I finally got my first payment from Google once I realized I needed to put my tax information in the system before they would pay me. As soon as I did that, I got an automatic deposit from Google the next day or so. Everyone should be using AdSense ads in their blog. Yes, it’s advertising, but the ads are pretty flexible in how they can be used. You can change the type of ad, the appearance, and where the ads will show up on your site. It’s a good way to defray the costs of running a website and you might even make a little additional unexpected income. Create an AdSense account and mess around with it. You might be surprised at the result. The ads are pretty simple to incorporate. Just read the instructions.
