eHow Experience: Day 9 - Google AdSense

The most noteworthy thing that happened to me today (sadly not just with regards to eHow) is that my Google AdSense account was approved (I applied on Day 4). I'm actually pretty excited about this.

Essentially, Google AdSense allows me to put Google ads on this website (and others). These are the same types of ads that monetize eHow and bring in the money that pays eHow writers.

Although that last point is a debated topic amongst eHow aficionados and the eHow team denies it I'm standing by it. I've now gotten off on a tangent and that's another conversation entirely.

Much like eHow.com I don't expect Google Adsense to be a get rich overnight scheme, but rather just another potential income stream that I'm looking forward to learning (and writing) more about.

This eHow Experience website just became slightly more than a hobby to keep me accountable for regular eHow article publishing - now it's a potential (albeit small) income source.

Going forward I'll include Google Adsense updates in these daily posts when applicable so that you can decide if it's something that you want to try. (Check out the Day 19 post for an update on the Google AdSense tracking.)

As far as writing eHow articles goes I'm actually out of town this weekend and unfortunately don't have time to publish any articles.

I realize that everyone's lifestyles are different but it's been my experience that my weekends are my least productive eHow time. I'm sure for a lot of people it is just the opposite.

If you want to leave a comment about your most and least productive eHow times below this post I invite you to do so.

  1. At this step of reading your interesting site, I suggest you what I consider an improvement.

    To install a "next" button near the title of the article on the top of the page.

    So we have just to click on it instead of going down in the page to find the next day link.

  2. Good suggestion. I'm out of town this weekend (snowboarding) but I'll try to implement that when I get back. In the meantime I hope you've seen the Blog Archive in the column to the right.

  3. I have been using Google Adsense for almost five years now on most of my blogs and sites. I am a bit confused to see these car ads on a site about writing for Ehow, the ads are supposed to be relevant to your blog's theme.

  4. Is it possible to add adsense to eHow articles and if so, how?

  5. AdSense is on eHow. eHow adds the ads. Just look at any ehow article.

    You have to have your own website to implement your own AdSense account.

  6. Very informative and useful blog! How do you add the "next" button as mentioned by Gerard above? I have gone to the Blogger help site- still can't find it! Thanks for your help and Happy Holidays!! :)

  7. Aspiring Freelance Writer,

    To be perfectly honest with no I never followed up on Gerald's (good)suggestion about adding a next button near the top.

    I've somewhat meanly forced my readers to continue to use the "older post" and "newer post" buttons below. For the most part I don't think they've minded.

    I suspect if you Google your question you'll get some useful results.

    Best of luck to you.
