Meet Chloe Spencer, a young female blogger at the age of 15 but already earning more than $30/day in Google AdSense with her Neopet Cheats blog. Now, she may not earn as much as some of us are but to be earning that kind of amount at her age, that’s very impressive.
Chole’s secret to success
In early 2006, when Chloe was 15, she decided to devote a blog to Neopets, a virtual pets site popular with kids the world over. After performing some keyword research through WordTracker and Google Suggest for her blog’s title and section headings, she discovered that “neopets cheats” was a hugely popular search term to target for her blog. So she settled on the name: the “Ultimate Neopets Cheats Site.” She then used the free WordPress.com service to start the blog. Chloe’s site was able to ride on the coattails of WordPress.com’s trust and authority in the eyes of Google, thus sidestepping the “Google Sandbox” and jumping to page 1 in Google for the term “neopet cheats” within two weeks of launch.
Chloe work blog hard like other successful bloggers, there is really no short cut to building a successful blog. Once in a while I will come across blog that are build aiming to make money from AdSense, what they don’t realise is that without proper quality content, they is no way your AdSense will revenue for you.

Hongkiat, It might look funny but it is true that I earn those $’s 100% from paid posts.

I reckon that there are malaysian teenagers who earn near that amount per day from adsense but ain’t the girl has the risk of adsense account being terminated since she does not reach 18 years of age yet? Hmm.., noticed that she didn’t credited her blog designer with a backlink in the footer which I think is a bad trend!.. :(
ReplyRose August 13th, 2007
aad_lfcfn is correct. How can this person be running Google ads on their blog when they are only 15? Google AdSenseTM Online Standard Terms and Conditions state that you must be 18 in order to participate in the Program. So this young girl is in violation of adsense you would think. How on earth did she ever get approved unless she lied about her age?
ReplyShawn August 13th, 2007
When I first read this story I thought bravo, then Rose mentioned her age and I replied she was clearly in violation!
Considering this is illegal and she is getting away with it - shows that Google does not pay much attention to who is using their program..
The Google Adsense terms clearly state you must be 18 years of age to participate in the program, and I too noticed the theme she is using has no copyright footer disclaimer to the designer.
