what the hell is wrong with .gq?
You can get .gq domains for free, so they're considered 'spammy' or 'low-rent' districts of the 'net.
I didn't realize the penalty was so strong, or I'd have just started with a different (paid) domain name.
However, the domain name I used on .gq was a paid domain name. I could have had it for free, but it's paid for. In fact, I paid more for the .gq domain name then I paid for the .us domain name.
Either way, I've got AdSense on my site - finally. It was approved the first time I applied. I actually have LESS content than I had on the .gq domain, 'cause I'm moving it over slowly, an article at a time.
Google says they're all about the content. The content and the experience (and links) are what they SAY is the most important.
Bullshit.
I had more content, a greater experience, and more links to the .gq domain.
All that adsense money should start rolling in any day now!
LOL It won't even cover the cost of hosting.
We had ads on MFU for a long time. There were also ads on PG. It was the same account. Google forbids me from disclosing the amount of money made.
Fuck 'em...
In like 18 months, the grand total was less than $45.
