This is a journal of my vegetable gardens. Skippy was my first dog and he thought the garden was his, even though I did all the work. Now Suzie and Charley follow in his footsteps. We're located near Boston (USDA zone 6A). I have a community plot, a backyard vegetable garden, fruit trees, berry bushes, chickens, and bees. I use sustainable organic methods and do my best to grow all of my family's vegetables myself.

google ads
Yippee! I made xxx! I added Google ads to my sidebar and in 4 hours I earned $xxx US. That'll add up to big bucks in a year: $xxx! Wow....
I agreed never to click on the ads, so I don't even know where they go. I hope they are clean. I think I'll go click on someone else's (Mark's or Crista's or ...) and see where they go...
Actually considering the traffic you seem to get, with a little optimization you could at the very least make a few bucks a day without issue.
Take a little work.. Key is to blend the ads with the content and to not have them stick out.
And Google won't kill you if you click on an ad or two of your own unit. I do it from time to time to verify advertising and to get info on ads in case I need to block them.
Ahhh. To add-google-ads or not to add-google-ads, that is the question .....
After 24 hours, 707 page impressions, and I think probably 5 hours of my time on palettes and optimizing, my ads have earned $1.04! (That translates to $379.60 per year.)
This is well below what would make it worthwhile monetarily to me. And it seems some of my viewers will see little blank squares and may not visit my site!!!
Most people don't even notice the ads on my site since I placed the page element low on the side. I am always amused by what appears. Usually it's gardening, but this week, after a post about a stuffed dog I created from a sock, there was an ad about small dog clothing.

Nice! Time to turn in your resignation letter at work ...
I just clicked on one of your ads, so you're probably rolling in dough right about now.
Yes. The resignation letter. Thanks for suggesting this!

You won't be getting any pennies out of me, I use the Adblock plugin on my browser.

I just wanted to try it out.

Today I have an ad for nursing in California. Maybe because I posted about my (garden) beds?
