Well I can definitely tell you it’s not about the money. I don’t need it, my hosting is pretty cheapo-tastic provided by Dreamhost. I haven’t really been able to take advantage of their referral scheme to be honest, someone did use me as their referee and I thank that person greatly for that, but that’s hopefully going to change in the months to come as I start pushing out a couple of Broken Kode Originals (what I’m calling original website designs by yours truely). My day job pays the bills with a little to spare (no I’m not filthy rich, just don’t have any bill headaches at this time in my life).

As far as I can tell no one’s gotten rich completely from subscribing to Adsense. The more and more I read from people claiming that it really wasn’t worth their time etc. So what the hell is the point? In this particular case it’s an experiment. I really want to see how much I can make in a 6 month period. I’ll eventually provide everyone with the results of the experiment as if I was back in Physics class back in school.

Sure I’m making ‘the man’ richer, but I’m getting a small piece of the pie so it’s slightly amicable to my weird sensibilities. It’s funny but not long ago I wrote on the designateonline forum that I refused to put Adsense on the site, and keep it cleaner. I guess never say never, but unless it actually is worth my while I don’t think I’ll be keeping the ads on here.

So I guess we’ll talk further in 6 months time. Hopefully we’ll have some hit numbers on here as well.
