Well, it seems as if the success story behind PlentyOfFish keeps growing. You basically have a very ugly site that I don’t see how any one even thinks of going to, wel except that its a free dating site which is almost unheard of on the Internet. Looks like a lot of people are stil interested. In Markus’s blog he states that its giving the like of Yahoo Personals a run for the money.

Markus shocked the world last summer when he made statements on several internet forums on how PlentyOfFish earns over $10K every day with just Google Adsense. There was a lot of debate on whether it was a true statement or not, but from looking at Google’s earnings in the PPC market, I suppose its feasible. Way to go Markus, keep up the good work, but please upgrade the graphics on the site, you should have the money to pay to have it done by now.

 

A lot of people have been placing images next to Google adsense ads the past few months. I’ve seen a lot of videos and eBooks that even recommend this practice. I for one always thought it was probably against the TOS even though Google had never actually said anything. Well they spoke out today at http://adsense.blogspot.com/ and gave specific examples of how this was not an approved practice.

If you are one of the people who have been doing this you may want to take action and make some changes. I wonder what all these people are going to do that have thousands of sites out there built just for Adsense. Even if they have the code in one file, it is still going to take a while to update all those sites to comply. Better to spend the time than to lose your account.

I saw a message posted on a forum the other day stating that females tend to click Adsense ads more than males. I’m not totally positive if this is accurate, but I have seen some evidence which lend validity to the claim.

My day job entails me spending a lot of time interacting with other employees and it just so happens that the place I work has a 4 to 1 ratio of female employees to male. As someone who is naturally curious about people Adsense clicking habits, I’ve been watching people as they navigate different websites and search engine results while we were in their offices. My observations have produced a consistent theme in this area. The females do tend to click the ads more often than males. I also notice there seems to be a correlation between the social status of the individual and whether they click ads or not. Higher positions( once who earn more money and are usually less web savvy) tend to click ads more than lower position workers. This is true across both genders.
