My first $10 Adsense day!

[Joe Blow]

Woohoo!

Just had my first $10 Adsense day!! Something about those double figures makes you feel like you're actually getting somewhere! :D

I feel like dancing around in my underwear!

[dct]

Congrats Joe, just draw the curtains and dance away.

[seodelhi]

Congrats, great job

[nevetS]

congrats. That's a good feeling! $300 months are right around the corner!

[honey]

good job, look for a $50 day next :) and bump this thread :)

[dzcap]

Congratulations!

[PinoyIto]

good job..... congrats... after one month that will be $100 a day :)

[Joe Blow]

Thanks for all your congratulations guys. It's nice to see all the hard work finally paying off!

I love how this forum is so supportive. It's great to see webmasters helping other webmasters!

Hope you all have a great day!

[Xaver]

I wish you many more succesful days.

[markkk]

thats inspiring for us...:)

[Klaas Koopman]

omg i'm already happy when I get $1 a day!!! or even a click a day!

[Joe Blow]

All you guys making less than me, never give up hope. I'm no web genius, I'm just an average bloke off the street who decided to give it a go and put in the hard yards.

Keep working on your sites, keep adding content, keep driving traffic to your sites and play by the rules (be honest!) and you WILL see your bottom line improve!

Most importantly: You have to love what you do and love the niche you work in!

Good luck to everyone else out there! You can do it too! :D

[Old Welsh Guy]

Funny thing, but one of the traits that ALL self made millionaires share is goal setting and achievement.

I read an article that interviewed self made rich people, and they all more or less said the same thing. They said that they set their goals, decided what the cost would be financially, personally time etc, then decided if they were willing to pay that price. Many of them said that they walke away from projects because they were not willing to pay the price.

I have drawers and cd's full of projects that I have brought to 'ready to go' level, but decided that they would be too time consuming to actually run with. So they sit wasting away no doubt they will never see the light of day. Time is my motivator, and has been for a while now. Money doesn't motivate me (although I need money to live lol) it is quality of life that drives me on now.

We have one project though that I am loathe to let go, we have market tested it and it is a winner. It involves working with other people on a free franchise basis though, and my wife and I are at odds over it lol. I know that if we run with it, it will bring in an extra £35,000 a year, and it will only mean working hard for about 12 months then sitting back and taking the residual. It is fee based and all repeat income. But, I promised her I wouldn't work long hours again, so that looks like another one off to the drawer of death :)

Well done, if you can get $10 then duplicate the effort and you have $20 selling is ALL about numbers.

[kawebspy]

Well in my case, the Ads on my sites especially on the sites included in my signature are creating satisfactory CTR. There is only one thing that I am working hard to achieve... that is the traffic of my sites.

[WhatiFind]

Congrats, from $0 to 10$ a day is the hardest part. After that keep on doing what you're doing and increase the traffic to the website.

[xeno]

How long did it take to go from zero to ten? I am at 1.5 months and my best day has been a $4 day. Congrats. Hope to be there soon.

[Old Welsh Guy]

IMO the volume isn't the issue. If you are earning, then the business model works. All you need to do to increase earnings is increase traffic, and improve the conversion ratios. I know it is basic stuff, but selling is all about numbers (said it again lol). In selling, to earn more, you either sell more to existing customers, or find new customers to sell to. Bringing down the conversion ration sells more to existing traffic, getting more traffic achieves both the first and second objective as you will sell MORE to the new clients.

God selling is great :)

[Joe Blow]

How long did it take to go from zero to ten? I am at 1.5 months and my best day has been a $4 day. Congrats. Hope to be there soon.

I started with Adsense about five months ago, but built my site up for nine months before I put the ads on there.

Now all that work is beginning to pay off. :)

[my3cents]

Congrats on your $10 day! I remember my first $10 day... I imagined what it would be like if I could pull in that much everyday. Then after a few months I was! You will be there soon... I have no doubt.

Good luck!

[PinoyIto]

Congrats, from $0 to 10$ a day is the hardest part. After that keep on doing what you're doing and increase the traffic to the website.

I agree... now that you find the way just continue doing or double what you did to earn your first $10 and you will see your earning will increase continuesly.

