Another Day Another Scam


Adsense is a company that uses your blogs to advertise for others. You will get a few cents each time somebody clicks on the ads that are on your website. So I signed up for it. I let them use my blog to advertise many different things over the years. When you earn one hundred dollars they will pay you. You never make 100 dollars. I only made about 34 dollars in three years. Not a very productive way to make money if you ask me. So I mentioned to a few of my friends that it would be nice if folks would click on my ads. Now I began to make a few cents every few days and had earned $55.00 and I was happy about it. That happiness didn't last long. One day Adsense took their ads off of my blog and said it appeared that I was doing something illegal and I was no longer a customer. I don't remember the exact words, but it was words to that effect. What about the 34 dollars I had made before I became so illegal. I gave them free advertising space for three years or more. They can cheat us, but if we cheat them back.
Oh Well, Merry Christmas to them too.

They will get a lump of coal in their stocking I am sure.

Karma! That will get them in the end.

Your space is so much prettier without them, their loss.

Thank you and I think so too.

Along the same lines, do you have any thoughts on charities accepting your donation then selling your name and address to their buddies? My mailbox is filled to the brim with requests for money from people I've never heard of (I'll just go shake the tree) right now. I'm thinking of moving.
