There has been a lot of talk recently about Google and their smart pricing for AdSense, I have been doing a bit of thinking about it. What I was trying to decide is if it was a good thing or a bad thing.

A lot of webmasters are complaining about it, because they have seen a significant drop in their revenue. I’m one of those webmasters, and you might think that I’m mad about it, except I’m not.

Over the last couple of days I have been trying various locations for Chitika eMinimalls on one of my sites.

For this site the ideal location appears to be at the end of the content, which is not normally a hotspot. I’m guessing that people were ignoring chitika above the content because they wanted to read the content and so they skipped the ad.

On the other hand, when Chitika is placed on the bottom of the page they see it after the have read the information and actually look at it, decide it’s interesting and click on it.

About a month ago I picked up an ongoing contract that was paying me $65 an hour for a reasonable number of hours a week but not fulltime.

Last week I rang the owner of the Company I was doing this work for and requested that they find someone else to do the work as I was not going to be able to continue.

I wanted out of that work because I needed more time for my online ventures, it might sound crazy as the amount of money being earned on that contract easily exceeded my website based income.
