Is Google Stealing Money from Web Site Owners and Cheating AdWords Clients?

I’ve had my own websites for quite a few years now and I’ve always had AdSense Ads on most of my sites to earn a bit of income on the side.

I’ve never earned very much money from the AdSense ads, but the odd hundred dollar payments are nice.

Most of my online income comes from my own eBooks and from affiliate products that I recommend. So AdSense has always been very much a sideline for extra income. I use it because it’s simple to use. I just place a few ads on my web page templates and then let them do their own thing. It was a really easy “set it and forget it” system.

And it worked really well until recently when I started noticing money being taken from my AdSense account. Not only that but the number of clicks kept disappearing too.

So I started to wonder if Google is not only stealing from website owners, but cheating their Adwords clients too.

Never Pay For Shipping On Books Again

Because we're writers, we love reading books.

The problem though, is that if you want to own a print book, you usually have to pay for shipping if you order it online, whether it's international shipping or national shipping.

But did you know that there is a company (and it's owned by Amazon) that does free shipping on any book to any country on the planet?

I recently discovered it and it's a great website with millions of books in stock and ready to ship for free.

Sometimes the cost of shipping can almost be the same as the book itself. So being able to order books online without paying any more money to get them delivered is great.

How To Get Great Ideas Then Find Even More

I love getting great ideas for writing. I love it when I suddenly get a brilliant thought that will make a great article, ebook or story.

Whenever I do, I grab my ideas book and write down what I’m thinking, and I usually find that once I start putting my idea down on paper, even more ideas start exploding into life inside my crazy, monkey mind.

Don’t you just love it when ideas are born this way?

But how can you get them more often?

How to Be a More Productive Writer

People often think that there is some big secret to writing more and being a more productive writer.

But the real secret, is that there is no secret.

All it takes is for you to be able to sit down and write and not let yourself become distracted.

You need to cultivate zen-like focus on what you're writing instead of trying to write while you're thinking about picking the kids up from school later or worrying that you haven't made your latest car payment.

If you read online about successful and prolific writers, the one underlying trait they all share is that they have incredible focus.

And it's not just focus on what they're writing.