[Swordfish]

Congrats. Keep up the good work.

[aeiouy]

Woohoo!

Just had my first $10 Adsense day!! Something about those double figures makes you feel like you're actually getting somewhere! :D

I feel like dancing around in my underwear!

Kudos to you!

[elavenil]

congrats dude.i am also working for $10 per day

[J.P]

congrats, I had a $6 (ish) day yesterday which is my highest yet :)

[Subzero]

Congrats, I am nearly there....Maybe next month:D

[unTangled]

Congrats!!!

Another 31 cents and I'll have my first $10 adsense month :D

[bluegill_catcher]

That is super, I made it myself a month back, now it's a struggle to get it every day or higher for me, like it was to get to $10. It took me about 8 months to make it to $10 a day. I still don't make it every day but almost every day, with some making more.

I have around 190 content pages, and have been on the net for a few years.

About 80% of my traffic comes from msn and yahoo, with a few from ask jeeves and google.

I find it very hard to get indexed in google, in fact my pr and indexing with google has not moved in almost 2 months, and my stats show no spidering from them in all that time either. Thank god to msn and yahoo or my traffic would be nill after years on the net.

[Kaabi]

Woohoo!

Just had my first $10 Adsense day!! Something about those double figures makes you feel like you're actually getting somewhere! :D

I feel like dancing around in my underwear!

$10 in one day? Thats pretty good. If thats one day... soon... money times 5... you'll be slighty rich!

[exaro]

Congrats on the success. It's some nice motivation for the lesser's of Adsense :):):)

[Ch-Nauman]

You are smoothly climbing up the ladder ..I am currenly making $5 per day with a month old site which luckely gets on top for a particular keyword on msn .5 more site to follow and hopefully i will get this $10 task in couple of months...then $100:cool: then...$1000:eek:

[Davey Crocket]

How many vistors go to your site per day to make $10 a day?

MY highest so far is $5.57 in one day I hope to have it up to $557.00 a day sometime in the future :)

[bluearrow]

Congrats !!! its also great feeling ,i mean the first "break through" isn't it ?!!

[Zedzero]

congrats. i hope i will make a similar thread next month.

[Joe Blow]

How many vistors go to your site per day to make $10 a day?

Between 500 and 600 on an average weekday, although I don't have the adsense ads in many places. My most valuable site real estate I'm saving for a site-wide banner spot that I want to start seling in a couple of months.

Best of luck with your sites!

[kandeman]

i have about 0.30$ a day :'( from 4 websites

[Izo]

That's great. You earn 10 times more than I'd earn with 500 uniques daily....

[freshprince]

Congrats... i had a $16 day last year (football season when my site gets more hits)
i was getting around $7 per day (football offseason) but since google did whatever they did i have dropped to around a $4 average :(

[maverick]

Wow, I bumped into nice thread I guess.. because I was about to start a thread with this title.. but little different..

My first 10 days with $10 everyday... it really feels nice to see the efforts pay off :)

And one of my sites really contributed well for the success... only cause of updating it daily with news in stock market..

www.stock-market-india.net

[SportsOutlaw]

Glad to see people enjoying success. I hit $20.00 for the first time 2 days ago, was just pennies away yesterday. Hopefully, that is a sign of things to come.

[kandeman]

I wanna earn like you guys :(

[Old Welsh Guy]

I wanna earn like you guys :(It is all about luck :D

Like Winstone Churchill told someone in the house of commons when he was told he was very lucky to be where he was. his reply " yes madam, and the harder I worked, the luckier I got" ;)

[Willy]

Like Winstone Churchill told someone in the house of commons when he was told he was very lucky to be where he was. his reply "yes madam, and the harder I worked, the luckier I got" ;)

That's a fantastic quote :D ...and it's true enough, if you work hard, then you can make your own choices; if you don't work hard, other people will make them for you.

[tonyhill]

For me it was really hard going from $1 to $10 than it was going from $10 to $20... So hopefully your next step should be easier... Then again what really shot me up around $20 was optimization of the ads. After that, it's all about traffic, content, statistics, and minor tweaking. - Good luck!

[kandeman]

what do you meen by tweaking?

[gaits2heaven]

That's a good feeling!

