A day ago our total advertising revenue through Google Adsense finally broke $100.

This isn’t particularly spectacular. It took us months to get there. $12/month isn’t doing very well on any scale. But our ad revenues have been picking up, particularly for Epic Mount, and I haven’t released my current project yet. I expect we’ll be seeing quite a bit more advertising revenue in a couple of months. And we currently make much more than this from Amazon’s Amazon’s affiliate program.

Aside from exceeding the $100 threshold, Google will now start paying us. They hold back payments until you break $100. So next month we’ll get our first deposit from Google, and the dollars… or at least cents… will them keep rolling on in every month.

People don’t mention this $100 threshold much when they talk about Google Adsense… I do wonder how much money Google has collected from small Adsense-enabled web sites which haven’t really gone anywhere and haven’t ended up breaking the $100 barrier. It doesn’t seem like much but if you multiply it by enough sites it could be a significant amount of money.
