Nevermind the fact that it took me roughly 3 months to reach the $100 mark using Google AdSense…I did it!!! This is chump change compared to hwat some other blogs have made…such as JohnChow.com, which made $693.36 for the month of December…but I’m happy with my progress.
Now, according to others’ experiences, the 300×250 ad size is the best earner. This holds true for me. This ad has generated the best eCPM since Day 1. Problem is, I primarily use the 468×60 banner ad especially since I post alot of videos. There hasn’t been much room for the larger ads. Yesterday, I made two posts: What To Do When The Stock Market Is Closed and WordPress Updates to Version 2.0.7. Both used the 300×250 size ads, and they generated very high eCPMs…a record high for my blog, in fact. I’ve also noticed more image banners coming from my Adsense ads, including a consistent appearance for a Sony Blu-Ray DVD Player.
I’ve also been using 2 other forms of advertising. LinkShare.com is my favorite of the 2 since it features legitimate advertisers and decent payouts. I would include my revenue generated from these links, but my reports only show conversions without the commissions at this time. But they have proven to be pretty good with regard to CTR. However, I do figure that more product-specific ads probably bring better conversions. For that, I’ve been using Azoogle Ads since I don’t yet qualify for any other [worthwhile] ad programs based on my traffic. I am optimistic that will change soon; my traffic has increased pretty consistently each month.

I’m ready, Tom. And I’m anxious to see how your blog develops. I see you just got started on Jan 7th, and I already like what I see. You should definitely consider 300×250 ads in your content. They bring the yummies (that’s just a random word I use for something good whether it be money…or…uh…I should probably think of another word). Anyway, good luck…and thanks!

Congratulations on the milestone, It took me a bit more than you to make my first $100, I’m pretty far away from that point now, but if you continue to develop your online assets at the same rate, It’ll take you much less to reach 4 figures a month.
Keep it up,

Don’t fret

Congrats, I bet Google has billions that they are holding for people that have yet to reach $100. They may want to consider lowering that amount, but I am pretty sure that is part of their plan know many will not get to $100.
Congrats to you!

Great Job! I’ve been testing out picture only banners with the tech site. Site is 1 month old with about a tenth of what you’ve got. Hope to hear you’re at 4 digits before long!

I’m glad I’m not alone in the effort to reach $100. I hear about the people who make $1000 a day and I’m incredibly envious. I guess the best we can do is work really hard.
