Thread: Senior Citizens Make $$$ With Adsense

Take Jerrold Foutz. The former Boeing engineer, 75, started a website a few years ago devoted to one of his passions — switching mode power supplies, which help drive, for instance, the inside of video cameras.

He put Google ads on his smpstech.com site four years ago. After just one month, the first Google check was for $800. The second check totaled $2,000.

"I thought, 'Wow,' " he said. "This was the most amazing thing that ever happened to me. Something I thought would make $50 a year now equals my Boeing retirement check."

That comes out to around $25,000 yearly.

You're banned from it, aren't you and that's why you don't use it?

Thanks to DP, last year.

But when I read about what people make now on adcents, and what I make on affiliate sales, I fail to see why people stick with them.

It's good because some sites don't have a good affiliate program to work with

There's hope for my old boring websites after all

I think that everything is not so easy - maybe those who make $$$ with the help of Adsense, know some secrets of success?
