Hi Im new to blogging and have only posted a dozen blogs but I wish I had read this article 1st:(.. anyway thanks for this infomation, i have a question which i havent had much luck researching. I have signed up to adsense and i have checked my accounts and i can earn revenue when i get only a few “clicks” but im wondering if its possible to earn some extra cash if i get lots of page impressions as i had 234 page impressions and havent received anything! and i was wondering do i need to have at least a 1000 “impressions” to earn anything?, and how much on average should it be as im really doing blogging for the money, and if this was the case then id add more imput like you mentioned to make sure i get at least a 100 day, as above apologies for my bad grammer but will be getting “word” very soon,, thank you..

Hi, Brenda.

As far as I know - and don’t take my word for it - it’s like this: if you have a normal job and earn a little extra money from blogging, you probably don’t need to declare that.

However, if you begin to earn “real” money, enough to quit your job, and you do so, it may be a good idea to declare it - otherwise, having a Porsche and being “jobless” would look suspicious.

But being married, it may be different (I’m divorced, so I don’t know about that).

My site is not quite a blog, as I write one entry daily and don’t have comments. I’ve been doing it for 3 years and 3 months and have never used ads. I’m one of the very few ex-Americans (can’t help where I was born) writing from Portugal. I’ve lived here 10 years and now that the economy is at its worst, I would like to make a little money with ads, but have never investigated the process.

How does it work in Portugal? Does the money have to be declared? My husband is Portuguese and I’m on his IRS because I don’t work and before I’d do this, I need to know how it works.

Sorry for the sloppy writing. I’m tired. I get up at 2 am and it’s now 17:04.

If you can find the time, please email me with more information about ads in this country.

Thank you very much.

I have already taken lessons on making more money on AdSense and I am making some dollars from all my sites.
My major blogs are going to make record making profits very soon. They are all pilot projects as at present.
One of my blogs will hit the 1,000.000 visitors mark before the first anniversary in June 2006. And visitors will subscribe to qualify to win cars and holidays and other great things. I want to give away a brand new car on the first anniversary of one of my seven blogs. I mean to subscribe with only $50 per annum and qualify to win a new car that is worth $15,000! That’s a good bargain!
