My first Google Adsense Cheque

June 8, 2008

I finally managed to earn my first $100 with Google Adsense after nearly 3 years of blogging! I think for most bloggers, earning the first Adsense cheque from Google is what they would want to achieve the most. Thank you Google!

adsense

Based on current Ringgit-US Dollar exchange rate, it’s only RM300++.. maybe even less after all the transaction fees. I sure missed the old days when 1USD = RM3.80! Although there are many alternatives to Google Adsense like Nuffnang and Advertlets.. I will stick to Google Adsense no matter what.

adsense cheque

Anyway, I plan to use the money subsidize my own petrol usage. With the recent petrol price hike, don’t think I can cope with eating out so often anymore. Any extra money better put aside for savings and emergency use. So, do you earn with Google Adsense? Have you gotten your first Adsense cheque, or are you half way there? All the best earning with Google :)

    haha.. I had been switching adsense on and off.. since I hate the fact that it is PPC.. nobody click = no earnings..

    perhaps collaboration is necessary? *hint hint*

    Why don’t use Western Union payment? It is much faster. :)

    You should be using Western Union option.

    Its faster and no charges. You will save RM25 for the bank charges.

    Anyway, you should be earning much much more if you change your top leaderboard nuffnang ad with a Google ad and the large rectangle nuffnang ad after every post with a large rectangle google ad.

    With your traffic and good blog info, you should be making more than USD100 every month.

    Give it a try - just my 2 cent :)

    vk: Hey you know what? I am going to try your suggestions :) Thanks!

    Hello Vkeong,

    Congrats for your first cheque and may you get more cheques in months to come. Many would not believe you until they see your cheque. Malaysians are slowly getting used to the online world. And also, many are gradually being enlightened that there is a way to make money online after all.

    Best wishes from

    One good advice about depositing foreign cheques would be international banks such as CitiBank. We have compared the rates with some prominent banks and found that all in all, the clearing fees + misc fees is so far the cheapest.