[guru-seo]

Adsense optimization is key. After I tweaked my ads I increased the CTR 400%. If you build it they will come.

[ockert]

Hey, congrats!

I have been using Adsense for one year and generally I am very happy with the program.

A little bit of advice: do not follow your earnings too closely - if you look at it dialy, then sometimes you get discouraged or too excited because of the results of a particular day which does not reflect the earnings you should expect over the period of a month for example.

Good luck!:)

[yfs1]

I actually have had my first $200+ day and its only 5 hours in

I think one of my sites was featured in a big email newsletter because I am getting 1000's with blank refferers (and its a sub page)

[ozgression]

I actually have had my first $200+ day and its only 5 hours in

Wow, thats cool. :)

[yfs1]

Wow, thats cool. :)
The only frustrating part is I have no way of knowing why suddenly there are 1000's of people more an hour (other then its via email)

[MattL]

what do you meen by tweaking?

It means making slight adjustments to get the best possible results.

[kandeman]

Like removing the borders on ads and putting images over ads?

[dzcap]

Good advice, I had a $50+ day and the next day it was under $5!! Needless to say, that hit me hard! Got so discouraged, I didn't visit my sites or check my adsense earnings for a whole week. Not to mention lack of energy, sleep, motivation, etc. etc. :mad: :mad: :mad:

[yirmumah]

Two things that weren't working at all for me before when seperate, I took a chance and tried together--- The 468 adlinks bar over a search bar looks really nice and almost makes you want to search for stuff for some reason.

You can see an example of this under my strip in this blog entry- http://www.yirmumah.djcoffman.com/?p=143

I've tried it out for a few days, and it works better than the 468 banners I had in the blog posts...

One problem-- with the blog setup, I have to keep up on it a little and make sure I add the "more" tag so that more than two of those search bars don't show up when someone wants to view all posts in one category-- like if someone clicks on "webcomics" google doesnt seem to limit the searchbars automatically like they do the 468 banners... Hopefully they can fix that so us Blogfolk don't have to do as much maintaining, but i mean, it's not TOO Much work.

[emz]

Congratulations Joe, you are on your way !

[programmer]

congratulations dude - no enjoy a real party with your friends coz now you are earning

[RectangleMan]

I started with Adsense about five months ago, but built my site up for nine months before I put the ads on there.

Now all that work is beginning to pay off. :)


Not to be a downer but you should just give up. Sorry but let's be real here. $10 a day while it's nice on a site....isn't really earning anything important. Also it took you 9 months to make this. How many HUNDREDS of hours have you spent on your site? I assume the time you spent on the site even at minimum wage would have earned you about 5-10k so far. I would think any site should be making $1 after 30 days...$3 after 60...$5 after 90 and $10 after 120. If you can't reach that your site is taking too long to grow. Basically a site would need to make at least $30-$50 a day for it to be considered a good second income over a part-time job. At the rate you are at it would be 3 years before that happens. I think you need to rethink your approach and consider new options.

This is just my opinion and hey...if you are happy with what you are doing then great. I am just not one to get all crazy over something you can earn in a day collecting cans. I think too many here want to pat others on the back instead of offering real opinions.

[neforum]

That's great. It takes a little while. I've been seriously running adsense for about 3 months now and had my first $10 day toward the end of last month. I'd had a couple of $8+ days before that, but never broke into double figures. I've still only done it once. This is from a couple of sites. The average per day is just under $4 per day at the mo. I've seen a rise in all my months so far.

Keep plugging away.

[kahsoon]

Woohoo!

Just had my first $10 Adsense day!! Something about those double figures makes you feel like you're actually getting somewhere! :D

I feel like dancing around in my underwear!

I know how u feel because i just reach that mark as well...lets dance around in underwear together! *woot*

That's an interesting point, but I have to differ. I think that many sites will struggle to hit that $10/day mark, but have the potential to grow well past that once a few hurdles are surpassed. It can take more than a year to make a real quality site - and even then you aren't guaranteed visitors until the word gets out.

