So how will I know when Google has listed the Blog?

Yeah, I don't know either 'cause there are NO stats available anywhere in the dashboard that I have found yet. It might be when the Google. ads finally show proper Adwords ads instead of the Public Service ones that are currently running.

I could put some script in the template and track it myself offsite. In fact I think I will do that. I will use Adspy Tracker. I am using this fabulous program on a couple of Adsense pages I have been testing and the results are amazing.

The Adsense page is not doing anything spectacular but the reporting on which ads are being clicked on and which keywords are generating the traffic is superb. This is information that Google. will not supply you.

This lends more weight to my suspicions that Google. are actually actively and deliberately ripping me, you and everyone else off. By delaying the results they deliver they can "adjust" the amount they charge per click vs the amount they pay per click.

This doesn't mean that you cannot make money with Adsense or Adwords but it does mean that you might be being shafted because you are not in their favourite customer list.

Hey, maybe that's why this blog isn't in the search results anywhere. Google. don't like negative opinions. They might be censoring my thoughts.

Time for some tracking and traffic generation from other sources. Lets see what happens.
