[Inside AdSense] Introducing 10 for 10 publisher stories: Crafting with Cut Out + Keep


This June 18th is a major milestone: the date marks the 10th anniversary of AdSense's launch. Over the years, AdSense has evolved from a small contextually-targeted text ad network to a complete publisher solution, serving Display, Mobile, Video, and more for over 2 million publishers -- with powerful new features, reports, and controls to boot. As we've grown over the last decade with your support and feedback, we've heard inspiring stories about how you and your businesses have done the same.

June 18th falls exactly 10 weeks from today, so we're kicking off a '10 for 10' success story series here on the blog. Each Tuesday leading up to the anniversary, we'll introduce you to a publisher who has grown their business with AdSense and other Google tools. Stay tuned for more information on AdSense's 10th anniversary -- but in the meantime, let's get started by meeting Cat Morley and Tom Waddington from Cut Out + Keep:

Cat originally launched Cut Out + Keep as a blog where she could share her craft ideas. With the help of her business partner and fiancé, Tom, she transformed the blog into a popular crafting community where over 140,000 registered users now share their own projects. As the site grew, the Edinburgh-based couple turned to AdSense to earn from their site without needing to spend time selling ads. "Both of us are bad at sales," Tom admits. "We don't want to sell ads -- we want to focus on building the site, which is our true passion. We regard AdSense as our third employee."

Thanks to the revenue from AdSense, Tom was able to quit his day job to focus completely on the site. More recently, the couple attended a Learn with Google for Publishers workshop in Edinburgh to learn how to improve the performance of their site. Since making changes recommended to them by an optimization specialist at the workshop, including updating their ad formats and getting started with DoubleClick for Publishers (DFP) Small Business, Cat and Tom have seen their revenue quadruple.

Hear more about Cat and Tom's AdSense experience by reading the full story. Do you have a success story to share as well? We'd love to hear from you. Join us here on Inside AdSense next Tuesday to hear another AdSense story and meet another publisher.
