OK on Y & MSN). Now I'm really motivated to put some major work into my site. It's like I didn't quite believe I could make money from this until I got those first few pennies. Now I've had a taste of it and want more.
Please keep the AdSense forum about AdSense related discussions/questions. Not for your personal celebrations. If I did a successful search on Google I don't think people are interested in me posting it in the Google forum either.
Forget what others say. Congrats dude.. you are on your way to make it big on adsense hall of fame. Go on with your hard work. I was also most excited about earning my first few pennies on adsense.
It is really a good feeling, it's the start of tunnel, look for the light at the end... 1000K per month ?
And so do you find yourself checking your numbers like all the time now? Has it consumed you yet? There are times I don't check it as much but once in a while I still get excited.
That is exactly what it did to me lol It blew my mind to know that I could make a site and it would make money day and night. I knew it could because of other ppl talking about their income, but untill I actually got my first click I just didn't think I could do it. That was a while ago. Now its like a drug lol, had to go out and start building and building and building and building. It is fun but can be addicting. Hope you keep it up and do even better! -313i
Yep, well done. Please now go and read the Adsense TOS carefully so you keep your account. And don't click on your own ads. Ever.
I first started using AdSense in November of 2004. I got my first check last July. And since then I've had a check every month. So don't be surprised if it starts off slow -- VERY slow. Just keep working on building content and the cash will follow.
Yes, but moving around your ads and bringing in traffic are easy compared to creating fresh, original content that will entice search engines to send you traffic which will then click on your ads. Content is still King.
