Well, I’m a little bored at work today so I spent some time on my website. As you’ve probably noticed by now, I know have a Google Adsense bar on the right, along with a Google Search Box.

I’ve heard alot of stuff over the last few years about Google’s “price per click” strategy and how it’s turning some people into millionaires. More of an experiment than any real need, I thought I would drop it in here and see how it goes. It was surprisingly simple to get working, and it’s pretty customizable. Currently all I’m getting is “Public Service Announcements” but they say that will change when they crawl my site again. Supposedly I’ll get a few cents every time someone clicks on the advertisement, and I’ll also get a few cents when someone clicks on one of the search results from the search box (if it’s an advertiser).

I’ve done my best to make it as non-intrusive as possible, but I’m sure someone will find it annoying. If I make some cash, then so be it. Honestly, I expect I’ll fall into the <$50 a year group.

Update 11:35pm : Wow… less than a day and I’ve already earned 25 cents.
