Freelance Online Work - January 2008

Making Money Through AdSense

Don't Get Discouraged!
It can be discouraging to keep blogging if you aren't actually making any money. If you have a blog on Orble.com then you should probably be set up with Google Adsense. Each blog generates Google Ads based on the keywords used in your blogs. For instance, my I Love Herbs blogs brings up adds related to herbs and herbal supplements.


When people read your blog they may click on one of the ads placed on the blog by Google Adsense. You will make a teeny bit of money for each ad that is clicked on. You have to reach at least $100 in Google Adsense dollars before you can actually request payment.

Cash Money Baby!
I was getting a bit discouraged as I thought I hadn't made any money yet with my three blogs. But I just checked my Google Adsense account and there is actually a teeny bit of money in my account.

Here is the breakdown of my earnings so far:

October - 75 cents
November - $2.62
December - $3.38

Wow - $6.75 so far and I was expecting my balance to be ZERO!!!

So I guess you have to be patient but eventually your blogs will attract a readership.

Blogging Along
I started the I Love Herbs blog on October 13, as a brand new blog it will take a bit longer to start building up an audience compared to my other two blogs. I took over the Pagan Path blog on October 18th and I took over the Freelance Online Work blog on December 27th. The Pagan Path and Freelance Online Work were both on the inactive blog list but they have been around for awhile and already had some blogs posted to them.


I don't see any way on my Google Adsense account to tell which of the blogs is actually making $$. I have the same Google Adsense ID attached to each of my blogs. But I'm new to Adsense so maybe I just need to investigate the site some more to see if there is a way to see which of my blogs are generating click throughs.

So, be patient, and your blogs will eventually start making $$.

Additional Information
See Jon's blog, Orble Blog Traffic Over Time, for details on how a typical blog will generate traffic. Looks like it can be at least 6 months before you get any decent amount of readers coming to a new blog.

At the rate I'm going, I won't reach the magic number for another two years!

But then, that's not the only reason people write here, is it? You're right - just gotta keep blogging along!

Hi Michaelie,

Blog-blog-blog-blog.

That's the online version of Blah-blah-blah-blah!!!

If I didn't blog my head would explode. There are too many ideas floating around in my tiny brain. Blogging is a way for me to clear all those words out of my skull and make room for new ideas!

Take care,
Lynn

Well done Lynn, if you go to your google adsense account you can set up each blog separately for reporting, I know what each of my blogs earns when and I've quite a few.

Don't interfere with the coding and you do it with google not Orble.

I think the funniest part is that google adsense doesnt pay unless you get up to $100 but but let me tell you I advertise other things using Adwords, and GUESS WHAT, they don't hesitate to take $2.75 off your Credit card or other tiny amounts monthly AND you have to pay a DEPOSIT to set up the account.......slight mismatch there me thinks ;but hey who am i to question the Google gods......even if they are operating a cash flow arbitrage just like all the big banks do.....

You can tell how much each domain blog is making by creating URL channels in your AdSense account, like Katyz says.

Thanks for sharing. I was starting to wonder if blogging can really earn $$$.

Thanks for sharing. Up to this time, I just need a few cents to reach $40. I have several blogs and sites and it took me 1 year and 2 months to reach that amount. Good news is, the $10 in it, I earned just this month. At least, my monthly earnings are increasing. We just have to be patient.

Did you hear the one about

Indy Media Reviews
The way to tell which blog is delivering to adsense can be found by editing the channels setting with adsense. What happens is that you enter in your url and it will split the tracking statistics up.

Hope it helps,
Caroline
