Seeking revenue, gaining independence
I am taking down Adsense on a few sites as a test after reading how one poorly converting site can “smart price” an entire AdSense account.
This was pretty old news (posted Oct 2005, a year ago) and it is a surprise that I had not ran across it all these while.
How much truth this piece of information still holds? Maybe my test and some research will show some results.

I have neglected this blog for a while because I could come up with solid content to fill it. Doing analytics is inherently time consuming, my plan is to post at least 1 to 2 analysis a month. The analysis will be based on what I am doing online and my own blogs.

Last week I finally made my first conversion for Adsense Referral. It was for downloading Picasa so that’s $1.
I have another Picasa referral for $0.10 yesterday.
Over the months that I ran referral, there were a handful of sign up for Adsense, but I guess no one made it past $100 in 180 days.
Overall my conversion for referral is not good at all.
It would be interesting to see and learn from what others are doing to increase referral conversion.
How is your referral conversion?
