I am currently running two sites: (check sig below) and have been using adsense for about a year needless to say i have found it tough to make good money. What i am looking for is real success stories. Adsense earners who have started on a low or no budget and are now living off their adsense earnings? If you don't want to reveal your secrets on this thread you can pm me Thanks
Well I started about 10 months ago. It is really a tough job. More time consuming and less paying than a 9 to 5 job. But I am still able to manage $300 to $400 a month mostly from my financial web pages. Others are just for potential future earning..
Thats really good 10 months work $300 - $400 per month. I take it from the lack of response to this thread most adsense earners on this forum have spent a lot of money for their adsense success?
Back in 2005 I made a website and started experimenting with adsense. After plenty of illegal implementations, I got banned. In 2006 I made a small media streaming website and placed an adsense right ontop of the embed media player. That made $2/ month. (new account). In 2007 after I got engaged to my fiance, I came up with an idea that incorporates Myspace/ Music and TV stations. I worked feverishly for 1 month on it (October of 2007). I delayed all my PhD related projects (genetics research) and really worked my ass off. From design to code, I decided to make it perfect. I would show it to my fiance or ask her to browse the site. If she got confused or got lost, I would change the layout. First few months I had 200 page impressions/day but the client loyalty was 100%. Everyone who came to my site got glued. November and December paycheques were $200-300 (2007). Then it picked up. My best has been $2300 and average is at $1400/month. Per month I get close to 16,000 clicks. But since my niche is music, TV streaming, the value is crap but still manages to make over $1k. My friend owns Automobile.com and he gets 9,000 clicks and makes $7000/month. Hence the importance of niche. Now I am focusing on my research and google adsense is like the best scholarship for grad school ever !!! What I learnt: Quick and dirty websites to make quick money = ZERO SUCCESS RATE COME UP WITH AN IDEA, BE PASSIONATE ABOUT IT, FORGET ADSENSE, FORGET TRAFFIC, DO IT AS A CHALLENGE AND MAKE A SITE THAT YOU YOURSELF WOULD LIKE TO VISIT REGULARLY = PLENTY OF SUCCESS !!!
what do you mean? lol, i am getting it pretty quick and dirty, but at same time i am trying to develop a long term website as wel
Quick and dirty websites to make quick money = ZERO SUCCESS RATE COME UP WITH AN IDEA, BE PASSIONATE ABOUT IT, FORGET ADSENSE, FORGET TRAFFIC, DO IT AS A CHALLENGE AND MAKE A SITE THAT YOU YOURSELF WOULD LIKE TO VISIT REGULARLY = PLENTY OF SUCCESS !!![/QUOTE] very true! you can check out gameproducer's success story, he has an ongoing thread at DP
it means that don't make an ugly ass website with google ads all over it and interfere with user experience.... make it like a site that you would like to visit. And focus on one particular niche. If there is something that u are good at, or know a lot about it... then just focus on that niche and you will be successful. Don't go make a blog on skin care just for the sake of good adsense yet your field of expertise is in knitting woolen shawls ... My myspace/music/TV site is purely based on my early days as a myspace addict with tremendous passion for music ...
Ohh their are many good success stories , i hope i will post mine too soon in future , working hard and creating quality content as much as i can .But thanks for sharing your story ShoeGuru sir .
my story begins in way back 2002 when i first came to know about adsense , that time i was completing my graduation so i left it aside and began working on it from 2005 after getting a job in the whole 2005 , 2006 i got only $200 from adsense., the reason is that i made a site and never looked at it after , my friends and co-workers know about them and no one else ... but i got traffic from search engines as well...in those 2 years i got around 30000 uniques and some nice clicks to get close to $200. Then i seriously took it , studied a lot of ebooks , watched tons of videos , thrown cash in making some nice websites with content ....... my first luck was in oct 2007 , that month i made $568 bucks. Now i have about 20 websites and blogs , i avg, about $1k - $2k a month from these sites with adsense... Note : as said above , you have to really workhard to get those figures , update content regularly , put tags , increase backlinks , increase search engine exposure with top placings with some nice keywords and choose the niche which you know in and out....not just follow someone blindly if he says , this niche is good and all.... Good Luck to you all
After one year I get 400-500$/month with AdSense. You can go both ways, make small, set-up and forget sites about things you know nothing about, and most of the times you can not expect to earn big from them, but the more sites you make, money adds up. Or you can really dedicate everything to one site about something you love, make it perfect in such way that the users will love it. By doing that you can really score big.
About 3 years ago I pointed a few k of DP Coop weight at a page about a well known travel company. I ranked number 2 or 3 on MSN for a few months. During that time I made between $100 and $300 a day from Adsense. Alas that strategy doesn't work anymore.
Do any of you folks have a back up plan in place like other affiliations or other forms of revenue earners,the reason i ask is that if you build up a really good adsense revenue website and for what ever reason they then ban you it sounds to me like all of your eggs in one basket job,and we all read about how people do loose there accounts and this is a real fear of mine although i have about 30 websites covering a wide range of topics and also other affiliations like CJ and affiliate futures,amazon and Ebay. Are people worried about having all there eggs in one basket,any thoughts on this one !!! Mega........
All depends how you define success, I suppose. We pretty much live off our AdSense earnings and affiliate income here. There's other bits but those are the main two. We typically average around $10k a month in AdSense, but have had months in excess of $15k in the past.
Just had a look at your Forums and they are big and very popular subjects well done but i notice you are using still using phpBB instead of VB any reason ??? I understand that there is some software that people with dedicated adsense websites can install that tell the webmaster if click freud has taken place so that you can send it into Google to help you if you ever did loose your account does anyone have this software details please. Mega..........
Even i would like to know if any such software exist. DP please share your resource/secrets and help mankind
Harry i have just done some searching about this subject and have just found this site http://www.asrep.com/ this as i see it does all that i am looking for and could be used very well on big money earning Forums. Mega........
