Thanks, readers, for making me rich

 Some years ago, I think I flicked a switch on this Google/Blogger hosted blog to allow adverts.  I would, in principle, see some cut of the advertising revenue.  I haven't yet, but I was excited today to see this email from Google, beginning with this text-graphic:

 

I supposed that a sudden spike in reading of my blog, and users finding the algorithmically-targeted adverts so much to their liking that they click through and buy stuff (nuclei, I suppose).  

Well, my hit statistics are pretty much unchanged, but I followed the link in today's email to my Google AdSense account to find that:

 
At this rate, I should be able to buy a ticket to see a men's football world cup match in something like 2000 years, though who know how much the tickets will cost by then.  
 
According to their email, it could also be that something about my blog is against Google policies.  It can't be the post I'm writing right now, so it's all a bit of a mystery to me. 
 
Well, sorry for the lack of adverts for those of you who come to the blog to follow the sponsored links.  I guess there will be fewer of those from now
