As I searched the blogger design section today to find interesting gadgets to place on my wall, I came across an intriguing little function called AdSense. After further research, I concluded AdSense is system, created by Google, which allows bloggers and other website developers to post advertisements on their sites and watch their wallets grow. So this blog is actually more of a question to Ms. Serensky than anything: will points be taken off the blog if we conduct a business venture while extending our AP English knowledge? I know what many of you may be saying, how much money could you possibly make off this? To answer, after a short investigation on the web I found that anywhere from two cents to fifteen dollars can be made per click. Ok, so let’s just take the worst possible scenario and say we make two cents per click. This would figure out to be around 10 dollars for Thomas Donley who has a blog that’s been viewed about 500 times. Which strays me a little off topic when I say how is this possible? My blog has not yet reached the 200 hit mark and Kreger’s fascinating yet controversial posts hover near 325 hits. My only conclusion is that Thomas, himself, has viewed his blog over 200 times alone (which I hope creates a Dear Journal moment in the near future). However, if we retrace back to my money-making ploy, I would just like to say at this point in high school any money is welcome, especially money that comes from an, already obligatory, blog post. So I pose the question once more, would this be an action that is frowned upon in the esteemed ranks of AP English?
