I got a copy of the earnings I made last year, the original went to the IRS, a copy to me. The taxman knows everything. Why do you think you filled out that W-9 for? Big Brother is watching.

Hey Ryan!
Have a look at this and let me know what you think.
http://www.seoelite.com/Lessons/VRESitesBlueprint.htm
We'll make our fortune together. You click on my ads and I'll click on yours. 
I've been working on some terms that have AU$8 to AU$10 bids. I think that must be just about as good as it gets except for the rare exception. Having trouble finding free articles that exactly match my term. Obviously, unique content would be better.
I'd like to hear from Northie again, on this.
Here's the URL for what I've got, so far. A bit rough still. http://www.southimage.net/bluepolytarp/index.html EDIT: This is the new URL.
Hey! Good to see Beatledave about again.
The other day the fellow from our local radio station phoned. He asked what band did Ringo Star play in. Well, I imediately had a vision of our mate, Beatledave and told him "The Beatles." He said "Congratulations, you've won a $50 petrol voucher."
Regards,
Laurie.

Whats a W-9?
I've never filled in one of those (UK resident - it's up to me to declare all my earnings at the end of the financial year)

What season are you watching? ive finished season 8... brilliant stuff
Crumbs, i dont know how the SA tax man will react to it? i know i only get taxed on my income if i earn over a certain amount.... so perhaps if i keep my google money below a certain amount i can dodge the tax man
Laurie... when im up and running i will be more than happy to return clicks
I can think of five different internet cafe's already.... different IP's make for many click pennies

That's what I tried to do. It's $500 here in the US. I didn't keep my books in order, or I got a little greedy. I took the ads down last year and put them up this Jan. I made $200 easily and took most the ads back down. I don't mind paying taxes, but being on disability I just can't go over that $500 mark. It's really weird to run a site so that it doesn't make as much money as it can. I hope my situation is different in a year or so.
The W-9 is for the USA. But I'm sure it's considered taxable income everywhere else, after you earn a certain amount.

I get £5035 tax free, then 10% on the next £1000, then 22% upto £40000 then 40% on anything above that
top-gear - not sure which season it is, has just started. It's the first series after RHs 288mph crash. The other night they were doing a road trip from Miami to New-Orleans in American muscle cars bought for under $1000. At the risk of being flamed - those Alabamas didn't paint a good picture of themselves [or was it just the editing?]

you're not allowed to put other ppc ads on your site . . .
Actually I thought it was no other context based PPC adverts on the same page, and that your free to have other content based PPC adverts on other pages in the same site.
Never heard that one about a limit of 2 commission-based adverts

Per page i can see an issue with mixing ads but i do think different ppc add "suppliers" can appear on different pages. Im not sure why you would want to do that though. You will essentially fill the risk of people thinking your site is suspect

Why do you suppose they won't allow the google ads to open in a new window?

possibly because "their" pop up blockers tend to block anything that opens in a new window... thus blocking their own ads... wouldn't that be the funniest fumble ever

I bet you're right, but pop up blockers don't keep me from opening a website in a new window. Weird man. And about the above - Looks like you can now run other PPC ads with Google AdSense. That truly is news to me.
I swear Yahoo ppc ads are in eternal beta. What a goof that is. Come on dudes, open the damn door.

I think yahoo runs on much the same system as motorola, as soon as they see something new they jump on and make it. It doesnt work to well because they produce it before it is properly tested. So the beta issue may just be them having it but not perfecting it.
