The Learning Curve - Or the Learning Roller Coaster?

When I first started using AdSense, I knew nothing about contextual advertising. It showed in my revenues. For the first few months I was making little more than a few dollars a day. I had to go through a long learning curve, experimenting with formats, appearances and location. I had to test keywords and colors and fonts.

AdLinks Units: Are They Worth It?

When Google first launched AdSense, there was some skepticism from publishers.

I’ve been using AdSense for a very long time, and I think I’ve got it figured out pretty well.
