The government has declared the recession over. But for the rest of us the economic collapse is still being felt and probably will be for the next few years.
So here is a helpful tip from me via techdirt. If you do lose your job and are planning to collect unemployment be sure and take down any advertising on and and all blogs you run.
It seems crazy but even the pennies you get from Google Adsense can cause you unemployment woes.
“Forbes is reporting that a lawyer’s unemployment benefits were greatly reduced, because his blog earned about $1/day in ad revenue. “
Let me assure you, that if you are using Google Adsence to generate revenue from, your blog or website and you are pulling in $1 a day, you are doing fairly well. Most of us make far less per day. Full disclosure, the combined totals of all four websites* I manage make less than $0.40 a day from Google.
It’s asinine to think that this constitutes “work” or “income” to the people at unemployment, but… I understand the slope and she be slippery for sure.
So anyway, if you are unfortunate enough to find yourself out of work, be sure and disable any advertising on your websites. Just in case.
