Three cents for a click is a steal!

Right now I have 103 clicks since my last Google adsense payment, which will pay me $74.44. That's an average of $0.73 per click. Some clicks pay me over a dollar. Google must be taking a cut for this, advertisers are paying even more.

I started a Google adwords campaign for a company a few years ago, and thought I'd have no problem finding some keywords where I could get a trickle of customers at $0.10. No dice. I had to move to a dollar or two a click before I could even spend my advertising budget.

There's been a tent city moving around the outskirts of Seattle for 6 or 8 months, calling itself Nickelsville (in honor of Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels). It just recently moved to West Seattle: http://westseattleblog.com/blog/?p=17881
