A review of the contents of the program looks like stuff that's freely available online and has been since the 90's (replace "blogs" with "websites" and "google juice" with "meta tags"). The problem with creating a really successful blog that gets lots of links (which is where your real traffic comes from) is that you actually have to do something unique, not just optimally place your adsense according to some arcane feng shui. There is no formula for success.

Being a really amazing writer covering an interesting topic that the general public wants to know about is a good start. According to A-list blogger, Hugh Macleod, It all comes down to porn: "Does your blog suffer from low traffic? It's probably because there's not enough porn on it. Sex Porn, Real Estate Porn, Wine Porn, Biz Porn, Soul Porn, it doesn't matter."

It should be noted that I in no way expect to earn even three figures from this blog. I think the pfblogging community may not be the best place to make adsense revenue, but there is a lot to be learned about money/spending/saving/frugality/simplicity/investing and that translates into real value.
