Adsense, No sense or Nonsense???

Well Google's Adsense is indeed wonderful, it has bred a class of bloggers who are hell bent upon making fast bucks, the Google way. Hence, I see my friends coming up with 'controversial' blogs, so to say. A friend suggested this to me, put up something 'controversial' in your blog, you can make a hell lot of money. Controversial eh?? These are the most controversial things I can stumble upon (and I'm sure these don't merit ad clicks or even ads)

• Man jumps from 20 storeyed building, unhurt ( How the heck do you know he was jumping in his bathroom??)
• The English Professor scored 800 in Quants and 210 in Verbal when he made an extra bold attempt to write GRE
• Richard Feynman's application rejected by ASU, Fulton on grounds of lack of independent thoughts.

But, I still cant figure out which 'SANE' person in his right mind, especially an Indian would click on ads supplied by Google?? I don't, you don't and I know many others who don't. My friend says he made 8 cents with 10 clicks and Google would pay you after you earn100$ through a check. Now my calculation tells me, it would require 12500 hits to make that amount. In the scenario where not even 250 guys ( a substantial amount- my own views) have read my blog since its existence, I might as well keep it as my retirement fund, where I'm presented with this cheque of 100$ on my last working day, 40 years hence.

But this gaawy [pronounced gaaaaaaawiy, with Atkinson's emotions of surprise and awe] hinted on their 'modus operandi' to make money, skim through articles, if you like one of them, click on an Ad to show your appreciation. Now isn't that wonderful! But there is a drawback to this, the world is full of sadists like me who'll never ever (trust me NEVER EVER) click on an ad!

Anyway, all ye bloggers, Happy Earning, I have visions of you all stashing dollars in your cupboards!
