Remember that seasonal clicks can help. I noticed that ghost-related clicks increased in value a couple of weeks ago. That's probably related to the Halloween season, when I can see as much as a 5x increase in click values.

The seasonal increases (traffic + click value) last only a few weeks, but -- while they're good -- it's smart to find ways to make the most of them.

Averaging over $1/day is a great start! Good for you, and thanks for continuing to update us!

I'm so pleased when people post their results! I think it gives the rest of us a clearer picture of what's really going on among those earning a living online (or trying to).

After years of conditioning, reading about people who made 4+ figures, almost overnight, I think honest income reports are vital.

From my viewpoint, the economy has created a dangerous situation: People lose their jobs and -- in a panic (and a slim job market) -- they're frantic to replace the paycheque as quickly as possible.

So, they're especially vulnerable to claims that may be true for a few people, especially those who already have a reliable customer base.

If they survey others' offers, the "overnight riches" and "earn money while you sleep" stories seem the norm rather than the exceptions that they are. So, newbies may (reasonably) think they can buy one product and get the same results.

Worse, they often think that, if a $7 product is good, a $197 product will be vastly better. (As you know, that's not always true.)

I hate to see people spend money they can't really afford, for products that won't deliver what's expected.

So, thank you for your honest reports.

From what I've seen, your AdSense income is very good for one or two new sites. Good for you!
