I was talking to Hendrix in EfNet #php a couple of weeks ago about his site http:\/\/www.phpriot.com<\/a> and his use of the Ads by Google<\/a>.  I wondered if it actually made him any money.<\/p>\n

Now Hendrix’s site is pretty new and still ‘in development’ but it’s pretty decent already.  I’ll not say how much he was getting, but I thought it was worth a punt.<\/p>\n

I joined 2 weeks ago and have the ads displayed on pages in my Projects area<\/a> and, quite frankly, I’m astonished by the results.<\/p>\n

The way it works (as I figure) is that you put some javascript on the pages you want the adverts and since google has indexed those pages it know relevant adverts to send.  I get mixed results, but on the whole they aren’t bad (tho my system "utilities" attracts adverts for electricity utility companies!).<\/p>\n

Companies pay google on a per-click basis to get these ads onto websites such as mine and google gives me a cut.  That "cut" appears to be quite the movable feast from as low as $0.02 per click to unbelievable highs of $1.60 per click.  What spurred me into writing this article was that for the last two days I earned $17 and $20 respectively. Not bad at all.<\/p>\n

So, my question to the world, is do you use Google’s AdSense? And if so do you feel it is worth it?  Please vote in the poll.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
