54% of all Google Adsense Publishers admit an addiction to their click income.
A recent online study conducted by a small group of Google Publishers found that 54% of all Adsense Publishers where addicted to the income potential of Google’s Pay Per Click system. “Some publishers need therapy” the survey providers said. It was also found that some publishers were so addicted they where checking their Adsense statistics up to 50 times per day.
Google Adsense is a system where individuals who own content rich website’s can earn money by placing small targeted ads within the content of their website. The ads can be customised to fit within the scheme of the website and some successful publishers have been earning in excess of $200,000au per month.
One publisher stated that her addiction started the day she placed the Adsense code into her first website. “I was introduced to Google Adsense by my boyfriend, who makes around a $1000 a month”. She went on to say that she doesn’t blame Google for her addiction, but the fever in which forums and blogs promote the fact that anyone can become rich with this scheme inspired her to keep adding pages and checking her stats regularly.
Kate, did state that she was earning a reasonable dollars from Google Adsense, but told us she also spent a considerable amount of money on scripts, ebooks and Gurus promises claiming they had made their fortunes and where willing to share their secrets if you deposited $97 into their PayPal account.
