Tips & Warnings

• I write for Xomba which gives me half the AdSense revenue my articles generate. It is a good way to get started with Adsense as Xomba does all the hard part and all I do is write articles and collect my money. If you want to write for Xomba click here: http://www.xomba.com/referral/77779e87 to join and send me a message and I will help you with the AdSense part and with any other help you need. If you sign up through that link, Xomba will pay me to help you.
• AdSense only gives you 200 channels to track, so use them wisely.
