You're not kidding!!

I'm working on that.  I'm constantly checking the ads and filtering out URLs, and it's getting better each day... but you're only allowed to filter 200 URLs so it's starting to worry me.

I'm getting rid of everything negative, even "get rid of gophers" and "exterminate rats" -- so eventually those may have to be allowed in so I can get rid of the truly inappropriate stuff, like the BZILLIONS of "dating for animal-loving singles" and "exotic animals for trophies" (YUCK!).

> This one leads to a page about squirrels -- just to let you know.

Oh what an idiot -- I forgot to change the link... thanx!!

I hope so.  I know diddly about this stuff, so I'm counting on the internet to make me look edumickated :-)

Yes again -- thanks for reminding me about the National Zoo.  I'm working on links to San Diego Zoo because I'm trying to target some high-paying Google clicks, but I had forgotten about the National Zoo.

ABOUT GOOGLE ADSENSE:

I don't know when I've had so much fun.  I'm learning by trial and error, but learning I am.  My clicks were averaging 6 cents apiece, so I started hunting down higher-paying clicks and targeting them, and it's actually working (OH RAPTURE!)... today they're averaging 21 cents apiece.

The frustrating part is that I'm still earning PEANUTS (or less).  I was reading the other day where some people were claiming they made $1,000 to $2,000 per DAY with traffic 4,000 unique visitors per day...

Well they must be targeting something like Caribbean Cruises, because I'm makin' five bucks a day with traffic of 5,000+

Keep on tweakin' (or is it truckin'?)....

Thanks again for your ideas!

Luv,

MaaMaw

NOTICE TO SCUMBEEZLES
(you know who you are... you scream "Foul!" when the truth comes out)
        PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT.  It has been done before, but never successfully.  In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
        If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace.
        NEWS FLASH:  I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday.  I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish.  I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?).  I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" 
        Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures.
        Although we may, from time to time, monitor or review discussions, postings and the like on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, we are under no obligation to do so.  We are not responsible or liable for any claim arising from the content of any such discussions or postings or for any error, defamation, libel, slander, omission, falsehood, obscenity, pornography, profanity, danger, or inaccuracy contained in any information contained within such locations on the Site.
        You are prohibited from posting or transmitting any unlawful, threatening, libelous, defamatory, obscene, scandalous, inflammatory, pornographic, or profane materials or any material that could constitute or encourage conduct that would be considered a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, or otherwise violate any law.  You are likewise prohibited from posting any false claims against any company or individual.  We will fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity of anyone posting any such information or materials.
        By posting messages and/or content on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, you give permission for Lesley Fountain/Friends In Business/Shoestring Success Publications to display, distribute and use the posting and content for publication, advertising, promotion, excerption or example. You grant Lesley Fountain/Friends In Business/Shoestring Success Publications complete, perpetual, but non-exclusive rights to use, archive, reproduce, adapt, modify, distribute, sub-license, repurpose, rework, compile, or offer for sale or resale the messages, postings or content appearing on this site in whole or in part, throughout the world and universe, on a royalty-free basis without remuneration.  If you cannot accept or agree with the terms of service for this website and discussion board, you are advised not to post on this board.
        In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact.
        And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!).
