Google AdSense and MP3 players

Today is a good day – I logged onto my Google AdSense account earlier this morning to discover I had earnings! After I started running the ads on TV Forge, I have so far had two clicks and earned around $0.06. Not exactly loads I know but when you consider that TV Forge only had one hundred page views yesterday it’s not too bad.

Hopefully with more episode guides and news, etc I should be able to wip up more traffic and make real earnings. If the ads do well I may also extend them to Emo Movies and Worfolk News. Although Fallen Nation will be sticking with the good old system of classic graphical ads.

As for what I am going to spend my newfound riches on, I am not really sure. I might be forced to bid on a Dawson’s Creek boxset today as I need one for my media project (yeah, that’s the reason ;). Although I am a long way off, I also fancy a new MP3 player but that is something else to complain about in the next paragraph.

Of course the obvious choice is an iPod. But I can name 6 reasons why it’s not suitable for my needs. One of them being I don’t want it to skip when I am jogging – they can claim it won’t all they want, a hard drive spinning at the speed they do these days is not mean’t to be violently shaken. Also I want to be able to swap around the memory so I want a DS / MMC based one – and I can only find one on Amazon!
