No... looked like someone click-bombed me ..i didn't have logs, tried hard to convince them by sending them emails .. but as arrogant as they are ;-) they wouldn't listen.. it was good till it lasted ;-)
Google as dropped click value considerably over the past few months so you're going to need more traffic to reach your goal. I earn around that per month and that is with 20k clicks....
I make about $750 a month for playtouchgames.com. I've got an average CTR of 1.66% and a CPC $0.12. This site was pretty much a fluke though - I got lucky making the site at just the right time. The first month I made about $200, the second month about $400, and the next month was December - huge iPod Touch sales, and it showed. So I guess my advice would be to make a unique site at the right time. Timing seems to be everything.
Lots of unique content and lots of links in to your sites. Thats it. Oh yes, and of course keyword-domains. Thats it. oh yes, and of course goooooooood SEO.
I just reached $30 for the month, this is the most i've made. It's my 5th month with adsense. My earnings have been steadily climbing. Hopefully, next month I'll reach $50!
Yeah I also think like that, google dropped click value, but some of the keywords are getting high payment.
I would agree, it blows my mind to see growth rates like those mentioned above. Of course, I may be in the wrong niche. I've seen steady growth as I've worked to increase my traffic, but I have a loooooong way to go before I earn $500 per month. I guess I need to get that ebook.
The eBook is free.. no spam, no strings -it's helped give a lot of people some good ideas and encouragement, but there's no guarantees.. and FYI, it's not your standard "download PDF" ebook.. you just read it, page by page in the blog.. nothing to loose except for 15 minutes of your life..
Its all about traffic. You need a good paying niche and at least 5000 hits per day. If you get these 5000 hits pday and a ctr of close to 5% then you are in the money.
It that had any truth to it I would be a millionaire. I personally think Google controls every single site and the ads that will be displayed. Since my sites are getting a lot of hits my earnings dropped considerably. If traffic goes down, click values go up. Simple as that
