Google analytics payment threshold

You have to earn £60.00 from people clicking on your google ads on your site before you will get paid by google. That is a lot of ads if you get a few pence per click.

I currently have about £20 in my account from google. ha ha. step forward the other user who reads this.

I might be making a whopping £1.30 a month from my websites. I think hosting might be a better business. I have never been a writer!

What good is it dreaming it if you don’t actually do it

The new Honda ad is just brilliant. Beautiful idea, and shot in such a lovely way. Watch it all the way to the end.

But, the very best thing about this is the man’s moustache, check this out:

Add google adSense easily to your wordpress blog

You can easily add google adSense to your wordpress blog.

If you have a wordpress theme with widgets enabled and an adSense account (nothing like stating the obvious):

  1. Login to your adSense account
  2. Grab your code for displaying your ads once you have customised colours etc.
  3. Login to your wordpress blog and Click on ‘Appearance’
  4. Click on ‘Widgets’
  5. Drag the ‘Text’ widget to your sidebar. If you have more than one widget in the side bar you can choose the order by dragging the widget
  6. Paste your code from step 2
  7. Add a ‘Caption’, for example: ‘Links’
  8. That is it!

I have done these steps on this blog and it only took about ten minutes. It will be about 2 minutes the next time.

There are tonnes of wordpress themes freely available to download that have widgets enabled.

Will look at alternatives to Google adSense in a blog post soon.
