It’s great that I have a made a couple of friends already on the site. Good luck on the new one. I’ll send you a link here soon. Also, I’m looking forward to my next experiment. So stay tuned!

Thanks for the quick feedback! That’s good news. To answer your question, I’m actually currently working on writing content/building a new site for a niche interest. I’m building the site using WordPress, and I plan on trying my hand at some affiliate action, which is totally new to me. I don’t plan on going live until I have a substantial amount of content for the initial release…my MMO blog posting may be a little less frequent over the next couple months, but I’ll be punchin’ the clock behind the scenes.

Thanks again for all the info and inspiration, man. Look forward to seeing your continuing progress!

Hey thanks for sticking around. As far as disclosing adsense stuff, posting earnings is OK. Funny comment about the pulling the plug on the earnings. I wouldn’t really go any farther than that…I checked out the blog….are you branching out into any other niches…?

Hey Road Warrior,

Big fan of your blog – I’ve been following it for the past couple weeks (long-term loyalty) to stay motivated – I’m currently working on a not as attractive, less successful journal-style MMO blog myself.

Like your posts, part of my progress tracking bit has been posting my weekly Adsense revenue. My question for you is, have you seen anything in the Google Adsense TOS prohibiting publishing your Adsense results? I’ve heard Google frowns on it, but I’ve yet to find any evidence…I’d hate for Google to pull the plug on my steady $.10/day revenue stream. Just curious to see if you know anything on the subject.

Anyway, again, great blog, and I look forward to reading more!

I thought it would be easier to show you by putting part of my strategy to get offers out there in the sidebar. I’ve thought about reducing my ad spots with adsense. I know that my sidebars get clicked less than anything. I have been surprised by the effectiveness of ad link units as far as payment goes. I think if you used the who sees ads plug in and removed ads from the homepage your clickthough would go up. If you could also exclude yourself that would help alot but you can’t do that.

One thing I can never be accused of is fallowing good advice very often. An online friend who has a number of blogs that are decent AdSense performers told me he tripled .. yes that is multiplied by three .. his AdSense performance by alternating AdSense and two other ad service using the “Who Sees Ads” plug-in. It isn’t so much that the other ad services add that much to his bottom line, it seems more that seeing AdSesne less often makes the click opportunities more tempting? Strange, isn’t it? Eeven more strange that I haven’t tried it out for myself.

Regarding your ClickBank ads mentioned above, are you building the ad blocks by hand or are you using a publicly available tool to format and keep track of the CB links?
