Thumbs up My Experience

O.K. just last year I started a blog after reading Joel Comm's free E-book, Adsense and Blogging. I signed up for Blogger and started a health blog based on Keven Trudeau's books.

Lesson learned...Despite the well-documented evidence I couldn't(and still can't) afford what he recommends. Plus I have a medical condition myself. So who was I to give advice on good health! After several weeks I just thought "what on Earth am I thinking!" Silly me. But when I do get the money, this will certainly be one of my niches!

So I started a weather blog . I was just crusin' along until one day I realized I didn't have the proper tools. Thus, it became drudgery.

Lesson learned...I need to to walk not run.

Now I've shut down those blogs to focus on not only what I like but also be engaged in. Online Gaming and Michael Jackson.

By the way. I've also jumped on the Adsense bandwagon to fast(I don't even got 100 average uniques a day for either blog). Plus my bouncing rate is just over 75%(but slightly dropping).

Lesson learned... Don't even think about monetizing until you've got loyal targeted traffic.

One question should I close my Adsense account until I'm established or try to wade it out? I've only accumulated $30-$50 bucks thus far.

Now, I'm willing to do whatever it takes to succeed online! Despite being disabled.
