Reading up on Google’s terms and conditions will help you earn more in the long run, even if you’re a bit behind on your goal now. Good luck!

PS- I have a sugar addiction, too. I use the Crystal Lite packs in my water instead of soda on most days, though I do occasionally slip.

Keep plugging away. The road to riches are paved with challenge. You have much to be grateful for. By the way, as far as your “coke” addiction goes… enjoy it. Just have something raw and high fiber content first. Seriously. Don’t put anything in your mouth until you’ve had a fruit or a vegetable FIRST. Have that around.
Or we can get you a syringe and we’ll inject the coke DIRECTLY into your veins.

There will always be competitors and challenges out there in any business. I have always believed there is plenty of “honest” business out there in the universe. If they are turning in your pages then their not being honest and will get theirs soon enough. You will think of something new and “Keep Moving Forward”. I really appreciate your blog and all of your new ideas! It’s always one I read first! Thanks Paul!

That make sense. Best of luck Paul.

What I meant above was that maybe focusing on having income goals isn’t the right strategy to go about making money.

@Yang: I do create value for both the advertiser that’s trying to sell a product, the affiliate network that’s hosting the offer and the consumer who’s looking for a solution to a problem.

My challenge was that I wasn’t fully understanding Google’s algorithms and rules of what they consider a “Quality User Experience”. It’s not value for the user I wasn’t creating, because if that was the case then the user simply wouldn’t purchase through my websites…it was simply not following Google’s automated system’s guidelines.

It’s kind of like opening up an amazing ice cream store that provides value for everyone involved, and then having a sign up front on the sidewalk and the city fining you $100 because on the particular stretch of road you opened your store on, signs on sidewalks are not allowed due to public safety reasons.

@Chat Business: Nice, best of luck to you! The first $1k is the hardest, but once you do that it gets easier from there.

When you’re too focused on the making money aspect – maybe you’re pushing it away from you. Focus on creating value and the money will come naturally.
