I was curious and wondering what was the letter about. The letter contains a pin for Adsense, which required to further payment process, in another word, I am getting paid soon!

I am so excited because I thought I need at least a year or two to get the very first bill from Google. The result is very encouraging, and it gives me the motivation to produce a better blog, a content blog, to thank you guys who support me.

As you can see from the chart below, I merely achieved USD 0.13 in February, the first month I introduce Adsense to my blog, and I stared at the figure and thought, when on earth will I hit USD 100 and get the cheque? With that progress, I might only get paid in 10 years, what?

I don’t want my blog to look so commercialize and eyesore, so I put the adsense on single pages (permalink pages, where you leave comments) and bottom of mainpage to boost page impression. In the single pages, the ads are betweeen the posts and comments, I hope by doing this people may be tempted to click on them.

Hoping this adsense will generate enough money to pay off my hosting fees (roughly USD 90 per year). Yea, help me by CLICKing on it from time to time.

Thank you. ;)
