Adsense.

Adsense is dumb.
My mp3 player broke, so I put adds on the site to pay for the replacement. I heard great things about adsense, but so far I'm not convinced. I had 266 views on the adds and 46 clicks. I though hey I should be getting some money! I thought I'd have around 2 dollars. No, I got the whopping sum of $0.64 . Hmmm, 2 quarters a dime and four pennies. Now that I'm so wealthy I decided to get my small fortune sent to me. Uh oh. I need to have at least $100.00 dollars in my adsense account before they will send it to me. Let's see when I can get 100 dollars.

I had adsense for 12 days. $0.64/12 day = .0533333333

So basically every day, I make about a nickel and every third day I make a nickel and a penny. (So far I'm better off looking under seat cushions, parking lots, and resturaunt booths.) However, I only need $100.00 before they send me anything. How long will that take me?
100/.0533333 = 1875 (rounded down) About 1875 days Let's see how many years that is. 1875/365 = 5.1 years (rounded down) In five years they'll actually send me a check. The mp3 player I was looking at had a cost of about $300.00.
5.1*3 = 15.3 15.3 years until I can get my mp3 player. Thanks google adsense you are real helpful! By that time we'll have mp3 players implanted in our frontal lobes. Looks like I'm better off doing anything but google adds to get my mp3 player. I'll probably never get my hand on those sweet sweet 64 cents.
