AdSense on NQB2

wtf? Add comments

So, astute readers have noticed that I've started to include Google AdSense ads at the bottom of each post. However, even with the recent metafilter hit, I've had no one click on the ads.

Do people click on Google ads? (Obviously, a few people will click on my ads due to this post... but the other option, not talking about it, was silly.) Maybe AdSense should learn fro the non-clicks and start showing silly stuff?! Anyway, I know some people do make a little money off of AdSense... they must either get tons of traffic or have really capture-able users.

Funny thing: I've now started clicking on Google ads just to see who buys them.

    I make an average of about $3.00 / month off of anywhere from 30 - 80 (on a very good day) visitors per day. But if I could track it (which I can't), I'd guess that almost all the clicks come from people who are looking for the Firefox searchbar plugin for Google Maps that I wrote last year. All my other posts are about tech. or anthro. or just crapola, and I think there is an extremely small community of people who regularly read those posts, and those people aren't likely to click on the ads.

    So what I'm saying is, maybe it isn't just the sheer # of vistors, but the type of visitors a site gets.

    I have done so once, twice, once because it was silly, and I just had to see it, and once because it was something I happened to be looking for in the search I did that led me to the page that had the google ad on it. I think, however, that that is more than I've ever clicked on banner ads, at least in the last few years.