It's certainly valid that a guy with a lot of experience can set those timelines for himself - but for those of us that are relatively fresh, you can end up spending weeks on trivial things as part of your learning process. With what I know and have learned from the digital point and general marketing/seo community, my timeline for creating a new site is ten times faster than it was 2 years ago - but I'm still learning and developing my processes and evaluating a lot of variables. If I were to try to kick out sites at a rapid speed at this point (which I've considered on a number of occasions), I could probably make some quick extra cash, but I'd be doing a disservice to the community.

Personally, I'd like this hobby of mine to work out long term, and that means that things are very slow and expensive right now - but I'm willing to spend the time and money as part of the educational experience. SEO and earning advertising revenue is a piece of the puzzle, but so are site design, programming, site administration, graphics design, community building and keeping up to date with standards and general web industry news. In my experience there are very few people who can put all of that together and hiring experts would take an influx of capital that is unlikely.

$10/day is a strong step in the right direction - at whatever time frame it takes, and getting that far means that there is potential for more. Once you know the keys then its easier to replicate them on the next project.

[uca]

Yep, I see it the same way as nevetS.

You don't only earn money you also build up knowledge that will pay in the longer term.

So 10$ today seem little, but you have to add what you learn on top of that.

Unless you set short term targets, in which case I more or less agree with labrocca.

:)

Hi
my site have good trafic 1500 per day i got 15 $ is good or bad ???

[clay15]

I am just not one to get all crazy over something you can earn in a day collecting cans.

With the difference being that once you stop collecting, you stop earning. Depending on the type of site, you can stop updating it for months, maybe even years, and still earn something with it.

[uca]

great point, I missed it, but it might be the most important, definetely one of the most....

[RectangleMan]

Well I didn't want to discourage him just let him know that imho he should reconsider things. Maybe it's time to shelf the site and try another one. That's what I would do. I have plenty of sites that make less than $10 a day...some less than $1 but I don't put effort into them and I think that's really my point. It just seems like he is working really hard on a site making $10 or less per day which honestly can't be that productive.

I pretty much agree with ya nevets. He is learning and that's good but for some here to not offer him more constructive criticism is imho wrong...sometimes the best encouragement is blunt truth. I normally can take a site from zero and get $10 a day within 60 days....I just built a site from nothing 3 weeks ago and I made $26 yesterday from it with 700 uniques and it's still growing.

btw- $15 for 1500 daily uniques is actually just fine....a site like that is work a few K easy.

[nevetS]

He is learning and that's good but for some here to not offer him more constructive criticism is imho wrong...sometimes the best encouragement is blunt truth.

Very true.

[revenow]

congrats. Keep adding content and that number will keep adding up as well.

[maverick]

My first target was to make $300 pm. But still I could not achieve it yet. Last time I fall short by $15-20. This time I will try to reach there as at this moment the average of 20 days is $9.5. Just 50 cents per day in average I need to break my first target.
My stock site is helping me a lot. Wish me luck.

[pcdoc]

Wish me luck.

OK, here's wishing you (and all of us) luck.

[ideas]

wow congrats, i made 2.49 this day

Sorry man i have to disagree...
If you make anything at all and get checks it is worth it.
I mean if you have a website and not have adsense up then you will not make that extra $$$ that adsense brings.
$10 per day is $300 per month.. Thats not bad at all just to have ads on your site

[syedwasi87]

its encouraging....

So if you made $5 a month you would be happy? If you made $5 and spent hours upon hours working on your site...you would think the $5 is worth it. For you to state "if you make anything at all...it is worth it" is really unbelievable. I would think that there is some ratio of labor hours to revenue that is very important and does decide if it's worth it. I would think anything under mimimum wage is a damn joke. If he was 12 that's another story...but judging by the posts I would assume he is older. $300 per month is horrible as an income. I would only be able to spend 1 hour a day MAX on a site that did that. I need to earn a LOT more than minimum wage and so do most people.

You do realise there are sites out there whose main function is not generating revenue, but instead enabeling the author to express his views, show off his stuff or whatever else reason they where created for in the first place? On those sites Adsense or affiliate programs is just an added bonus, for doing what you would have been spending time on anyway.

And welcome as it is, AS is not the only way that a site might be making money. In fact, AS should definately not be the only way a site is making money. Otherwise a change in algo and whoops, bye bye! See you in the dole queue.

