Adsense is dead...at least for me. Is anyone making a decent income with Adsense? If so, do you have a quadrillion sites that you must constantly replace as fast as they get deindexed? I got in on the tail end of the golden era of Adsense a couple of years ago. I built black hat portal sites for several months and made the best money I had up to that point. Then Google deployed their anti-auto blogging software and all of my sites were dead in the water soon afterwards. I just couldn't bring myself to crank out any more black hat sites that were sure to get torpedoed before they produced much income. Since then, I have dabbled here and there and mostly gotten no place. I have finally come to the conclusion that building white hat for the future is what I want to do. My Adsense income has dwindled to a few cents a day, if that much. As a search engine user, MFA directories and sites that have gibbrish for content irritate me when I find them. I harbor a bit of resentment towards Google over the whole Adsense thing. They created the monster of the useless websites clogging the search engines with their Adsense program. Once the genie was out of the bottle, there was no putting it back in. Now we still have garbage sites being cranked out with scripts that try to fool the spiders, etc. And good content sites get caught in the whole mess sometimes and get deindexed for no apparent reason. It's hard to imagine what the Internet would be like without search engines...but perhaps that day will soon come. Think it will never happen? Think again. I read an article that said 18-24 year olds think using email is for old people. Anyway, I look forward to your comments on you own Adsense income. Thanks.
My adsense income is low. But thats only because my sites have little visitors. If you have a good site you can make a lot
AdSense isn't my main source of income, but it certainly isn't dead. I imagine AdSense will be as strong as it is now for many years yet, and the release of Referrals 2.0 will help sites with quality traffic earn more.
I remember when i started with adsense i was making sometimes 0,10 cents a month, then i started reading and improving my weblog and in some days i make 0,10 a minute
I wouldn't say Adsense is dead, but I would NEVER depend on it for an income. Google does a good job for the advertisers by keeping fraudulent clickers away from the system for the most part. In the process they sure do ban a lot of innocent people in the process. In my opinion, sales websites are the way to go. The unfortunate part about sales is that during christmas it goes up, in the summeri t goes down. However, if it is fairly consistent and it is all up to the webmaster as to how much money he makes assuming he has a good product. I'm slowly going to be expanding into more sales websites I'm sure. I believe I have great products at PHPGator, and the site has been performing well for me.
If you combine Adsense with other methods of monetization, it's a great way to make some extra cash. But don't just use Adsense on your sites, use affiliates or text links or CPM, etc. as well.
how's that possible in adsense to make 25k monthly... unless you have a website that is PR7-8-9 and with a alexa rank of under 1000 if none of the above listed is what your girlfriends parents have then how they make this much money...
Adsense is NOT dead...at least for me. I'm making $xxx / day with only one site, and most of their traffic are from Google Search.
And you named the reason adsense is dying yourself. Because thousends of people did black hat stuff, advertisers got lower results from their investments, and you can figure out the rest for yourself
Lately I've been hearing all these reports about Adsense being dead, but a friend's cousin told his brother that they saw on the news a report about Adsense coming back from the dead to bite its victims. A zombie Adsense apocalypse is coming, just wait and see.
Man, adsense is not dead, you only need to know how optimize your ad for your visitors and get a good traffic.
Still holding strong at $45,000/year. BUT, I haven't grown in awhile and I worked like hell to keep it at that rate.
