    Hi guys, i have a question, is it hard to become an adsense rich from outside the united states? Tonight, i lost my motivation and i feel like i'm wasting my time for 3 years.

    I found this article related, it motivated me a bit.

    http://aftnews.com/2008/08/19/is-it-hard-to-make-money-online-outside-of-the-united-states/

    But i need real success stories from outside the united states. I'm really confused to concentrate on a Russian web site or an English content web site. If i don't give up tonight, i would never give it up.

    Portuguese ad market sucks, lots of clicks with no value or below 5 cents.

    come on, there are a lot of problogger outside of US making tonnes of money online.

    For example, Darren, from Problogger in Australia. Even here in Malaysia and India there are a lot of people making money online.

    So location is not the reason for not making money online. Trust me :)

    It is called determinition !

    it's same in many languages. English sites make the most but the competition is a lot. (especially this year is very very much)

    No matter where you live, you can make some good money with adsense. Yeah, traffic from USA and UK will help to earn more, but location where you live, does not matter.

    Generally if you are outside the United States, there will be a slight disadvantage. First of all, since you are not living there, it's hard to understand the current market condition or knowing the latest development and happenings. Well let's just face it, most traffic or buyers actually comes from the States.

    Although we can always read the news, but people would have a better idea if they are actually present and witness it themselves. However, to say that it's really hard to make money is not true because if you put in enough effort and do your market research well, the obstacle can be removed.

    Many in the online business are of the opinion that they can make quick bucks from net but the fact is that online earning is as hard as offline earning or still harder than offline business especially if you do not understand the intricacies involved in it. Earning from adsense too follows similar practice; while the location does matter in adsense as far as traffic is concerned, there are many successful people outside US, earning tons...
    What matters a lot is hard work, perseverance, determination and the will to win. Best of luck:)

    I have some websites in german for the German / Austrian / Swiss market and they are very good performers.

    Really: Language and Country are not soooo important I think, as long as the market is big enough and you drive good traffic to your sites.

    It is very hard if adsense does not support the language of your country. Hopefully adsense will support my native language soon.

    I'm from the UK and my Adsense success has been fairly satisfying. I do however, run a large site with predominantly US traffic so I suppose I am not the best person to be giving my views on this.

    No. It doesn't depend on the countries... It depends on the content,traffic and niche.

    i have been in making website around last 2 - 2.5 years but i seriously thought about making money from it about 1 year ago, the first dollar i made was from adsense, and i am yet to get it as a cheque (that explains the adsense part)
    I was also here to make money quick, i guess i tried a lot of things read a lot of ebooks but seriously have not done the hard work it is needed to make money, my lesson is whether online or offline Making Money is Not Easy but Those who are PERSISTENT will get through and make a Fortune for themselves. Never ever give up my friend, opportunities are like buses there's always one more coming, just get on another one :) Be positive and have a nice day...

    No its not hard, im in the UK, it has nothing to do with the country you live in, it just means you have not found what works for you yet.

    So many people blame smart pricing, location etc etc, its all nonsense.

    Im not making much from adsense yet but thats nobodys problem but mine, it means im not good enough yet at what i do.

    Your location is not an hindrance to earn money only even if you're from outside of the US. As long as you provide your visitors with great content, sooner or later all your hard work will be paid off.

    I'm from the UK and my Adsense is very good for the amount of visitors I get. Get a lot of traffic from the USA who seems to click on the ads the most ;)

    Website with non english content have lower success potential with AdSense, but you still can do it.

    Never, never give it up.

    unique content, good promotion and nice ad placement will earn you money no matter where you are

    don't worry and continue to enjoy adsense and play with it, you'll learn...

    Yes the US is the centre of the universe, lest us not forget. All news originates and is generated in the USA of course. Anything happening outside of the US is of no interest to anyone whatsoever.

    Websites in ENGLISH make the most money, this does include USA, but as the language suggests, ENGLAND and other english speaking countries make just as much money from adsense. Ignorant america strikes again. No wonder the rest of world hates you.
