Google Adsense

I have been a publisher for Google Adsense for more than 6 Months and I have not received a check, nothing! My current account ($96.03) is close to the magic number $100. The thing that disturbs me is the same 6 or so ads keep displaying. I can’t figure that out and I am not about to try.

Adsense is well known and used by many web site owners that are trying to monetize their web site. I have heard of a few success stories about individuals who are making major bank with Google, but these are few and far between.

Is it worth the space of a 468×60 banner? I am thinking it’s not, and maybe that real estate can be used more sensible. I have searched and tested many advert programs and have not found one that hit a home run or even close. To see a list of advert web sites that I tested, click on the link below.

I am currently testing OpenX. This company provides adserver technology.

You have to keep trying to find that goose that laid the golden egg. I just wish it would call out to me to make things much easier.
