Almost a latte

Since I relaunched my blog on Saturday I’ve had 432 page views. So if I’d been really smart and put AdSense on the blog…

At 0.30 CPC

with a 2% Click thru rate

I’d have earned a grand total of $2.59.

Almost the price of a latte.

UPDATE: I installed adsense. My goal: to earn one latte every 2 days, which is about how often I support the local coffee shop.

Google don’t want to do any evil, but they also don’t like free speech that much, so according to the adsense terms I’m not actually allowed to tell you if I earn enough for a latte. But if you see my posting rate drop then click a few ads, I’ll buy a coffee and output will improve.

My name is Mark Maunder. I've been blogging since around 2003 when I started on Movable Type and ended up on WordPress which is what I use to publish today. With my wife Kerry, I'm the co-founder of Wordfence which protects over 5 million WordPress sites from hackers and is run by a talented team of 36 people. I'm an instrument rated pilot and I fly a Cessna 206 along with a 1964 Cessna 172 in the Pacific Northwest and Colorado. I'm originally from Cape Town, South Africa but live in the US these days. I code in a bunch of languages and am quite excited about our emerging AI overlords and how they're going to be putting us to work for them.
