Last Friday, September 10, I officially became a member of the Google AdSense program, which pays you to run targeted advertising based on the content of your web site. It's pretty easy to implement: just copy-and-paste some code into your web page and Google chooses which ads to run. After you earn $100, Google cuts you a check. I figured I had nothing to lose, so I gave it a try. I started running the ads at my math web site early Friday morning and thought I'd see my first check, oh, sometime around 2012. Boy was I wrong. So far I'm averaging close to $3 a day! That won't allow me to quit my day job, but wow, talk about exceeding expectations. If you run a web site with good content and have any kind of significant traffic, you are wasting money if you're not running Google Ads.
