For some reason I have been making less and less, which is strange because I just started this Soul Cast thing and I really expected my earnings to go up.

I blame Google, not Soul Cast.

Maybe a cool new feature for Soul Cast could be the option to have different ads, maybe from places like Yahoo or Adbrite, just so the writer can choose how he/she makes her bank.

I guess I can also blame my lack of income on the amount of Poker I play. All freerolls, which don't cost me anything, but I waste a lot of time. When will my life take the turn I need and want.

Or are we all waiting for that turn. Maybe I need a new outlook.

    Adsense is harder to make money from than most people think. It has to do with some ovious things like placement etc. but also content and what readers of that content may do. I noticed my more technical stuff I write get less clicks. Probably because the people reading it are used to stuff like that and don't click. Finding a topic which is Adsenseable is the way to go.
  • anonymous said on Jul 17, 2006....
    another thing to note is that at first your ads are shown 100% of the time and after 60 days it's split 50/50 with soulcasts ads. This may be another reason it's gone down.

    I have only been on the site a few days. I have yet to see the traffic from Soul Cast to make a difference. My other site is my real money maker, I was just trying to expand. It just sucks when you put work into something and don't get the results you were hoping for. I think things will look up once Google fixes some internal problems they are having with click fraud. People need to trust them more if they are going to spend the big bucks. We will just have to see.
  • anonyme said on Jul 17, 2006....
    Soulcast is also pretty like 2 months old so it may be a while before we see the traffic of other sites.
  • cricketsoda said on Jul 17, 2006....
    Yeah...once more people are posting I am sure there will be more traffic. Of course, I like the fact now that I can be featured on the home page if I just put some effort into my article. Once the site starts to boom I am going to have a little more competition. :) We shall see...I know I am going to try and do my part.

    I think you may have unrealistic expectations. It takes a lot of page impressions and clicks, and to get those you have to have lots of people visiting your pages. It is not easy. Or perhaps I'm not doing it right. After a few months I have a total of 7 cents racked up in my Adsense account. I'm still waiting for my check. :-)
  • ALIENated said on Jul 17, 2006....
    I am still at 87 cents. Lots of views, but no one is clicking on the ads. I think I clicked on some ads, which I really wanted to see, and that is what triggered even that.

    i need to get clarification on something before i get an adsense account. ed
  • Pekiro said on Jul 18, 2006....
    I get nothing out of it. I think to put an advert on your blog you should be paid. Its only google which gains out of this.
  • mrfreek said on Jul 18, 2006....
    What's the most amount of dollars or cents you've earned on 1 Google Adsense click?
  • cricketsoda said on Jul 18, 2006....
    I earn about $2500 a month from Google. Not just from this site, but from my others. But it has been dropping! I think this dream money maker isn't going to last forever.
  • sweetums0001 said on Jul 19, 2006....
    holy cow! $2500, that's amazing, good for you! I can see why you want to keep the interest flowing.

    I get quite a decent number of views too and many from outside this community, because I invite people from other forums which I participate in to read my blogs at SoulCast. However my ad click rates really sucks. Earning to date, after more than a month of trying is $5.38. My broadband bill cost much, much more than that :-(
  • GMNIMan said on Jul 19, 2006....
    cricketsoda, where is your other site. I am interested and I'd like to pay a visit...
  • cricketsoda said on Jul 20, 2006....
    My other site is CricketSoda.com. Our most popular feature is our Myspace editor.
  • GMNIMan said on Jul 20, 2006....
    Go it! Hey, I think your site is real cool.
  • cricketsoda said on Jul 22, 2006....
    Thanks! I work hard on it...
  • cricketsoda said on Jul 22, 2006....
    Has anyone tried getting friends to sign up, and referring them to Google. If they make enough money to cash out, you make $100. I am trying to get all my friends into it. I figure one of them will have a popular blog. (I hope)
  • isabel said on Jul 22, 2006....
    I'm feeling extremely disappointed guys.tried to find normal jobs but I can't.got degree but no experience and thought i could make some money with this... I am so naive!!!
  • cricketsoda said on Jul 24, 2006....
    Isabel, you have made two posts. Maybe you should put forth a little more effort?
  • ellaywest said on Jul 24, 2006....
    I still don't know how the hell adsense works...or how to do it...dumb blonde black chick...yes, I am.... sometimes!!! I need help but I a get more confused with help!!!! :-(
  • isabel said on Jul 24, 2006....
    cricketsoda you're right! As always! But I guess people's info made me feel a little bit down.
  • cricketsoda said on Jul 24, 2006....
    Aww Isabel..if there is anything I can do to help out let me know. I will always post some comments on your blogs. Ellaywest...keep up the hard work. Learning these types of things takes time and you just have to keep pushing on. Don't worry is success dosn't come right away. Most of the time things like this take time. Good luck!
  • vini said on Jul 31, 2006....
    hi guys, i wanted to put a google referral ad on my page but m not able to do it..can any1 suggest how to plant it in source and make it SHOW!! blue girl vini
  • cricketsoda said on Sep 10, 2006....
    Hi Vini,
    I don't think you can put the referral ad on your Soul Cast. I don't think they allow that type of HTML to be posted.

    The only way you can make money is by entering your property info into the Soul Cast system.

    I heard someone made $30...but I have yet to.
  • portdeco20 said on Apr 29, 2007....

    you should really concentrate on playing your game, not foccusing on your blog. Keep playing, win some sessions and post some good news, if not, if you lose, you will get some support. Check out my blog, i made it today and will keep it updated on how im doing. keep in touch
