My First Adsense Check!

I was reading on another blog about someone who was talking about how it was when they got their first Adsense check and it made me think about the first time I got my first Adsense check. So here's my story about my first Adsense check.

I was so excited when I first joined Adsense. I was a little skeptical at first but the thing that finally made me decide to join Google's Adsense was because Google was behind it. I mean you get kind of nervous and wary when a website asks for certain information but the fact that it was Google made me go ahead with the decision to join Adsense. Well after I got over that nervous hurdle I had to make sure that my (first) blog was approved by them. (I was nervous about that too!) Well after I received approval the time came to get and add the codes which I did but it wasn't an easy process - probably because I was nervous! Well I added the codes and checked to see how they looked and then I wanted to blend the ads to match the layout of my blog and I got that done! Now it was time to check and see how many clicks I was getting. In hindsight I should have known that I wouldn't get any clicks in the first few seconds of having the Adsense ads on my blog but hey I was 'rarin to go!

To make a long story short I didn't make that first $100 the first month. The first month I made something like $50 and I was so disappointed now I had to wait to see what the next month would bring! So I was on pins and needles during the 2nd month. I only had to make $50 more to get a check for that 2nd month since I still had $50 from the first month. So I anxiously kept checking my clicks and slowly but surely I edged up to make enough to get my first Adsense check during my 2nd month! Ohhhh how good it felt to get that check! And oooooh how good it felt to SPEND it!
