Earning a Living on AdSense Commissions …

… is not something I’ll be doing any time soon, or ever. But it can be done. Want to know how?
So far I’ve only written about really annoying ways some people try to make money using AdSense, but there are of course people (”publishers” in the jargon of the industry) who are doing quite well with sites that are 100% legitimate.
Today, while putting in some serious SE-elbOw grease at work, I bumped into a guy whom some might call a minor celebrity in the blogging world — not only for being one of those people who actually earns a substantial AdSense income, but also for making it look so easy.
“Look” being the operative word. Jon Gales is sometimes described as a kid who makes really good money just hanging out on his parents’ couch while the AdSense revenue pours in. There’s more to it than that.
Jon was kind enough to agree to an interview for this little blog — sometime in the next couple of weeks, when I come up with some interesting questions that haven’t been asked before. If you’d like insights into how he does what he does, or have any other question, post a comment here or use the feedback form.
p.s. Keep in mind that AdSense TOS preclude him from discussing click-throughs and other performance metrics.
