I just added adsenses to this blog. Not that I am willing to make money from it, with 6K visits a month, I highly doubt I will hit the 100$ required to receive the first check.

The reason is twofold:

  • In my professional life, I am an anouncer, using Adwords to reach visitors searching about DO-178B and IEC 61508 code generators. I just wanted to know how the other side of the system was working. My first impression is: wow, how easy it is !
  • I want ot experiment of what it is possible to do with Adsenses and CSS, and maybe a bit of javascript.

As a user, I am a bit disapointed, having always thought Ads are bad, I find myself clicking on adds, not for earning money (I'm sure google has the means to remove my clicks), but because the adds actually interest me. Their algorythm to find targetted Ads seems pretty good, so lets play a bit and see the results.

NB: should I ever receive a check from google, the first one will be for regne.net which hosts me freely.
