> For those blessed with sufficient patience to have followed this thread all the way through from the beginning, you may have spotted my utter disgust at the behaviour of Google - who lure you into having their adverts on your page (whilst they collect money from the advertisers that put them there), only to pull the plug when the funds you're owed go above a certain level. This they do with no recourse and no explanation.
>
> Well, look around you. Do you remember a time when this 'Massive And Passive' website of Ajay's had Google ads all over it? Well it looks like the same thing has happened to him! So yes, it could happen to anyone, even an experienced pro such as Ajay.
>
> The trouble seems to happen when your friends and family visit your website. "Ah" they think, "I know he gets paid for every click on those adverts - I'll earn him some money and click ALL of them!" Yeah, some help. Thanks mate.
>
> That's happened to me on one occasion - it's also happened on others when I 'tested' Google with other sites that my friends and family knew nothing about. My advice - forget Google. Carry on without them.
>
> My new website (http://ww.gamblingstrategies.co.cc) is now online - done without the help of Website Wizard this time! It represents my first attempt at writing 'proper' XHTML and CSS code - which happens to have resulted in such a basic website, the pros amongst you will probably go over there and snigger.

> > I've got another website on the go this time, as well as http://www.buytolettoolkit.com - this time I have another one running in parallel, http://wwwgamblingstrategies.co.cc which is another one filled with Affiliate ads, and some content of my own.
> >
> > What's different this time? Well I won't be using Google Adwords, that's for sure. I'm also disinclined to use Adsense, as it seems to be that Google can just pull the plug (and owe you a load of money) without any comeback whatsoever.
> >
> > More importantly, I'm not filling Website Wizard's pockets. In fact I'm not filling anyone's pockets at all, as the URL and the web hosting is completely free! I'm doing all the web pages myself - I'm in the process of learning all that XHTML and CSS stuff - they aren't exactly going to be award-winning or ground-breaking designs, but that isn't what the site's for. It's there to make me a few quid.
> >
> > So far - and I know I'm setting myself up for some flack here - writing your own web pages in XHTML doesn't seem to be any more complex than writing a document in Word, with different paragraph and heading styles. Like anything else, I suppose it's as easy or as hard as you want to make it...

> > So http://www.gamblingstrategies.co.cc is still under construction right now - there's only the one page at the moment, as a statement of intent to the Affiliate Programmes I've asked to join.