I think you need to rethink your approach and consider new options...That's great if you want to set personal goals such as "give up if not making $10 a day after 4 months", but not everyone is building sites for adsense revenue. To us, adsense revenue is a bonus, not an income. I could easily put adsense ads in obnoxious places on my websites to increase CTR, but I'd rather keep customers on my site and sell product. ;)

I pretty much agree with you, but only if the site is build for generating revenue and you actually depend on it. Take for example the first site in my signature, the girl who owns it makes her living drawing, and the site is just a way for her to share her art with others. Adsense is just a nice extra income that covers hosting (and more) should we e.g. get banned from Adsense or otherwise lose the money it makes, that'll suck, but it won't be the end of the world. I don't want to live off the money it makes, but I really can't see how extra money, that is basicly free if you're going to build the site anyway, has ever hurt anyone.

[Klaas Koopman]

wowowowow! are you all forgetting webmasters like me? I like to build and destroy! I create projects to learn from and have fun with. ( and I earn money with my services )

Every extra penny I can take with my website, with having fun, is allowed in my pocket! I won't stop it! nohoo! it can be just here in my pocket!

Come on who doesn't want to get paid $300 for having fun like me!

[EWpro]

Congrats Joe Blow! Keep it up!

Not to respond specifically to labrocca but also others who expressed the same view earlier in the thread: you are ignoring disparities in purchasing power and the cost of living, that is, the fact that in certain countries, $300 per month is not bad at all, especially if it's just extra income. I mean, just because it doesn't float your juggernaut... ;)

[jorge]

my highest in a day on one site was $40... has dropped badly since

[morituri]

Congrats! I'm almost there - I've had a few over $8 days, but the $10 mark still seems elusive at this point.

Internet Marketing is an art... Some people need to learn thing before they go making $500 a day... Remember most of have very little invested other than time into our ventures, as compared to a normal company... I can say I have approximately $5k of my own money over the course of 5 years in my websites, and I have gotted about $10k a year out of them so far... For the amount of investment you can't beat the return... Plus I'm sure this is something most of us enjoy doing, so it's more of a hobby that can pay off than anything else...

[Gardengal]

My website is new. I've been making under a dollar a day and some days nothing at all. Since there are so many garden sites out there, I'm at a loss at how I can get more visability for my website. Maybe you all can give me some helpful tips on how to generate real time visitors for my website.

[IamNed]

Nice job. Soon you may see $100/day and maybe in time $1,000 a day....

When I started with Adsense I was making about $2-3 a day so it is possible.

[Joe Blow]

Hey, I forgot about this thread!

Since it's been bumped I thought I'd give everyone an Adsense update... I now make more than $10 virtually every day and have had a few $20+ days.

That's sweet. Congrats!

I hope I'll join at least the $10/day club someday :p

[parad0x]

It's a webmaster forum and i don't understand those people who say "Give up, you can't make it". 10$ per day is SOMETHING. At least it means that if you build 5 more pages like that, you will earn nearly 50$ per day. All of us starts with small amounts but i really dont get it when some1 post some silly msgs. Keep up the good work and hope to see your 100$/day msg as soon as possible. Good luck dude.

wowowowow! are you all forgetting webmasters like me? I like to build and destroy! I create projects to learn from and have fun with. ( and I earn money with my services )

Every extra penny I can take with my website, with having fun, is allowed in my pocket! I won't stop it! nohoo! it can be just here in my pocket!

Come on who doesn't want to get paid $300 for having fun like me!

Love your attitude :)
Hope you are making lots of pennies!

This topic is 210 day old. Doubled your earnings in 210 days. You have to work some more. :D

[MediaHustler]

Joe_Blow now how much do you make a day? I just reached $3, 3 days ago.

[john269]

I remember about a year ago when I use to get around $10 a day on the gaming part of my site, then suddenly on a thursday my clicks were just the same as what they normally on the gaming section but my earnings just went up to about $97 for the day from the gaming section alone.

The day after and things were back to normal. Thursday comes again and then I then had about $117 for the day on the gaming section alone with normal about of clicks.

I started to think things looks a bit odd so I quickly sent Google an email telling them that I think something may be wrong.

I had an email back from them telling me things were alright and all these earnings that I had didn't get deducted from my account as they were not fraud or they were not wrong.

