  i wish i'd seen this before, man. this is a perfectly valid point and i agree it doesn't appear to have any conflict w/ the adsense program rules. ed

  Thanks ed, I wish that more people have read it too. Unfortunately it never made the [i]Featured Post[/i] list, not on the front page, and never even in the obscure pages. I really wondered why? Was it because of something that I have mentioned which may have been against the rules? Could it have been the tag word 'Click' (which I have since removed BTW)? The way things work here is you will only get the exposure and be read if you make the Featured Post pages. So what is the criteria to fulfil in order to be listed anyway? And what are the taboos?

  Very good point. The fact is the posts and their comments are so engrossingly interesting that the reader's attention is focused only on the issue being discussed and the intended responses. At times, it seems that the Google Ads posted on the related site are the same generic ads seen in other sites. One suggestion would be to make your topic as interesting and as commercially appealing to a wider range of readership. Say if your post was about an interesting hobby say for example baseball, the more approprite ads would be baseball cards and online baseball shops, etc. Your well meaning advice will benefit not only the bloggers but the Soulcast site as well for the sustained revenues that can be generated from a sincere effort to support the advertisers of our site. As to the featured posts, my theory is that posts authored by the most popular members are probably programmed to be featured in that area since it is presumed that they will generate certain number of hits. In time, if your post can accumulate more than 100 hits it inches its way up into the featured posts. Excellent work on this post, keep it up :)

  In the past week I've managed about $10. Half of it being me using an anonymous proxy. To help you earn money, the best website to use is www.the-cloak.com . You just type in the website and it goes to it and you can go clicking away. Whichever blog I go on, I make an effort to click at least one ad. If you comment on my blog, I click all of your ads. It's only fair that way.

  I think what nadinetannous wrote is against adsense TOS, you should be more carefull before you write about something. In my opinion the main problem is the ads placing. If the ads showed up in the content I think it can gain more clicks. I think we should ask the soulcast owner to change the ads placing if it possible. Any opinion?

  "One active member here is earning about $2500 a month while I remember reading a post earlier where another member was earning something like $1500, but none of these were earned through their SoulCast blogs but elsewhere. " How long did it take them to get to the point of making that much money? None of the soulcast blogs have been around that long. this site is only about 3 months old according to alexa. Your comparing apples to oranges. People making that much money have put a ton of effort into marketing themselves while no one on soulcast has done that yet mainly because this site is so new.

  anonymous, I don't make hurry to make money ;) I spend for blogging and other things only 15-20 minutes a day, but soon I will get a paper from Google, which I will bring to my bank. But all this is totally not SoulCast. >SoulCast community do not really bother >to look at the ads that are being posted >let alone click on them Easy, they are most of the time below the lowest letter you write in the comment ;) You just don't see them. If the ads were right under the heading, there would be more fun with it :) :) :)

  You're right, you need huge traffic to earn significant amount of money.
  The real problem is how soulcast is marketted : I discovered soulcast clicking on an adsense (which i do not often at all), the ads was 'make money bloggin' or something like that. And that's why i clicked, i'm not naiv but curious.
  So people gets here thinking they'll make a lot of money, so they try to find a way to make money. Furthermore, they are encouraged to think it's easy to make money reading liyng posts...
  I'm not sure soulcast will live long ... this way
