I am curious to compare your sucess with the ads to my own. Perhaps Im doing something wrong . Are you having much luck?

Well, it's making a little bit of money so far. If it continues as it is, at least it'll be enough to cover the hosting bill.

You probably know it's against the rules (in a big way) to discuss specific numbers, so... can't tell you much more than that.

I am an advisor for another site though, that has about 1/4 the traffic as me, but they make 4x as much so far, off adsense. But their site is more of a classified-ads thing, so it makes sense. Sigh.

Thanks, but uhm please DO be careful... they really will figure out "suspicious" clicks and subtract them. Definitely I want people to look at the ads and hey, click ones they're interested in. But I don't want people clicking just to "help out the site", because in the long-run I think Google will figure that out, and it doesn't help anybody.

When are you going to tell us your PayPal account so we can donate directly? You really should be rewarded for the hard work that it takes to make prince.org the best Prince fan site!

Some advertisers keep a close eye on the clicks they are recieveing through their Pay Per Click campaigns. And when they notice alot of bogus traffic coming from a particular site exhausting their budget, it will eventually prompt them to fire off a nasty letter to that particular search engine.

I've had to do this more than a few times for the company I work for, and in several cases we recieved refunds.
