Will Google AdSense make you rich?

As you can see, I've decided to bolt some Google AdSense ads onto my blog. The reason? Believe it or not, I'm not just in it for the money. If my experience of selling Amazon titles on my copywriting books page is anything to go by, I can expect a steady trickle of income over the months. That's "trickle", folks - not "unremitting deluge of cash"

Or to put it another way, the Porsche Cayman will just have to wait.

It's really just there as a test, and it gives me a really quick way of seeing how many impressions my blog pages are getting. (I run a proper analytics package on the main Blackad website - and it's nice to get some reliable stats on the blog too)

Let me know what you think. Do the ads detract from the blog?

The ads are about as far as I'm prepared to push the blog. It's main purpose is a way of venting my spleen, and sharing some interesting information I've picked up along the way.

I sure as hell won't start endorsing weird "become a copywriter in four hours" programmes that you see some other web copywriters enmeshed in. No way.

My programme will turn you into a copywriting genius in just two hours.
