Oh ya...just tell people "I sell advertising space on the internet" if they ask more questions, start explaining how DNS's propagate across the internet to a database through and IP address into a mainframe through hard wired connections and they will stop asking questions
I tried that. 'But I don't understand how it works' .. "Well, you see Google has this advertising network, where advertisers can place adverts on your web site through Google, and every time somebody clicks Google and I take a cut" - At which point, if you start mentioning you get paid a few cents per click you sound like a fucking loser with the most silliest and inconcievable way of /making a living/ the person has ever heard of and you begin to feel like a tit-head. I don't bother anymore. I just tell people 'Ah I build web sites and things'. They never ask for you to eleberate then, as it risks them looking foolish. Still, it doesn't explain how building web sites can earn someone so much, so they're left wondering, but they daren't probe further. Pete
Congratulations, let us know how things grow from here. I am sure they will with all the help you can find on this board.
It can still happen. It's far to easy to click on an ad - especially if you use a touch pad and not a mouse. The wife knows, but she's been moved to firefox with the Greasemonkey and prevent clicks plugin installed. Better safe than sorry, use all methods at your disposal to prevent accidental clicking on ads.
Boy! I envy your topic. I am getting over thousand clicks daily, just imagine how much I would be making (So you got to tell me the topic of your blogs, or I will kidnap you )
congrats for the 1 money-making-day :=) i´m taking too long to get some money, having troubles with SE positions.
