I Still Don't Get It.

I still don't get it. I'm just not making money out of this online venture. Not from Adsense, from Swickis I've created or from banner advertising.

I should explain what a Swicki is. Swickis are community search engines - you can target the results of the searches to go to the best sites for your topics. Immediately I created my first Swicki - the Joke Swicki, people suddenly started using it. The only problem was they didn't go anywhere near the advertising.

I think most people making money from advertising on blogs are cheating. Getting all their friends to click on their pages. I've been asking my friends not to click, but I'm still getting clicks in the last half of each month and not the first half. Are people trying to increase revenue in the second half to get paid at the end of the month? What's going on?
