AdSense placement advice, or: I’m an idiot

For my fellow bloggers only:

Last week I got my first Google AdSense check. After nine years of blogging.

Yeah, that’s really sad. But I finally started making real money with AdSense because I — wait for it — took Google’s own advice about where to place ads, and which sizes worked best. You’ve probably noticed the change if you’re a regular visitor.

I talk about it here.

Yeah, my long term mistakes are embarrassing, but the money makes up for it. I just hate to think how much cash I “left on the table” over the last nine years…
