That's it. I'm done with giving Google prime real estate for pennies.

I kinda figured that my niche' doesn't pay enough. I have to write what I know and enjoy.
I make money from other things, just kind of upset that this particular avenue is not going to work for me, after jumping through all of the hoops.

Kind of a "no brainer" that the same advertisers that I get, are also some of my better converting affiliate programs....better to just advertise my own stuff.
