Greetings and Welcome

Greetings. I'm an AdSense publisher with a couple of sites which achieve pretty good daily earnings from AdSense. I'm starting this blog to share some of my experiences, tips, tricks and musings related to Google AdSense.

If you haven't heard of AdSense, it's Google's contextual advertising service that delivers earnings when visitors click (or sometimes merely view) ads on your pages.

Let me stress the title of this blog - AdSense and Sensibility. You won't find any "Secret Magic Adsense Formula" or "Become a Millionaire in 7 Days with AdSense" pages here. People who make preposterous claims like this are usually trying to sell you something.

You can earn a great deal of money through AdSense - but like anything else, it takes work on your part. The chances of becoming rich through AdSense without really trying are probably roughly equivalent to the chances of winning the lottery. So I'm going to focus on some sensible advice that may help guide you, as a new AdSense publisher, to get started in this work.

I know I found it frustrating in the beginning, when my earnings were just a few cents a day. But if you stick with it, give it some time and put in some effort, the results can be enormously rewarding.

This is also not going to be one of those spam blogs with articles republished from other sources - the posts will be my original work. Though if you're experienced with AdSense, you'll have to forgive me if I cover some topics you already know well. I'm hoping this will be a useful resource for people of all skill levels.

One of the most important things to understand about AdSense is that it's a market. You are selling some of your site's space and traffic to advertisers. Sometimes your earnings will be up, sometimes they will be down, and you may not have any control over some of the forces at work. But you can do a lot to control the value of the ad space you sell, and you do that by keeping your site content-rich, fresh, easy to use and attractive to your visitors.

So, welcome to the first post, and please do check back soon for more!
