Taken from Joel Comm's video segments: WHY MOST PEOPLE FAIL: - Unreasonable Expectations - Give up too easily - DOnt play with the program - Not investing time/money in business - No continuing detailed adsense education - Goes on shortcut roads
People fail at Adsense because they are just plain lazy. Once they give up, they resort to desperate measures (such as gaming the program).
Whoever this Joel Comm is, he really knows his stuff. I mean, I never would've figured those complex reasons were why people give up on AdSense. As much as his video does sound like a waste of time, the valued point is there. I've worked with AdSense since March to start earning about $100 a week. It does take time.
Laziness is a pretty big reason. I'm still fairly new, but I never once asked for a step by step instruction on how to make money online. I ask for tips and stuff. Never ceases to amaze me how many people come on here hoping for some one to hold their hands.
Here's my list: People start sites and don't stick with them People don't bother posting original content People don't realize they will have to do some link building to get traffic People are always looking for huge secrets, but the reality is most people fail because they don't realize building websites for money is something that takes time (i.e. more than a year to really get to the point where you're making a decent income). There are always exceptions, but there are more people who slowly but surely plod through the hard times and build sites that become good resources for their niche.
Laziness is one of the reasons.. but, there are lots of other issues like clicking on own ads while getting frustrated of take other blackhat methods.
The main thing is no traffic to the site, why no traffic? because of there lazy to build traffic or the topic created not what people want to know and the content not helping the reader, (MFA) site. The truth is there is no easy way to get money This is just my opinion. Cheers
I've been frustrated a couple of days in the last few weeks, but never once have I thought to click my own ads. Not worth a couple of cents to lose my account.
Lazyiness is number one cause. People expect to set up some adsense ads on a cheap blog, walk away, and then make thousands. They don't want to work, they want their money served to them on a silver platter with a side of more money. Many people don't realize it takes time and patience to make money with adsense, not to mention TRAFFIC!
Most important or one of the most important reason why people fail is google adsense is - When people search on quick way to make money online they fall for sleezy illegal methods that gets them banned from google. e.g, auto surf programs, link or banner exchange services.
I Agree completly .. It take me almost one year to earn more than 1k.. work work, investing and more work
most people think it's really easy to make money on the internet when they find out it isn't they give up usually
I think people also fail to understand what "decent" traffic is. If you're only getting a couple of hundred people a day visiting your site, you're more than likely not going to be making the big bucks. I'm sure there's a few people out there who are able to pull off a decent earning with that small of a traffic, but the majority of the time, you're going to need traffic.
