So.. it seems there is no real ’science’ to the process. Yet many marketers would have you believe that there are plenty of ‘ must do’ or ‘must have’ tricks. Testing, testing, and more testing seems to be the only real key to success, aside from following a very basic set of rules..

Different blogs, different topics, different visitors, different placements.

Yes, I received mine also, in German. Most of the things he wanted to tell me he admitted, I was already using. But I had a great lough out of it, because he told me that I should use one ad more to the top to be above the fold, because nothing was above the fold.

Which left me quite puzzled until I looked at it – he fall for my “2 day curtesy period”, because I display adds on my private blog only when the entry is more than 2 days *gg*

And yes, even though most of it was autotext, it was put together very neatly and with personal feedback; and it was clear that they had at least a look at two of my sites.

Darren,

You have a fair few different topics covered on your blogs – could the differences in performance of AdSense partly be down to the types of visitors that you get to each site – I’m suspecting that most progblogger visitors are seasoned web users and may react differently to ads to those at your Paris hilton watch, for example.
