Adsense Dumped Me

Well kiddies I guess I will not be making any money on adsense after all. They gave me the boot . I received an email informing me that my advertisers found my subject matter to be offensive or that a review of my blogs caused concern. All of this was due to my Palm Bay Sucks Blog which was generating a lot of hits and the majority of my clicks. My balance for the month was just under $50.00 but it exceeded my expectations. I thought if I did several more blogs on better subject matter that I might be able to generate a couple of hundred bucks a month through adsense. I do not know why I can not still run adsense on my other blogs and I very well might be able to once I figure it out but as for now my account has been shut off. It is very hard to figure out the appeal process because it closed all pages not just the Palm Bay sucks page.
What I learned on Palm Bay sucks is you can generate interest in your site in a few different ways. The first being controversial the City I live in Palm Bay FL did not take too kindly to the blog . It was meant to be satire and I think the truth hurt a little more then they wanted. First thing that happened is when I had my email at Palmbay@FL.USA.com shut down because the city complained about unsolicited emails. What I did was send basically all the city workers the link with a catchy title in the subject line. A couple of days I had over 600 hits on my site. So if I wrote a piece concerning another nearby down that Boarders Palm Bay I sent their City's employees the link. People love to forward funny stuff and indeed my site got around because a couple of days it went wild. Now the fun is over and I find it hard to write anything because they knocked the wind right out of my sails. Give me a few days and I will find something to piss them off over at City hall.
Another way I got people to the site was Craig's list I would post something in the rants and raves section with the link. for instance I wrote something about FL being invaded by New Yorkers, So I hit the Craig's list rants and raves in New York with a title like don't move to FL and a link it generated alot of traffic. By alot I mean a few hundred in a couple of hours. Ultimately Craig's list would remove the posting as inappropriate but I still got some traffic.
Another place I went to was the local newspaper opinion forum
At least I proved a little local blog could generate a little cash. Maybe if I was not such a Dick I could have kept it going with a blog different then a local political satire site. I wanted to have fun and it was.
I am now focusing on click bank and I will let you know in a week how it goes its a little different angle because you are selling products not just letting people randomly click on random ads put up by google.
