@Richard: You can email me at jacob2lame[at]gmail.com , then I can give you a clear explanation easier.
emailed you.
Woah, nice post !!
erm about ur new theme .. GOOD but the background take times to load .. try to split the images into small size n use repeat function.
oh, is it? Haha still many things to fix with this new theme =.=”
Nice points. I would also add that you must have multiple streams of income. Although Google is great, you need to spread your income across many affiliate programs to increase it.
You could also mention that adding images into your posts. Images speak a thousand words
@George: Thanks for your tips. And added your point to the list =)
i change to google adsense d cos Bidvertiser earning quite slow..do u have any other idea how to imcrease earning..i did try all your method d..but still the same
i hope in future i depend fully on adsense to make money..cos i wan become full time blogger
Nice post Jacob. I prefer only image Ads on my blog rather than text links. I believe they blend better with the post and it seems as if it were private advertising and not Adsense.
@DavidLee: Erm, I think traffic flow is important. You can also test different ad placement to get higher CTR. Anyway I’m still new to the blogosphere, and this really needs a good “knowledge and experience”. We have to put more “hard work” into it
@LimPek: Great, same here. Good luck for all of us =)
@Asswass: Thanks. Ya, a creative image ads will get more people to notice.
nice layout!
u did this yourself?
i’m in my exam month currently. will be back in malaysia end of june. yeay!
@ariff: Haha, thanks. Nono, I bought it and modified somethings. Great, where you live in malaysia? KL?
I had no knowledge about PR and making money when I started blogging. Then when I received an email from google about my earnings, I started doing research about SEO and PR. I’ve learned a little about them but still not enough. I haven’t earned bucks from affiliates but paid posts has given me a mean stream of income.
Marlene´s last blog ..The Smell He Hates
@Marlene: Cool, I never do any paid posts before. Keep up your good work! =)
Thanks Jacob – this is such good info! Even bloggers who aren’t so new like me can really benefit from a review on some critical do’s and dont’s.
@Evita: You’re welcome. Thanks for visiting my blog too =)
That’s an awesome “checklist” you have here! Here’s one I would like to add.
Narrow your focus: Blog on a niche. It’s easier to become a Big Fish in a Small pond.

willie´s last blog ..Norris and Liwan’s Wedding
Thanks Jacob for the list!
The main important thing is you have to know the main objective why you’re blogging.
Yeah, you have to learn SEO and some skills if you want to success in Adsense. If you can do it, there’s a big potential that you’ll gain a great success from Adsense =)
