Status of Google AdWords on my webpages
I'm running Google AdWords for ~2 months on two of my webpages,
and given the feedback I got from you guys, maybe it's time for
a little report on how things worked out so far:
Bad news first: I haven't seen any money from Google so far.
This is due to their policy that they start paying only after
you hit $100US one month, which I didn't do the first month
(and that mostly because I enabled this in mid-september).
I expect this to change in the future, though.
So what happened so far? The two websites I have
Google AdWords on are
the g4u homepage and
my NetBSD blog.
In the past ~2 months, the g4u homepage got about 42.000 hits and
the blog got 9.100 hits. On the g4u page, 539 people were interested in
the ads displayed, while ads on the blogs were of interest to
180 people. I admit I have no idea how Google determines
payment per hit/click, but the money they show I've "earned"
is $129 for the g4u homepage and $71 for the blog.
So far that's nothing that will pay my bills, but at least it
will pay some food every now and then, or
some
stuff
I
could
use
for future NetBSD booths...
(BTW, if you want to help out in that regard directly:
I'm VERY MUCH appreciating more help
from the NetBSD community at conferences etc.
where NetBSD booths are, after manning the Systems booth alone
for three days last week; for the monetary help you can
speed that up
with paypal ;-)
