took me since 2004 to get to where i am now, an lately working 12-14 hour days so in short hard work and good ideas that will attract users to your sites
Ionix, Is that 12-4 hrs/ day on adsense? I know this is not a get rich quick technique, but I can tell you I don't have 12-14 hrs/day for that. Do you have a whole bunch of sites? Thanks, Eddie
no i dont touch adsense codes much, and "working on adsense" is a waste of time, google can go bankrupt tommorow (their shares are plumeting right now) and i still be more or less fine, google are just one of the few advertisers i use (tho i seriously starting to hate them for utter shite support and opaque system) , thats 12-14 hours on programming new sites, mantaining old ones, answering support queries, moderating, mantaining servers etc etc for several huge sites you see, once you build sites that are usefull to people, have alot of features and have good support your traffic will grow exponentially (without spending a cent on SEO or advertising, word of mouth is the the best form of advertising) making "content" sites is pointless, make a good web based app instead that is usefull to people, something that cant be easily copied by wikipedia and scummy web masters stealing content
Not with AdSense, but with another ad publishing program. Anyway, I think your chances for success are great. But it may not be necessary to start another Website - have you looked at increasing the traffic to your existing Website?
Could you please mention here some of the important things to achieve that kind of goal. And also just tell me approx range of traffic per day i need to achieve that goal(200$/day)... I understand about the page view, still i want to know about the traffic range? Please suggest me. And what exactly i have to do except SEO to achieve the goal...? thanks wildstone
Maybe those who are making $200/day with adsense are too busy and have not got time to post in this forum
i already gave a few tips make a site thats useful to people not usefull to some google bot, all large sites such as this one, facebook, etc are big because they catered for users first advertising came later once they got big dont just made yet another made for adsense site or blog theres plenty of them... im not sure what you mean by traffic, 200,000 pageviews by 20,000 people a day will get you steady 200$ + a day, but once again this depends on different factors, hell it varies a shit load between my own sites some have alot of users but 1-2 pageviews while other have users surfing around for 20-30 minutes and the fact that in last 2 months adsense ecpms have been falling across the board doesn't help much or their wrists hurt from all the typing
actually ~240,000 visitors on the 9th (is it me or analytics is being slow to update?) across 6 sites according to analytics and thats down from the usual, this month has been terrible so far as i said earlier concentrate on making a useful site for your visitors and the traffic and money will come eventually
I'm confused with " Making content sites is pointless". How often do you update your websites and from where are your visitors coming - search engines, you payed for traffic or from 3rd party websites? Thanks
I think Ionix is trying to say that you need to build communities, not just static content sites or blogs where you post every day. Build a useful niche community, then get some folks interested and excited about it... YOU have to do all the legwork to keep things active and get new users and keep them coming back... That part can take a few years... once you get there you will know...
update sites? on my own? lol thats so 20th century i dont write any content, people do does the owner of this site make own content? yet he makes a bomb from us posting, by "content" sites i mean them 2-4page MFA sites all over the place, just ask yourself "is my site truly useful?" once the answer becomes "yes" the traffic will come i just provide the tools and good solid features and support, the traffic then follows, and yes it took many many years i was doing most of the "web 2.0" stuff before the word was coined (god i hate buzzwords) never paid a cent for advertising, most users come by word of mouth and the websites themselves by nature are "viral", search engine traffic is only 5-10% according to analytics @sockmoney, spot on my advice is same as google's, make a good site then worry about money not the other way around there are so many truly useful sites springing up every day, if the site is designed with a bot in mind it will fail more than likely, most of my sites are not crawlable by bots due to registered user areas or heavy use of ajax to make it simpler/faster to use features/services for human beings just go thru the alexa top 500 and ask yourself "why is this site where it is today?"
What's your niche if I may ask? Maybe now, but who updated your site when it was still a little baby if you haven't spend a cent on writers or advertisement? Do you have your own writers who write for free or it's kinda social site or forum?
But it's still content site My site is in entertainment niche. I have 2 writers, and with 2000 pageviews ( 3 months old...) I earn around 3-4$/day. It's about TV shows - season ended. Can't wait when it starts ( more traffic). It's not easy but when your readers are participating via forums, sending news, writing content, commenting and promoting your site you make it a lot easier for yourself and your site is way much better. So yes, I agree.
Adsense is not for everyone. From my little experince with it, adsense is a lot of work. It's a good idea get into affliates and experiment with inline ads
