If you have been following me for some time now, then you should have noticed that i am a guy that likes to experiment and commit mistakes.
It is how we learn right? At least that’s what i hope. lol
Well, i have a forum with over 1000 members and a very decent traffic count each day.
I am using Simple Machines to power the forum and i was using the version 1.1.4 with a great looking template with ads very well placed, specially the adsense link units.
I arrived from camping yesterday, but i was so tired from the 8h trip that i fell a sleep.
Every year, all student nurses, and nurses from the all country gather to do what we call the National encounter of nursing students. This was my second one, and this time the weather didn’t helped. IT rained all the 5 days, and the sun only appeared for a few hours, but i still managed to go to the beach and get a sun burn! ouch! lol
The worst part, beside the bad weather, was the trip… 8h to arrive my destiny, and i had to took 3 different transports.. really boring….
If you haven’t heard, and if you use google adsense, then you must know that google changed the adsense TOS. Now, all publishers are required to have a privacy policy. And many of you will search for a free privacy policy generator. I sure did searched :p
Here is a short paragraph regarding this:
“You must have and abide by an appropriate privacy policy that clearly discloses that third parties may be placing and reading cookies on your users’ browser, or using web beacons to collect information, in the course of ads being served on your website. Your privacy policy should also include information about user options for cookie management.”
I decided to let you know what wordpress plugins im using in this blog.
1 – All in one SEO and Headspace 2 : these two plug ins allow you to turn your blog a little bit more friendly. Both help you creating tags for your post so that you can have your post easily spidered by search engines. Google indexes my post in a matter of an hour!
YOu can download them here:
I prefer Headspace2 but, the two complement wach other. I did a review of headspace here.
Google changed the area that users can click in the ads. Now, you can only click on the title or the address. the body not clickable now.

Is this any good? well, for advertisers it must be, the acidental clicks ratio will decrease substantially, and what about publishers? where, Tolnetwork, said, since google changed this, his results increased a lot.
What happened to your clicks? Have they increased or not?
Today im gonna mention Jim carter’s blog. Jim carter made last month $41900!!! This result is amazing!!! If i made $100 a month i would be astonished!! lol but with $41900 is more than an average portuguese makes in one month!
Also, Jim carter wants to cut down his google adsense earnings in his overall profit from all programs. he doesn’t want to depend that much on adsense. And i totally agree with him. I see many wemasters that the only source of revenue is google adsense, and if someday they have a bad surprise a lot can be in jeopardy.
Finally, we can change the code directly from google adsense account! I tell you, this is one of the best moves that adsense made. Now it is a lot more simply to edit our codes. No more logging into our hosting account from our multiple websites, looking for the code that we needed to update. Now we can simply edit it directly from our adsense account.
Just make sure you name all the ad blocks you create so that you don’t get confused when you need to edit them, and if you have a lot of blocks. 
We are at the beginning of the second week of November, and some bloggers from the “make money online business” share with their readers last month earnings.
In this post im mentioning a success story from my country. Custodio is a full time “online money maker”! Yeah that’s how i call him :p he on average earns approximately $12000 a month. But he, has many others blog owners from europe that actually make decent amounts of money online, is being affected by dollar devaluing.
So last month he made a total of $9580 from his sales, mini-sites, adsense earnings:
