I have removed the Google AdSense bar to the right of my posts as it is the biggest bunch-a-crap, sham of a rip-off.
As I posted earlier, this site's traffic ballooned recently, bringing over 10,000 page impressions to potential Google customers. When I went to check on the AdSense report, I saw that I generated nearly $.13 in revenue! I wasn't expecting to make any substansial earnings with this banner, but it was when I saw the 'Your payments are currently on hold' comment, I wondered why that was.
Oh, it was because Google needs my social security number, address, phone number and whatever other information I would provide for a W2. Interesting. So Google is collecting a boatload of information, making money off of ads on my site, and getting it all for $.13? Whatta gyp! See ya later AdSense.

Hey, don't knock that .13c when times are tough.
A bird in the hand, my friend.
I think giving the gov't all our info is fun-a-rrific.
$.13 -- and after taxes you'd clear...what? Six, seven cents? You did the right thing Neal, hell, that google check would have put you in a brand new, higher tax bracket!!!
Take care my friend, keep writing!
