OMFG AdsEnse is teH RoX0rZZzzz!!!11111

For those of us who don’t make our living from Adsense, we tend to look at Adsense as the ultimate MMORPG.

It’s got everything you could ever want in an online game - suspense, intrigue, strategy, creative thinking, research.

We tell ourselves that we hope to earn “just one dollar a day”, when we reach that target, it’s “enough to pay my monthly internet bill”, then “enough to pay for the weekly groceries”.

And on and on it goes.

We head straight for the PC when we get home from work - “just checking my Adsense account” we yell over our shoulder at our partner as they are left to lug the kids in the front door.

“Cool - I made $1.46 from six clicks” - your partner can’t understand what all the fuss is about. “Great - let me know when we’re millionaires” she says.

We spend an inordinate amount of time reading the Adsense blogs, checking out the latest WebmasterWorld forums, just to see if there’s another tip that we haven’t tried to increase our traffic or click-through rate.

We justify the fact that we spend so much time lovingly crafting our Adsense sites by telling ourselves that we just might hit the jackpot. We might stumble across the magic formula to Adsense riches. Our site might get Dugg, and a million visitors might swarm on our site, all of them will love it, bookmark it, come back often, and click our ads.

In reality, it’s a hobby, but a hobby that drops a cheque for $100 in our lap every couple of months, so it’s better than smoking crack.
