Inside AdSense
Google's official blog for news, tips and information on AdSense.
And the winner is...
Wednesday, December 05, 2007
Recently, we launched the
AdSense Story Contest
and asked publishers like you to send in video of your experiences with AdSense. We were thrilled by the enthusiasm and creativity you put into these videos. Although we can only award one winner, we'll be sharing some of our favorite submissions with you over the next few weeks.
And now, the moment you've been waiting for...
Congratulations to Don Vandervort from
Hometips.com
for his winning video submission! Before we show you his video, here's a little bit of background about Don and HomeTips.
Interestingly enough, HomeTips.com started out in a backyard clubhouse. Don converted the bottom floor of his sons' two-story treehouse into a small office, and launched HomeTips from that office in 1997 as an online portfolio to promote his books. In 2003, Don heard about the Google AdSense program and thought it might be helpful in generating revenue for HomeTips.
During the first week, Don remembers that AdSense revenue paid for coffee; in the second week, it paid for lunches. Now, AdSense revenue pays for all salaries, overhead, and business development. "Solid content is the secret to developing a following," says Don. "If you write expert content with your visitor's needs in mind, the rest will follow." We'll let Don tell you more about his site and his story:
You can also read more about Don's story on our
Case Studies page

Thanks again to everyone who participated, and stay tuned for other great AdSense stories in the coming weeks.
