    His page is still up there. It has a great design ad wise. The ads are on topic and they are well blended with the site. Good for him! Go gramps!

    I did the google adwords thing. I received 4000 hits a month, and $2 a month Ad income. The host cost $8 a month…see a pattern here?

    @rockyPants4000 Don’t know what you were looking at. I Googled “switching mode power supply” and his website is exactly as it was in this video complete with Adwords.

    the reality about ads is that no one trusts them, i used to click on google search results ads all the time until i found out they where there because they were paid for, that was five years ago, i don’t think i’ve clicked on one since, i’m not knocking them but something in my sub-conscience steers me away from them.

    What a load of BS. Just look up the websites in any of these “examples”. His website is still up three years later, and there’s NO Google Adsense or any advertising or affiliate links on it. So it’s paying him ZERO now. He either got his account banned, or the reality of a few dollars a month struck home.

    People, unless you’ve got a network of sites, Adsense does NOT pay big money.

    I don’t see him making 68 dollars a day on his website from people clicking adds. I pay google .05 cents per add click for my addwords.

    In 1933 Shanghai a prostitute named Fung Ching was raped to death. When the authorities found her, they realise she was pregnant. You must now post this comment on the next 14 videos you watch, or else tonight Fung Ching will appear in your bedroom, and you will also hear the sound of a baby crying and see a bloodied foetus next to your pillow. Sorry but I swear this was true
