Matt of MetaFilter<\/a> and PVRBlog<\/a> fame has written a great article detailing how he’s made some serious coin from Google’s AdSense Ads<\/a> on PVRBlog. I was able to cover my yearly web hosting bill after several weeks of running Google Ads (I only have ads on individual archive pages), but would love to see some more zeros on the end of my Google checks. Based on Matt’s advice, the more focused the blog the more money you’ll likely make. One thing I don’t like about AdSense is that I can’t tell which ads are being clicked. I have a feeling that most of my clicks are coming from my stock trading blog<\/a> (which is very focused), as opposed to this one. But there’s no way for me to be sure. Regardless, Matt’s given me some ideas for increasing my AdSense revenues. If you have any desire to blog for dollars, I suggest you read his article.
