Chaucery Blog

At the start of this year Neil Turner was earning US $150 per month from the Google advertisements on his site. That was part of the inspiration for me to try out Google Adsense on some parts of my sites.

I made my first web page in 1994, when Netscape 1 was released, but I've never earnt anything from my web properties. As I recently moved to paid web hosting for the first time, I thought it'd be nice if I could get ads to cover that monthly cost. To my surprise, the money I garnered in one day will cover the cost of hosting for two months. I guess now I'll have to set my goals higher.

I'll reevaluate the situation in a month or so, to consider whether the money I make is compensating for the loss of the pristine wholesomeness of my site. I wonder if in the meantime I'll start to emulate the amazing money-making machine Darren the ProBlogger.
