I tried Adsense for a while, and only made a few cents a week. I just don't see how anyone could actually make a good living off of adsense, without getting a ton of visitors. But if you had that many visitors, there would be many more profitable ways of monetizing your site. Just looking for some input/opinions.
I don't think that I will use AdSense on my upcomming website because it's almost only profitable if you get a lot of traffic. And if I do get a lot of traffic then I think there are alot of better ways to earn money than with adsense.
@ above ~ i agree, adsense is just other word as rubbish for me. Adsense never looks to be good and pay too low. I was earning better with Popup Ads.
No, you need a ton of visitors. Nothing in the world is free. Luckily if you get a ton of visitors, many of them link your site naturally getting you even more.
i have a game site earns me 10++ bucks per month, that i hv forgotten long time about the site. so is this auto income not a good one? if u put lots of efforts and earn few cents per week, then adsense suck, else, it is nice one.
If you are going to forget about something that makes you 10++ per month then hand it over to me. I think your site needs to be in the hands of someone who will give it the credit it deserves!
What is 'good' money? I've been getting around the $300-400pm range recently, that's nice but not what I'd call 'good' money. But looking at my last year's history there's been months as low as $100 - too low even to get a payout - so its not exactly income you can rely on.
I'd say that is an OK adsense income. Adsense for me ranges from $20 per day to nothing. Some months I get $200 and it's better than nothing. BUT that is really all it is. I think to earn good money from Adsense you need 10 - 20 sites earning $100 per month, so $1,000 - $2,000 per month.
yes, you are right, without getting a tons of visitor, you cant make good money with adsense. But i gotta remind you that you cant make good money with any program if you dont get tons of visitor
For me its a niche (gaming) problem i guess. My CTR is getting better (but still below 0,50%) but my main problem is the CPM that is around $0,05 overall. So currently i am not making that much out of it but its enough to pay the domain/hosting from.
I think One could earn more from google adsense if he drives more traffic towards his website. If you get 100,000 visitrs per day then it means you are in Alexa top 40,000 Global Websites so it is likely that you make $10 + from google Adsense on a daily basis but only if you have a profitable niche like health,technology or finance
Why your making that $10 per day beside Google Adsense? Is Alexa paying the top 40K global websites or?
Choosing the right niche (hint: forget those high paying keyword lists floating around) and building a quality site (i.e. the best in the niche) and everything will fall into place with a lot of hard work and time. You need to give a site at least a year - if it comes sooner, you won't complain. You don't need a ton of traffic or even pages. There are small (under 10 pages) site that make six figures a year with less than 1K visitors a day. Concentrate on one or two sites until they are producing. Starting with a bunch of sites means you'll wind up with a lot of crap making pennies. If you're looking for get rich quick scheme, adsense isn't for you. 99% of failures are due to not doing enough research and putting in enough work. Everything you need to know to make six figures a year can be found on DP (and not in some scam ebook).
just concentrate on things to attract visitors to your site and also they have to click ur google ads!! concentrate on these aspects and u will feel the difference
for my experience ,content is the king so if you got a great content and it's unique ,traffic will come to you ...
oh i'm sure NO body is making any money with adsense, i'm pretty sure. Consider there are so many of people posting threads like this one.
I usually needs 8000 UV's per to earn $100 from AdSense. Well my keywords are not high paying ones and CTR is around 6%. But I think AdSense works well for low traffic sites unlike any other Ad network except Amazon.
