Can somebody tell me how bloggers earn from Google Adsense? The clean and fair way of earning, I mean without cheating? Without encouraging other people to click on your advertisements? Without clicking on your own ads? I just don’t understand how I had an adsense account for more than half a year and I’ve seen people doing that. Sorry to have to say this but the “click on me, I’ll click on you” system is not only against the rules but is also unfair.

I will admit that I was also tempted to participate but then again I realized that it’s not worth it. My self-respect is worth much more than a hundred dollars! Pay me two hundred and it’s a deal. Joke – hehe! Seriously, ill-gotten money will not make me happy. Call me hyprocrite for all you want, you can even slit my throat but I intend to stick with my values. If adsense is not for me, for sure there are better ways of augmenting my income. For now, I’ve already submitted a cancellation request to Google so my ads in I Love Sterndal will be totally removed. They say the clicks and impressions will be reviewed and if proven that those are valid, they will pay me 12 dollars. It’s just consuming space in my sidebar and not giving me anything in return so I think I’m fine without adsense.

Perhaps, Google should revise their policies. Like, it shouldn’t be just pay per click, they should also pay per, let’s say, one dollar per a thousand valid visitors. Ah … I don’t know what I’m talking about so this shouldn’t be taken seriously. My point is that if they are using the space, they should at least pay a minimal amount even if nobody’s clicking on it.
