I started using Adsense last year on my blog to try to cover the costs of my webhosting. I’m glad I did. I’ve made a little over a grand this year just implementing it on 7milesdown. Not too bad if you ask me. I’ve been able to purchase a legitimate copy of photoshop for my graphics, buy a couple DVD’s, and still had enough left over to pay for my hosting and domain name. Anyone who owns a blog should have this service implemented. It works, its free, its legit, and google does pay on time. I have not tried Yahoo’s version of their ad services yet, but I heard it works just as well.
Google has also upgraded their search program via adsense as well. Googles embedded search on your blog used to take visitors away from your site to get search results. Now the results appear within your site to keep visitors within your page. I think this is a great update and Im planning on implementing it here on 7milesdown in the near future.
