		<description>Tyler, keep with it and try not to pay attention to the Adsense earnings and let that discourage you.  I&#039;m in a similar boat as I have only earned about $20 in the months I have been running Adsense but I am trying to keep up with the quality content.

If you can build up traffic, I think the clicks will come.  But it can be a bummer to work hard on your site and content without getting any clicks when you see these made-for-adsense sites with no content and they are racking up the clicks like crazy.</description>

		<description>Hey thanks for the comments.

Work wouldnt be all that much fun to blog about. Perhaps ones day it could be.

I try to remember to ping Technorati when I finish a post, I at least remember to update my feed. I&#039;ll have to look into seeing how to ping Technorati via a script or such.

I will be looking into more techy type things this weekend as well as a bit of digital photography.

I&#039;ve tried to sign up for Text Ad Links but my PR was not high enough. I have AdBrite ads, but they don&#039;t seem to be set up quite right yet.

I try to keep an ear open to recent events. That does seem to be decent traffic. Just so many things I could blog about really. I&#039;ll have to choose a major one and stick with it. Perhaps blogging about the other things here and there.</description>

		<description>This wasn&#039;t too bad of a post - but for AdSense to display relevant ads it might be a good idea to stick to one subject per post.

Then to get ideas on what to post about... if your niche is tech then you should frequently watch the news and other blogs to look for tech news that you can blog about - Blogging about something that recently happened can bring you some nice traffic.

Does your custom blog system ping Technorati and other services? If not then you should do it manually after each post.

Also, I would definitely try adding revenue sources. Like John Chow says - you shouldn&#039;t put all your eggs in the AdSense basket :) Try affiliate programs, selling text link ads, etc...</description>

		<description>I usually blog about my day at school, work, or whatever else is going on with me. Perhaps you could post about what you did that day at work, or one of your hobbies.

I need to work on my blog a bit too, I&#039;m running Wordpress, and I need to apply the security update, as well as apply a new theme.</description>
