Beware The Panda!
Posted by John Elder
Hello Good People! Well, as I mentioned a few days ago, on around the 26th or 27th of September all of my websites took a nose dive on Google. Rankings evaporated, traffic dried up, and Adsense earnings plummeted. I went from earning around $140 a day on the 25th, to… $125 on the 26th $93 […]

Posted by John Elder
Hello good people! It’s been a while since I made a blog post, and I apologize for that! The fact is, I got a little lazy with my adsense empire this month (and my profits plunged – more on that in a minute!). But from now on I plan on posting every day, or as […]

August Adsense Earnings
Posted by John Elder
Hello everyone! Well, I managed to make it through August. As always, it was a killer month. I started online in 1997 and I can’t remember a single August since then that went well. I don’t know what it is, but it doesn’t matter what sort of Internet business I’m in (software, services, adsense, affiliate […]

Hey everyone, I thought I’d write a quick post about some of the more boring mechanical things regarding Adsense. Things like what my sites look like, how they’re composed, what kind of web hosting I use, etc etc. Basically, how to get started with Adsense.

My Adsense Story…
Posted by John Elder
Hi! My name is John and I’m a marketing fool – there’s really no other way to describe me. I’ve been making my living totally online since 1997 and loving every minute of it. I’ve never had a real job in my entire life (I’m 33 years old now and I started online at 18-19) […]
