182$ is a very big amount and if achieved can work wonders. I recently started with Adsense and after workign so hard m able to generate close to 100$/month.. And planning to achieve bigger figure in the near future.
Just hit $1,100 last night. Averaging $51/day in July. Only one of my sites though, surprising a new site at that, making more than my 3 year old site that's on a different ad network.
I wish I could say it's easy, but I remember those $20 months, those $40 months, and those $100 months not too long ago. Just takes time...
for July $6.71 one of my new site I started in July showing 2 clicks (150 impressions) but 0 earnings WHY?
The $1,100+ I've made so far this month from adsense is from just a normal blog. Lots of traffic though.
One million bagillion so far. Actually, I lie, my bad. My earnings are up since I added a 300x250 ad ~$200 more a month. Just need to hire a decent article writer, since I suck at it. On a serious note though... just over $1300 as of today. No where near Mobius's earning though, since he is god and all.
I always get about $1500/month, $3000 on a top month (before this recession nonsense kicked off). It's been like that for years. I don't try to increase it, I try to spread my risks, experimenting with new things, just in case one day Adsense stops. All companies change how they do things over time, look at how ebay partner network changed last year (that cut my epn income down by 75%). It's annoying though that, no matter what else I try, Adsense always, consistently, undeniably ... beats everything else hands down... SO annoying.
