7 Years with Commision Junction and 4 Years with Adsense
The journey start on early 2000, when program like SPEDIA, ePILOT and AllAdvantage very popular. The three programs above offer free dollar for surfing or join the advertisers. I have made about $21 with SPEDIA but they never send me the money. Now days in 2007, co-founder AllAdvantage has been launched new program named AGLOCO (nofollow link), so far I’m not interesting with this program, when John Chow have thousands of refferal downline neither me, I’ll not join or sign up for this program, I’ve learned from the past years they never pay me.
Continue on the end of 2000. I forgot the exact date/month, I’ve joined with Commision Junction (CJ), one of the CPA Network after Linkshare most popular on that year.
Day by day, month by moth, I’ve developing many of affiliate sites to promoting the merchants products from CJ. If you want see my first site that earn money from CJ visit http://hotfree.8m.com it had make $105. I used free hosting and cutome the pages with Frontpage, the graphics with Corel 8 and the header with old Macromedia Flash program.

In July 2001, I got my check for the first time, that mean almost more than 6 months I’ve spend my time to promote my site on popular search engine and learn basic SEO (Search Engine Optimization) to get traffic of my site. Back to April 2001, I got a job on Internet Cafe as Administrator, during 8 months I just focus on my job and never maintenance my site again. On October 2001, I’ve resigned and back focus on my study as college student. Almost a year I have become bad student with bad college grades
In May 2002, I’ve owe IDR 250.000 to my Mother, to buy a domain and hosting for a year. After 6 months I got the second check (see the thumbnail my check report), until this time in 2007, every month CJ always pay my commision
4 Years with Google Adsense
Few weeks after Google announced Adsense in middle of 2003, I joined the program and placing the ads on all my affiliate site. The result only need a month I got payment from Adsense, my first ads impression appear on the report on September 30 2003 (see the thumbnail) and on October 2003 my commision showed $108

Adsense still the best Pay Per Click (PPC) Program ever. I have joined another PPC program but no one of them satisfied me. On last August 2007, my Adsense earning report showed $4,429 for commision. I’ve never dream become a rich, as long we play on the right rule, you also can get the right profit too.

holy crap! $4,429!!?? from adsense alone?
i knew program in 2000 and had been part of it since. Unfortunately, i quit about 2 months after i got acquainted with it. i didn’t realize the potential of such program and i was such impatient. i thought those who with PPC program would end up being losers or its kind.
i should have been rich if i didn’t quit. Now im enjoying my pathetic salary as an employee. what a loss!!
Wait a minute! $4,429 from adsense? Doesn’t make any sense to me if you only relied on 3 websites! this has been a big question since.
Look, you hold only 3 websites as far as i can find. This blog and those Battery & MLB. I don’t see many adsense ads on those 3. How could you make such a big bucks? You must be hiding several others adsense websites from us. I need immediate explanatory reply from you. thanks.
I have site not affiliate provide free download reasource with 10.000 unique visitor/day and get almost 2000 clicks/day
what’s the url? thanks
Oh.. you can mail the url to me if you don’t like people knowing it. thanks.
good starting and very good on the midwalking. but i dont see your http://hotfree.8m.com sell any from CJ. i mean how you receive payment if you don’t sell from it?
I got commission for leads… ex:people just signup or register for free email, free offer
Dude, you haven’t replied to my post #14 #15. Why are you so secretive? Afraid of somebody will pick your idea up and use it on his/her project?
If you just want to keep it for yourself, fine. I will ask nomore. But, at least, you should let your readers know that you don’t what to share it. Don’t leave your readers on their curiosity. They need answer from you. Eventhough, your answer is not what they expect your answer would be.
Thanks.
@iwan
trust me dude he’s telling the truth…
i already see it with my own eyes
may be you should come up with your own idea
@iwan
the key is unique idea

I cannot imagine how much it will cost to send mail or fax overseas ?

Jadi ngiri….
Sebelumnya maaf buat pogung177.com. Saya tidak yakin dengan angka $4,429 dari google adsense (ini hasil sebulan atau anda memakai payment holding). Alasan: Traffic rank (dari alexa.com) pogung177.com tidak menggambarkan jumlah visitor untuk mencapai angka tersebut!
Ur responds are welcome!
to #28 bukan e sok bantu jawab tapi kayaknya website ini bukan sumber pengeruk kekayaan e Bang Pogung deh… Adsense e ndi ?
Make A HOME RUN MAN !
orang yang berkecimpung di “dunia ini” jarang-jarang ngiklan di website pribadi om… buat om pogung177 sori melangkahi
