Blog monetized by Google Adsense?

I’m having a bad cold today so I’m just taking it easy , surfing some sites for my viewing pleasure er, reading pleasure. I decided to check the Google adsense Report of my daughter’s old domains.

I’m taken aback.

Rewind.

My daughter in her early teens bought her first journal domain. After a few years, she bought another one…then another one. Purely for fun. It’s like trendy clothes to them. A fad. As she said I want to be a domain whore. I don’t know how many sites she has now. I only know of the domains that I purchased.

While reading problogger.net a few months ago, I read how Darren earned $14,436.45 in one month just by blogging. Not that I dreamed to earn that much but perhaps I can recoup my $175 a year domain/hosting expenses from years 1998 and thereafter. Domain registration and hosting were very expensive in the years 1998 -2001. I was aware that my daughter had 2 semi-abandoned domains with a few subdomains having a Google Page Rank 6 for many years now. She also recently acquired a new blog domain . I smelled a window of opportunity. So I asked her if she wanted her sites monetized by Google Adsense.

She hesitated. The adsense blocks will deface my blog.

What if it might earn you a couple of dollars?, I prodded.

She squealed. Can I buy books with the money?

And we sealed a deal with a kiss.


Most bloggers get modest adsense earnings monthly. Lauren’s old sites are earning more than modest range. That is all I can say. But not annual six figures (in peso terms).

Why?

  • She has written thousands of original entries for many years. I mean literally thousands and not just short blog entries at that.
  • She updated almost everyday until she hit college.
  • Her existing domains & subdomains are over 6 years old.

    • Lesson learned: Just keep writing , love blogging and one day, readers will notice your content. Google will love you . I believe Google’s search engine’s technology is closely simulated on the human surfing needs. After all, humans want to read a blog with meaningful and original content.

    This is encouraging, Noemi. Am just blogging for the love of it now, but am also experimenting with Adsense, as you can see.

    Yes, it’s amazing.I saw your daughter’s old entries at Worldkids, still very much intact. She’s a born writer:)
