Thanks Ted. You bring up a good point.
In fact, I won't be the only one benefitting from this. True, I stand to make some money...the thing we don't know is how much.
But let's say we all have an Adland Pro friend who is in dire straits and needs emergency cash. Instead of everyone trying to get that person signed up for this MLM and that matrix, or just throwing money at them, wouldn't it be useful to be able to say "if you place an Adsense ad on your ALP webpage, the networking power of this community could generate $X for you in about a week"?
If it turns out that few people respond or that the PPC rate isn't worth the effort, then we'll know that. But so far this summer I've seen at least 3 Adland friends on the verge of life-crushing poverty being foisted upon with programs that take months or years of downline building to get anywhere. This is a reasonable solution, but it's not worth providing as a solution if the results aren't there. Thus, we place the thing out there, and see what results. Then we'll know.
Just so you know, Saturday produced 27 page views, 9 clicks, and $4.15. And I'd be willing to bet it didn't cost anyone a dime, or more than 2 seconds of their time.
33,715 Adland members (because the Adsense publisher can't click their own ads, or risk removal from the program) x an average $0.54 per click would conceivably yield $18,206.10. The question here is will it, and what sort of actual response can a person reasonably expect?
You're certainly under no obligation to participate. The irony is choosing not to participate is part of the overall data anyway...thus you have participated by not clicking. If you feel that this would be "using" you, then that is also useful information for the purposes of the project. So thank you for your contribution.
Best,
SB
