    Hi,
    I have been following your website from long time.You are giving great support for us. I am running a blog and i got approved from adsense. Myblog is having 300 to 500 pageviews a day. I have implemented adsense code on my blog and ads are showing. But,i haven´t seen any earnings from my blog in my adsense account. Not even a single penny.Please check my blog and give your valuable suggestion.
    My blog url is:
    http://telugumovies.eu/

    • Janice Wald

      When I get home, I will. Thank you for the kind words about my blog.
      Janice

    • Janice Wald

      Hi Siva,
      What kind words! Thank you! I did not realize you have been following my blog for a long time. I would love to encourage you to subscribe. Am I in your reader?
      Congratulations on getting 300 to 500 words every day! Exciting!
      As far as Google Adsense goes, I am like you. I have never received any money from them. I found a way to check my account, but it only had $7.00 in it, and they don’t mail a check until it gets to $10.00.
      As far as critiquing your blog, I’d be happy to give a cursory review (I charge for more indepth critiques). If you could follow my blog, first, I’d be happy to have a look. My time is so limited since I work outside the home, I set aside the extra time I have after spending time with my family to give extra help to my blog subscribers.
      Thanks for letting me know you are a fan of my blog. The compliments mean a great deal.
      Janice
