Contest Cancelled

I checked my email this morning and found that my adsense account has been disabled. This is what the email said.

"While going through our records recently, we found that your AdSenseaccount has posed a significant risk to our AdWords advertisers. Sincekeeping your account in our publisher network may financially damageour advertisers in the future, we've decided to disable your account."

I read the FAQ's and they disable accounts when they can identify any user who appears to click for the sake of revenue generation and that user becomes a "risk" to their advertisers. So . . . sorry, contest over. Don't click on people's ads unless you really want to see what it is.

$22.93

Contest Update -- There is still time to enter my first blog contest. The prize is $100. The first 100 dollars of my ad revenue. All you have to do is enter in the comments sections of the Fifth Post of Christmas (You have until midnight on Dec 31, 2007 to enter or amend your entry.) I will go off the last entry before 2008 as your official one. As it stands right now, the dollar amount is $22.93.

The Fifth post of Christmas & the first CONTEST on my blog

Now some of you may have noticed that I added ads to my blog. I did it for 2 main reasons.

First I love the blog called pioneer woman that I told you about a couple posts ago -- and she has ads and she does contests and gives away great prizes. She commented that it was because she doesn't want to make money from her blog and it is funner to give it away. I started wondering if I could make any money so that I could give away prizes.

Second, I was just curious how they work, how much do you get for doing absolutely nothing at all.

It works like this, you put the ads on, and you get paid. They won't cut you a check until you have made $100. So this is the reason for the first contest. (It is also a shameless bid to generate comments from all 3 of my faithful readers) (Or maybe there are more of you out there????)

To enter the contest, simply predict the month and year in which I will get my first $100 check. To help you in selecting the time frame I will let you know that after 8 weeks of having ads on my blog I have earned a WHOPPING $2.75. (impressive isn't it???) Also I think you get paid about 20 cents per 500 page loads and about 20 cents per click on a link. (and I cannot click on them).

Now here is the fun part . . . the prize (which of course may be years away) will be $100. If no one guesses the month and year correctly then I will get to keep the money for some other contest which I have not thought of yet.

The Rules . . . Only 1 entry per person. All entries must be recieved before 2008.
