A Google Adsense Addiction
Author: Steve Szasz

54% of all Google Adsense publishers admit addiction to click
income. A recent online study conducted by a small group of
Google Publishers found that 54% of all Adsense publishers
where addicted to the income potential of Googles Pay Per Click
system.

Some Google Adsense Publishers Need Therapy
It was also found that some publishers were so addicted they
where checking their Adsense statistics up to 50 times per day.


Google Adsense is a system where individuals who own content
rich website's can earn money by placing small targeted ads
within the content of their website.

The ads can be customised to fit within the scheme of the
website and some successful publishers can earn in excess of
$200,000 per month.

One publisher stated that her addiction started the day she
placed the Adsense code into her html code. "I was introduced
to Adsense by my boyfriend, who makes around a $1000 a month".
She went on to say that she doesn't blame Google for her
addiction, but the fever in which forums and blogs promote the
fact that anyone can become rich with this scheme inspired her
to keep adding pages and checking her stats.

Kate, did state that she was earning a reasonable amount of
money from Google Adsense, but told us she also spent a
considerable amount of money on scripts, ebooks and promises of
gaining all you would ever want to know about Adsense, from
forum gurus claiming they had made their fortunes and where
willing to share their secrets if you deposited $97 into their
PayPal account.

Rags to Riches in 51 Days
Another publisher I spoke to told me his addiction had made him
a rich man in 51 days. "I was browsing the net on October the
15th last year and came across a website that had a photo of a
guy holding a Google cheque for nearly $200,000 dollars. Under
the picture it stated that this was just a 1 month pay check
from Google. Lights and bells went off in my head as I thought,
Man, this is what I have been looking for".

David, had been dabbling in online money making schemes for
about 6 years and to date had not been very successful. But he
did have 3 website's which had 1000's of visitors to them and
after reading all he could on the subject, David placed 2 small
Adsense ads on each page of his 1000 page website. "I didn't
sleep that night. I was so excited, I checked my stats every 10
minutes all night" he said. Just when he was about to give up
for the night, David did his final stats check. "It was 5.50am
exactly and I nearly fell off

my chair. 1000 impressions, 98 clicks and a total of $18
income. I couldn't sleep that day as I checked my stats every
15 minutes and watched the income rose to over $58 for the day.
I was addicted to this thing, this scheme was going to make me
rich and I wasn't going to miss a minute of it" David said.

David had gone from $32 in his Bank account to over $6,700 in
just 51 days. He had checked his stats on average 60 times per
day and had spent more than 612 hours during that 51 days
optimising his sites and adding content. David also admitted
just like Kate that he had spent quite a bit of his profits on
"how to" books, but stated that it was money very well spent.

"I am addicted to Google Adsense" Kate told me, " but what
better addiction could you have than earning money, while doing
something you love".
