I was looking at my Google Ad Sense reports from July to November today and I’ve suprisingly racked up a total of $464.53. Not too bad if you ask me. It paid for a couple things I wanted online to improve my web design portfolio. The first thing I paid for was an upgrade from Photoshop 7.0 to Photoshop CS. I’ve used the pirated version for awhile, but I think that buying the legit version was well worth the investment. I also bought a external hardrive to save all my work I do for the small web companies I admin.

There are several other things I want to purchase to enhance my knowledge base on web design and I think I’ll be able to pick that up early next year. Its great knowing that these simple ads are working.

I’ll admit that at first I was very skeptical about the entire thing, but when my first check from google came in, and it cleared at my local bank I was stoked. It was a little over $200.00. My 2nd check was around $120.00 and I expect it to remain in that ballpark from now on. I guess it pays to place a small ad on your sites…
