It has been around three years since I owned a website where the main income source was Google Adsense, but I recently picked up a great site which was pulling in a respectable $50 per day from the service. Sometime last year Google allowed you to change the font and size of the text in the ads you display. Google aren’t stupid.

You may or may not have heard about a relatively new search engine named Blekko – and fortunately it doesn’t matter hugely in the context of this post. Put that at a CPM of say $10, and that’s another $100, before we look at how the offer has spread via social networks, social sharing sites, and other word-of-mouth routes.

We have reached a point in late 2010 where the work required to generate traffic for a normal blog via search engines is much greater than that required to generate an equal amount of traffic via social media. Google loves brands. Google can’t easily tell the difference a legitimate blog from a made for Adsense spam site.

Did you know that 20-25% of Google searches every single day are brand new? 1 in 4 search queries have never been typed in the history of the search engine – every single day. In the third month after launching a new website, I received almost 1,000,000 unique visitors from Google. Home What the F ? Cloud Living Say "Hi!"

My first major website made money through contextual advertising (Google Adsense) and selling ads on a CPM (cost per 1,000 impressions) basis. To do this, I use the Google external keyword tool. The tool gives you a good idea of how many people are searching for X ( X being anything) in Google.
