Play the AdSense Game
Aug 18
Joel Comm has released a semi-cool little game that teaches you how to create AdSense sites. It’s called the AdSense Game.
It allows you to go through the steps of choosing an topic, setting up your template, AdSense placement and color optimization and marketing techniques.
Then it runs a simulation to tell you how much money your site made, presumably based on the parameters you chose.
Wait, he must of stolen this game…from my life! Well my past life anyways. And true to real life…each day the earnings go down a little bit. I’m assuming that the purpose of that is to show you that you need to buy Joel’s AdSense book [which I own btw] but in reality it should be a tip off as to the wisdom or lack of wisdom of setting up a business based on AdSense.
After 2 days I had racked up $444.84
Even though it is obviously a marketing tool to sell books, it actually has a decent amount of similarity to the game of creating niche or made for AdSense sites.
Can you beat my score?

This is a great tool for understanding and tweaking Adsense.
