Question for fellow bloggers?

I’ve been looking for some answers about the Google AdSense program, and I can’t seem to find them, so I’d love to exchange information with any other bloggers that have enrolled in the Google AdSense program. I’ve read through all their info, and I can’t figure out exactly how bloggers get compensated for the ads placed on their blogs? Granted, I’m not exactly that tech savvy, but I do work in publishing so I know something about ads. I’m hoping maybe I just didn’t see the answer in there some how.

From what I read it seems that you’re paid on some kind of formula that combines click-throughs and impressions. But, what’s the formula? I’m not exactly running a mega blog here, and I don’t want to clutter it up with ads for just pennies. What is the cost per 1000 impressions? What counts as an impression? Do you have to get click throughs on any ads?

I just think it’s strange that they don’t offer up this magical formula so you could look at your site stats. and make some kind of educated guess on what sort of revenue you might generate.

I’ve now reached more than 1,000 visitors to the blog (both first timers and returning readers) in about three months. I wouldn’t expect that this level of traffic would rock Google’s world, but then again, if I could generate even $50 bucks off this site, it could become an HPS fundraiser.

So, any addies out there???? Please advise? Is it worth it?

Ratner's Cheesecake

Here's another recipe from Toby! Thanks Toby......and I'll get the others posted soon! Ratner's Cheesecake and plain cookies Ratner's was a Jewish dairy restaurant in the lower East Side of Manhattan. This recipe, from my disintegrating, no longer in print Ratner's cookbook, is the closest I've ever gotten to reproducing the rich, heavy cheesecake my mother made when I was a kid. It's worth the time it takes to prepare and every last calorie. Dough Can be prepared in advance. Makes enough for two cakes. Can be frozen or used to make cookies – see recipe below. 1 cup sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cup shortening 1 teaspoon lemon extract 1 cup butter 2 eggs 3 cups sifted cake flour ½ teaspoon salt 2 cups all purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1.

The next generation with Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome

I'm so behind on posting about the trip to Puerto Rico. Since the episode of Mystery Diagnosis on Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome ran right after we got home, it's been a little busy. These, however, are my favorite pictures from Puerto Rico. I know, not pretty senery etc - but these little guys and gals inspire me. They are the next generation of folks with HPS, and if we keep up the hard work, they will live better lives because of it. They motivate me.

Help for one of our newest HPS friends

As many of you know, I have a google alert set up for all sorts of key terms like albinism, pulmonary fibrosis etc. The following was posted on the blog of a friend of Melanie's. Melanie is one of our newest members of the Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome family. Unfortunately, like so many she didn't know she had HPS and the lung disease sort of snuck up on her. Melanie will be 26 years old next week. Perhaps some of us would like to contribute to the fund set up to help her and her family for her birthday. Here's the post: Melanie Hernandez, beloved sister and daughter to Pete, Monique, Cookie, and Bugie, has been diagnosed with Pulmonary Fibrosis, a lung disease occurring in people with Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome, a very rare disease.Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome (“HPS”) is a genetic metabolic disorder.
