Earning Money With Your Blog.......

As well as being a blog consultant, I am also an Adsense Consultant as well!

There are no adsense secrets or secrets to earning money with Adsense. What you have to do to earn money with Adsense is to generate traffic to your blog because more traffic means more potential clicks on your Adsense ads.

Another thing that you can do is to put higher-paying keyword content into your blog. There are some keywords and subjects that advertisers are willing to pay more money for and if you use those types of keywords in your blog you have the potential to earn more money with your blog.

I'm currently experimenting with some of the high-paying keywords that I have on my own high-paying keywords list and I'm also trying to implement some of those high-paying keywords into my clients' blogs as well.

You do have the potential to be able to earn a LOT of money with your blog using Google's Adsense program and there have already been some people who have earned $1 Million Dollars using Adsense!

Is that the kind of money that you would like to be making with your blog?

It's not an impossible thing to do because there have been others who have managed to earn that amount of money using Google's Adsense program!

Are You Waiting For The August 2007 Payment?

August 27, 2007 - EST - As of 7pm the "payment in progress" line now appears on my account! (I checked it twice just to make sure that it wasn't a mirage!)

August 25, 2007 - As of 7pm EST it seems that the folks who have an adsense account in Montreal, Ontario and other parts of Canada have received the "payment in progress" line on their accounts. Of course this is causing a little grumbling from those in the United States (including me). Here is a list of those areas where the adsense publishers have received the "payment in progress" line:

• Canada - Montreal, Ontario and other parts of Canada
  
  
• India
  
• Manilla
  
• UK

The sad thing about it is that even if the PIP line showed up in our adsense accounts today then those that have the direct deposit option will still have to wait until Monday or Tuesday to be able to spend our adsense payment.

As of Thursday, August 23rd, 2007 there is still no "payment in process" line. That means that if the "payment in process" line appears on Friday before 4pm then there is a chance that the EFT will take place the same day. But if it happens after 4pm then your adsense payment won't be transferred until Monday which is REALLY a bummer! )-:

As of August 20, 2007 there is still no "payment in progress" line

At about this time every month those of us that are adsense publishers start to wonder about when we will be getting our adsense payment for the month. Sometimes what I try to do is compare the current month with the past months to see when the next adsense payment would likely come. This month of August 2007 doesn't compare with the previous months this year because none of the other previous months has the 19th on a Sunday.

Now there are a couple of months that come kind of close. February and March both had the 18th on a Sunday but alas payment wasn't received for those months until the 26th of the month which was a Monday.

For this month the 26th falls on a Sunday - dare I think it? We might not see that

"payment in progress"

until the 27th of the month?

And incidently I can see on my calendar that the 27th of August is "Summer Bank Holiday" for the UK. Does that mean that the adsense publishers in the UK won't be able to do any banking transactions - meaning any deposits wouldn't be counted until Tuesday the 28th?

I would love to know the specific process that adsense goes through when they are processing payments. For this month of August I saw that adsense said that the July Adsense earnings would be finalized by August 10th - which is a Friday. However since the 15th of the month is the final day to add or change any of an adsense publisher's account information then I know that no payments will be processed until after the 15th of the month.

I saw an example on one of adsense's pages where they were showing examples of how their payment process works but what I remember most about one example was that they used the 16th as the "payment in progress" date for an adsense payment.

So far I don't know of anyone that has gotten a payment in progress line on their adsense account on the 16th of the month!

So now the adsense payment in progress line watch for August 2007 has begun!

Checking Your Adsense Numbers

One of the first things that I do when I go online in the morning is check my adsense numbers. That's when you log into your adsense account and look at your earnings for the day so far. I checked my earnings for today and as I get closer and closer to that $100 minimum amount needed to get an adsense payment for the month I also notice that I am becoming more and more anxious at the thought of checking my adsense earnings!

Before it was a mad scramble just to get to the $100 minimum needed to get an adsense payment. Now I'm at the point where I have to exceed the earnings amount that I got from last month - even if its only by one dollar!

My adsense earnings for July 2007 are almost double what my adsense earnings for June 2007 were and while that is great news it does kind of put the pressure on to exceed your last month's earnings!

There is a very big debate going on now about how one should not solely depend on Adsense as their only means of income. In some ways I do agreee with that but I'm also thinking that if you can make a significant amount with adsense can't you save some of it while you live on a budget? Of course that may sound silly to those that just want to spend, spend, spend - but those that are making over $10,000 a month with adsense surely they aren't spending it all or are they?
