I believe that 2009 was a very difficult year for everybody with regards to Adsense Earnings.
For me, I noticed a drop in adsense earnings but this slowly picked up as the economic recovery took place. In fact, I recorded RECORD earnings (pun not intended) for various months in 2009.
In terms of earning goals, I have put that at the backseat as I try to deliver more high quality content to readers. I realised that readers are drawn to quality content at the end of the day. As much as I do have earning goals, the time and effort required to execute my plans made me decide to take my goals a little more lightly this year.
My earnings from adsense in 2009 was $254.54. Not a lot and could have been much better if you ask me.
The revenue source was mainly from two sites that I own and have been posting regularly at.
I am certain that 2010 will be a record year for me and based on current estimates, I could easily hit the $500 mark if I were to continue with my current way of doing things.
Yet, I want to improve upon my earnings and hope that this year will be a much better year for me.
What are your adsense earnings for 2009?

How To Get Comments on Your Blog
Have you been blogging for sometime but find that you have little or no comments on your site?
To get comments on your blog is actually really simple. Just make sure that you are engaging your readers in a virtual conversation.
While some postings might be more for information or entertainment purposes, it might not harm to ask people what their thoughts are about certain issues. Writing about controversial issues also tend to get a lot more response than if you were to just write about simple day to day topics that might not interest people.
Here are three ways to get comments on your blog:
1. Ask for Comments. Yes you heard me right. Just ask for people to leave a note or drop a comment. This simple strategy lets readers know that you are interested in hearing their opinion.
2. Ask provoking questions. Get readers to think and ask provoking questions that might get them to react.
3. Put some controversial topics in your posting. Anything controversial is where readers will most likely not be agreeable on certain positions or opinons. This will set a stage for healthy debate and will draw in more and more comments.
What do you think are the best ways to get comments on your blog? Care to share a top secret?
By the way, I think that Google ranks a blog better if it gets more comments. Comments thus play a certain factor in the ranking of your posts and blog.

2 Best Tips to Improve Adsense Earnings
I have read many tips on how one can increase their Google's adsense earnings. Frankly, I have not implemented all of them. But I have tried quite a few techniques and I must say that there are a few things one can certainly do to boost their earnings.
Today, I will share two simple tips which WORKED for me.
1. Large Rectangle ad is the one that has worked best for me thus far. I hated the way it looks as I felt that it took up too much space. I have toggled with it many times and realised that everytime I swapped the Large Rectangle ads for half banners or even full banners, my earnings would drop significantly. Another thing to note is to blend the colors of your ads with those of your blog.
2. Blog regularly. Notice I use the word regularly and NOT frequently. Give people an idea of how often they should visit your site for updates. This should help you to retain existing viewers while attracting new viewers. The key is to make sure that the content on your site is always updated and refreshed so that people will read the information on it. This will help increase your traffic and hopefully pageviews. With an increase in traffic, your adsense earnings can only improve.
So there you have it, two simple tips that have worked for me. Hope to hear success stories soon!

Use LinkWithin to Increase Page Views
I would like to share a simple way that you can increase the number of page views on your site.
We all know that we want readers to navigate around our sites and one of the ways to do that is to include links to other articles at a convenient place after they have read an article.
I have implemented Linkwithin at my sites and noticed that page impressions do go UP.
So here is a fuss free way to enjoy higher pageviews. Implement it on your site today if you still have not done so.

Record Earnings for January 2010
Another new record for my foray into Adsense.
After long experimentation and trials, I have finally managed to get an all time high adsense earnings for the month of January which stands at $65.22.
Not bad considering that I averaged around 2-3 posts per day.
Lessons Learnt:
1. Page impressions matter. Generally, the higher your page impressions, the higher your adsense earnings will be. Of course, there can be days when there is lot of traffic but you hardly make a cent.
2. Keeping blogs interesting and educational. I have always tried to keep my postings as interesting and educational as possible. This is even done when I have little time to write down my thoughts peacefully. Interesting posts attract readers. Educational posts retains them as your readers. Of course, you can just rely on having interesting posts all day long but there might come a day when your readers abandon you for someone more interesting.
3. I have blogged on 2 separate blogs regarding 2 separate topics. It works well for me at the current rate but I question my ability to do this on 3 separate sites or even 4. The amount of time taken to provide quality content regularly can be daunting especially if the topics are vastly different.
I hope February 2010 will be another record breaker so that I can hit my desired online income of $100 per day. Almost 2 years of effort and still little to show for. I need to get this right!
