Adsense is Buying Me a Holiday
Posted on April 11th, 2008 by malcolm
I love Google Adsense. Adsense has always make me excited when the clicks and income just keep increasing. Part of the reason, I love statistics and $$. Despite the recent Google smack of my Page Rank, I will be receiving my Adsense income again next month! Woohooo!
Most of this income will be used for my upcoming Mount Kinabalu and white-water rafting in Sabah. Care to donate to my Sabah trip fund raising programme? :D

hi, I am newbie here, just pass by your blog and found that I like to read it.
can you teach me how to earn money with that?
only adsense can really buy a holiday?
Thanks :)

Malcolm: Hi there. Thank you for reading my blog. I am not a big earner of Adsense but this current blog you are reading gives me consistent income without much effort - of course after some time publishing good content.
When I started with Adsense, all I wanted was to earn money. I didn’t have any passion on topics to write and wrote aimlessly on my personal blog. That didn’t really earn me much.
Soon I discovered passion on writing on a certain topic of interest is the main criteria to success. You will need
a) a blog or website
b) with useful content which is often searched by people through search engines
c) which will drive traffic to your blog
d) and ultimately increase the click-through rate of your Google Ads
I recommend to place the ads where the human focus on and change the colours and size to ensure they don’t stick out like advertisement. Link ads works better than image ads. You can read the guide by Google here.
I have not written much on Google Adsense. However, there are many guides out there. For a start, you can refer to the following sites
https://www.google.com/adsense/ (look at the table at the bottom of the page)
http://adsense.blogspot.com/
http://adsense.blogspot.com/search/label/Newbie
https://www.google.com/adsense/support/
Best thing about Adsense is, you don’t need to pay a single cent to join. You only need to invest time and perhaps money on building content of your site/blog. Should you need more guidance on starting a blog to generate some income using Adsense, you can email me at contact[at]malcolmwong.com
However, I do not spoon feed. You will need to learn a few easy skills on your own. :) I can only share the tips. By the way, do you blog?
