Back On The Lab with Leo Laporte

written by John Chow on July 11th, 2007

My first interview with Leo Lab Laporte went so well, the show has invited me back for another interview. This time I’ll be discussing Google AdSense. We’ll be talking about what AdSense is and how you can make money with it.

I’m making this post before we start taping because there’s an off chance that this post might show up on the big TV screen. If that’s the case, I’ll be scrolling down to the comment section and giving you all a chance to have you comments show up on Leo’s show.

So, if you want to say hi to Leo and all the viewers of The Lab, now is your chance. We’ll be taping in about two hours. Let’s see how many messages John Chow dot Com readers can send Leo before we go on air.

One of the first to comment, sweet! Good luck John! Share your adsense knowledge the way you share it with us! :)

Hey SuperStar! John, I hope he has read your FREE! Make Money Online with John Chow dot Com E Book. Last time he didn’t seem to know all of your evil skills. For instance he wasn’t aware that you have a way for little blogs to gain revenue from Kontera.

Will you be giving out John Chow dot Com t-shirts and mugs to the studio audience? It would be great if those were available to your online audence as well. :twisted:

Didn’t I see that John made $800 last month with Adsense (out of a total $12,500)? He’s making a bucket of money with all the other features on his site. Why talk about the bottom 6.5% of your income stream?

A Grandiose Blog said on July 11th, 2007 at 10:53 am

Hi John, prob missed the show but i just wanted to add my 2 cents.

I think Google adsense is somewhat overrated, and i think they have a poor payout amount compared to programs like text link ads or commission junction. I used to rely on google ads heavily but removed them because they would keep showing things that had nothing to do with my site content or would be ads for the competition. I now use targeted ads which work much better.

WesleyTech.com said on July 11th, 2007 at 12:43 pm

Google Ads are highly targetted and contextual based. As far as them showing ‘ads for the competition’, that is what the Google Adsense competitive ad filter is for!! You need to learn how to use Google Adsense before bashing it. :wink:

When John did the first interview, he wasn’t penalized by Google yet. It would definitely be interesting to see how this second one goes now things have, well, changed a little.

AdSense should not be a goal when designing your site. You do not write content for AdSense.

Also NEVER click your own ads!

Leo seemed pretty amazed at John’s blog stories and revenue — like he couldn’t believe blogging can be so lucrative. I’m sure The Lab and it’s viewers could still learn a thing or two about Adsense (that they don’t already know about).

Hi Leo
This is Simon. In my blog, I talk about Google AdSenese too but too bad it’s in Chinese. Anyway, JohnChow is the master of Google AdSense and other ads networks. Just ask him, he will tell you how to make money online. I learned a lot form him and some of his techniques work in Chinese blog too. :grin:
