Started a blog

[madaozeki]

Hi powerlifting people,

If you're interested, I started a blog mostly devoted to Olympic weightlifting and my own training. Thought some of you might find some of the content interesting or useful.

Link is here:

Feel free to "follow" it and leave comments.

Also, if you see an ad that interests you, go ahead and click. I'm saving up to purchase some new plates for my home gym

Mods, if I've violated any board rules with this post, please remove it immediately and let me know so I won't do it again.

Thanks man, very much appreciated

I have 5 "followers" already, which I guess means you get notified when I post anything so you don't need to bookmark it or visit it ever unless there's something new. So feel free to click "follow" if that's more convenient for you!

how much do you get paid per ad click?

[madaozeki]

how much do you get paid per ad click?

Not much, like 0.25 or so, but I've already made $7 in 2 days

The plates I want cost $79.99, or $119.99 for the colored ones, so hopefully I'll have enough to buy them for myself for Xmas.

They do click-tracking, so I can't click myself or have one person click on 92948734 ads, but if every time you read it you click on a couple (like open up in background tabs) that'd be awesome.

oh, i was about to say, i could make you an autoclicking macro

Hahaha that sounds like something they'd frown on...

But feel free to send the link to anyone you think might enjoy it!

Sounds like you've got mad skillz, impressive

[samsuperjew]

not really, you can just google "autoclicker" or anything to that effect and download a program that tells you what to do

the power of google is limitless, as is the power of the misc, they could probably help you out if you'd like

We should all make blogs with ads.

We should all make blogs with ads.

...and click on them for each other?

mine would be the most boring one out there! everyone could ride along with me on the hour ride and witness my day at work and donuts at 430am on the way home.

[skinnycalves]

Tomorrow im supervising someone with aspergers, would make for an interesting blog entry haha.

Madao, your posts are always worth reading, so i just might be forced to read your blog.

I've never ventured in there! Kind of scared of that place...

I added the ads so I could afford my Xmas present I may remove them once I hit my goal! Unless I need to buy something for Valentine's Day next...

A "day" at work that ends at 4:30AM? That sound like it has potential for being interesting. Unless you're a night watchmen. Unless the nightwatchmen job is at the Museum of Natural History...

Ha! I think your math skillz are lacking there

0.25*400=$100
0.25*40,000=$10,000

But yeah, the general point stands. I'm obviously not planning on getting rich this way, but if I can earn enough in a few weeks to get my plates, I'll be happy

lol, that would be alot more interesting!

i build cars on the night shift- 4 ten hour days a week. my day starts at 330 when i leave home to pick up my carpool. it's an hour or so drive to the plant, the real work-day begins at 5:30pm and ends at 4 am. i've been laid off for the last 2 weeks for a parts shortage, but go back next tuesday.

usually we stop for coffee on the way home, if the fresh donuts are out i can't resist, so i get one (or 3). i get home about 5:45am and get to bed about 6:30. the kids get me up around 10:30 or 11, then after my daughter gets on the school bus at noon, i try to get the little one to let me take a nap. sometimes i'm successfull, more often i'm not.

basically, i spend 4 days a week living on caffeine and 5 hours of sleep.

[EinMassengrab.]

i'll click on each add once a day

[skinnycalves]

It would almost be worth it to buy a second computer and second internet connection. I wouldn't care if my second computer contracted a virus, if I had the potential of getting 10,000 dollars. U mad im going to feed my family by miscin?

You bet! I hang out in there from time to time and thought they might be interested

Yeah, I don't have the potential of getting 10,000 I'll be happy if I get $50/month!

[HumanHorrorFilm]

Does it cost anything to start a blog on there?

Nope. Nor does it cost anything to host google ads.

ohhh you mean 25 cents per click...... i thought you ment like 1/4th of a cent per click.


how can they possibly afford to pay 25 cents per click? ****, i could actually make $ with that :P

My understanding is that there's a range of prices paid by the advertiser, depending on how popular the key words used to generate an ad impression make. When I had a short-lived real estate blog, it was more like $1 per click. The ads my current blog host appear to range from $0.07-0.50 per click.

However, the rules are pretty strict about soliciting clicks (I probably bent them already since I read the rules after posting!), and they'll shut you down in a flash if they suspect you're breaking them!

Do you have a blog?
