Dawn of the Geeks

Back when I started AdSense in March of 2004 I really had no idea how well it would work. It took 5,4,3, and then 2 months to earn more than $100 in order to get a check from Google. For a long time $1 a day was good. Then $2 a day was good. Now, $3 a day is abysmal. It’s not about the money as the money is an indicator of the quality of the site. The more money the site makes per day the better the site is. At least this is my goal; to increase revenue by building up quality. I know that lots of sites throw up a lot of spam just to get hits and display ads to people.

Winter break is amost here and the key site to focus on improving is Indie-Mobile. I’m going to research fair use laws and see if I can’t post some MP3 ringtones of current hit music. If nothing else, I’m going to post a lot more information of creating MP3 ringtones from your own collection and how to get them on your phone through indie-mobile.

Due to spam I’ve dropped user submitted pages to the Wiki. It’s too easy to muck up real pages’ rankings on Google. So, I’ll be creating a simplified wiki for the masses on this site soon. That will allow anyone to post anything they want. I often find random information I’d like to put somewhere and a wiki is the place to do that. But not the wiki that’s currently in use.

My new goal is to make over $10 per day in AdSense revenue. By the end of the next year my goal is $5o per day. We’ll if I can meet or exceed those goals.
