    Hey people,

    I am just sat here and can't help but question if the Adsense dream really exists?

    For me, I would need to be making atleats $100 at bare minimum a day to live off it yet I have been on an average of about $10 for a good while now.

    Sometimes it feels like it don't matter if I get more or less traffic my revenue remains almost the same.

    Anyone else feel the same or do you believe with enough work and effort it is possible to live the Adsense dream?

    It is indeed possible to live the Adsense dream provided you have enough targeted visitors and your niche is high paying :)

    for some the dream will be real and for some it won't. it matters not just how hard you work but how smart you work. if you're trying to make a living off of adsense then you'll have to have a site that people will be interested in even if you're not. of course you need a way to get traffic there. if you find the right combination of site and traffic, you'll be successful.

    This seems to suggest you need a high paying niche. This is far from the truth. You can make $10,000 a day from $0.01 clicks just the same as you can from $2.00 clicks it depends on your traffic. High paying niches tend to have little traffic. Low paying niches tend to have higher traffic, this levels it out really. So high paying niches are not a necessity.

    It is possible as people do achieve this. So very real. Just experiment and try to find that winning combination.

    In the game of adsense earning, traffic is equally important as that of niche. It is true that high paying niches are highly competitive because of their worth but have a balance between these two factors and see which is the better way to go depending on the nature of traffic and type of niche you have :)

    I use adsense and make enough to support the cost of having my sites and my domain buying habit, but I use other things to make money on my sites that is more stable

    One thing that i can tell you is that Adsense is not "GET RICH SOON" program but in the long run it will help you get a stable income on a regular basis.

    Whatever your volume of traffic might be... the quality is what matters. Its only through the quality of traffic that you can improve your earnings :)

    I`m currently averaging around $35 dollars a day, and 6 weeks ago I was only averaging $3 a day. It is possible to get good income from Adsense, but you have to try different things until you find a niche that is working and then KICK THE NICHE`S ASS. I`ve been spending 3 hours a day for the past 6 weeks adding content for my low-paying niches, because I noticed that these niches were having good results on a small scale. I quickly discarded niches that were not having results on a small scale. When you find one that`s good, hit it hard and KEEP DOING IT. You usually don`t see the results of your efforts until a few weeks later, so don`t get discouraged and stop if you don`t get immediate results.

    I`m confident I can be getting $100 a day by Christmas if I keep doing what I`m doing.

    Oh, as the guys above said, my low paying niches are making me the most money. It`s easy to make content for them and get visitors, so I find it easier than higher paying niches that require specific knowledge that I have to research.

    i dont think one could live off of adsense alone. Well not here in the US at least, unless your site is getting 20 million hits a day...
    I think you need to combine, check out some affiliate advertising, in my opinion thats where its at...

    I don't really make much out of it and still far from real second income to me.

    I know someone who earns $250 a day which is ok to live off from adsense. Thats around 10,000 visitors a day.

    Now stop giving out stupid advice!

    there's nothing more to be said really but of course it depends what your AdSence "dream" is .. I said elsewhere that out blog has been running a week with only a few articles on about renovation in France and we've made $30 from a tiny amount of content. Ultimately we are using all the AdSence revenue to contribute to the renovation and we've set ourselves a target of $3000 so it'll pay for a small Solar Array to which we'll revue and that'll draw in more traffic...

    As everyone here says it's all about traffic, you have content and they will come ;)

    there is no secret to adsense, it's all about traffic. you get the traffic, you place the ads, you get the money. it's just that simple.

    I make a decent amount from Adsense...the dream is real. But I make more money doing programming/marketing projects not related to Adsense :)

    The adsense dream can become reality. The only thing that one need is traffic. With traffic, you can make $100 or more per day with adsense.
