Google Adsense Part IV

It's difficult to be so stupid.
Simply signing up through blogger was not enough. They required personal information, such as my real name. This makes sense considering they are going to mail me actual checks. There was also an email verification. Duh. I wouldn't be surprised if they required a copy of my driver's license or some other proof that I am who I say I am. However, it appears my personal information like name and address is sufficient. Google Adsense will not require any more information. Good. That was painless. In a few days I should have approval, and I can begin the process of blogging actual content. Cheers.

Google Adsense part III

There. I cleaned up the name of the blog.
I wonder if the Google Adsense links will magically reappear?

Google Adsense Part II

I log into this page to change the colors. The black and white theme I chose when first signing up for blogger is on a million pages. The only way to stand out and get people to make a new association with your page is to be unique. Switching up the color scheme is my plan for more bookmarks.

The color choices are always limited in HTML the way I see it. Only choose colors that everyone can see, and everyone's browser renders the same. The palette is also limited via the blogger interface unless you can code your own colors. After saving the changes the new main page is shown to be in all it's new color glory!

Something is missing. The layout is still lame and the colors are different, but not any better.
What's missing is the Google Adsense link near the top of the page. Refresh. Nothing changes. Refresh again. Nothing. Where are the Google links? Perhaps I've been cut out of their program for blogging bad about the terms of service? That seems so petty. What are the odds Google would be policing my blog so soon? Bots shouldn't be picking up anything unusual. There's not fifty f-bombs in my first few posts or anything similar. Perhaps the name "Shit Eating Rebublicans" is offensive. Most people do not like to talk about shit. My intention was to educate the world on shit that's eating at Rebublicans, not Rebublican's shit.

Come back to me Google. You are my only planned steam of revenue.

Google Adsense

How to make money from blogging.

Step one: Generate tons of traffic. Either you trick millions of people into viewing your website, or you put up actual content. Your choice.

Step two: Put up some ads. Here at blogger.com it's easy for bloggers to start earning cash with Google Adsense. After just a few clicks your account is all set up, and the advertisements start popping up like mushrooms in the night.

That's it! Enjoy your new stream of income.

I did have one small problem with the Google Adsense terms of service, however. One cannot combine a website about gambling or casinos with Google Adsense. Child pr0n? Sure, I could see Google not wanting any part of that, but gambling? So no blog about Las Vegas or misadventures on the Indian reservations? No blogs about riverboat gambling? What about blogs on my state lottery? Google, please reconsider. My plans for world domination have been put on hold until you change your policy.