At the time I was very happy when I saw these figures coming in.

Now I get these types of figures all the time, but I need alot more clicks to get them to what I had to get the days I were getting that amount on a thursday.

I only had it like that for two thursdays though. But it was nice while it lasted. Thanks to the advertiser that bidded over the odds for the ads that were clicked on my site. I just hope that my traffic converted for him/her.

So if you made $5 a month you would be happy? If you made $5 and spent hours upon hours working on your site...you would think the $5 is worth it. For you to state "if you make anything at all...it is worth it" is really unbelievable. I would think that there is some ratio of labor hours to revenue that is very important and does decide if it's worth it. I would think anything under mimimum wage is a damn joke. If he was 12 that's another story...but judging by the posts I would assume he is older. $300 per month is horrible as an income. I would only be able to spend 1 hour a day MAX on a site that did that. I need to earn a LOT more than minimum wage and so do most people.

what if

month 1 the site made $.50
month 2: $.75
month 3: $1.50
month 4: $4.00
month 5: $7.50
month 6 : $10.00

i'd say this is a good site if the growth has been consistent through its lifecycle. i'd buy a site like this

[KA1]

Hey, I forgot about this thread!

Since it's been bumped I thought I'd give everyone an Adsense update... I now make more than $10 virtually every day and have had a few $20+ days.

Things are looking up! :D

Seems you are on the right track. Keep at it & it can only get better.
All the best.

[john269]

A site that keeps growing every month is good, but the following growth that you mentioned above is not much. If it takes six months to start earning 10's then you competitors will most probably be much ahead of you.

I can see where you are going though. If it keeps doubling it's income then after the 12 month it will be around: $600 - $700 dollars, which is a nice little income.

But not many sites would grow in this way, if you want to grow a site in this way then work has to be put into it every month.

what if

month 1 the site made $.50
month 2: $.75
month 3: $1.50
month 4: $4.00
month 5: $7.50
month 6 : $10.00

My site 2 months old now

1rst month =.45 cents
2nd month=2.85 cents

something is better than nothing :-) . So far i learned it all depends upon not the good content on site. But How you use SEO techniques to make your site searchable and adsense ads layout ...:(

i would say that $600 to $700 a day for one site is more than a "nice little income" :D

but like you said, it would probably level off somewhere before that, though. many of my sites come out the first few months growing like wildfire, then bam - taper off. that seems to be the standard "sandbox" pattern in google.

that's more than 5-fold growth. i wouldn't be sad about that. if you continue that growth rate, you'll be making dough in no time.

"the magic of compounding adsense revenue!" :D

100 ten dollar days

[milsirhc]

[smartfeeds]

Woohoo!

Just had my first $10 Adsense day!! Something about those double figures makes you feel like you're actually getting somewhere! :D

I feel like dancing around in my underwear!

congrats. do you have an update?

[TCR]

Congratulations!

I have been at it for about a week, and am sooooo close to breaking my first $100! Its nice to see hard work being paid off, especially with $$!
(I have prob spent half that on adverts, though, to gain exposure)

I must agree that this forum is really supportive, and someone is always willing to help out. I hope that soon I will be able to share what I learned from you guys with others. Just keep plugging away and do not be afraid to SPEND money to get people to you site. If it is a decent site, they will come back (hopefully).

:D

Are you talking about your daily total or $100 overall?

[rubeina]

Great job Joe Blow!!! Go ahead & dance! :)

[TCR]

Are you talking about your daily total or $100 overall?

$100 overall, but in a weeks time. It certainly gives me hope of better things to come! I can only imagine $100 days right now. :)

if anyone needs help getting peole to their site, Yahoo is giving a $50 credit to new advertisers. Between that and adwords, it def helps getting people to your site.

[Kendothpro]

could you provide a link for the 50$ yahoo offer?
does that apply to international advertisers too?

Kendoth, I just checked it and they cjanged it to $25 credit, or $50 off their other product (price $200). But still it is free $. You have to dep $5.00 to start. I do not know if it is available ti intl, read the fine print.

The link is :

(or google "yahoo $50 credit")

just know that when you have only 3 days worth of funds left, they charge your cc. Budget accordingly.
