Brian gets his Money for Nothing, Chicks for Free

Well I just capped off one of my most productive months of blogging. I even wrote a post about the Michigan Stadium renovations that was deleted right as I was about to publish it. (I'm too lazy to re-write it.)

If you can remember it was a month ago that I announced that I was selling out to Google with Google Adsense. I guess that one of the advantages of the site is that it tracks the number of people that have visited my blog. It turns out that more people read it than I thought. In the one month span there have been 450 views of my blog. That equates to about 15 views a day. It also turns out that people have been clicking my ads too. Check out this chart for more details:




The really good news is that the 19 clicks have netted me exactly 7$ on the month. I know, I know, I can't wait to spend it all. But Google wont pay me until I have garnered 100$, so for right now, I'll just have to wait for more clicks. I anticipate that I should have a 100$ check in my hand around January of 2009. Isn't that exciting? No?

But you can see that views are much higher right around or after new posts. This means the more I blog the more views I get but right now there isn't any statistical correlation between the number of views and the number of ad clicks. Maybe if I had more friends in the blogosphere I would be more of an internet sensation.
