Can my blog make decent money with adsense?

Discussion in 'AdSense' started by moneylizard, Jun 19, 2009.

    My blog, link in the sig, is about holidays, food and stuff like that. All of the posts are written by myself and 100% unique content. I follow the rule that content is king. My traffic has risen pretty steadily over the last two months as I just started up again on it. I have tried to post at least 1 time per day.

    My traffic has gone from about 10 Uv per day to about 50 now, which is small I know, but in a small niche like mine, I am guessing it will take a bit longer to get higher numbers. This blog is 6 months old, but its really only about 2 months old in terms of what I put into it since I took like 4 months off from it.

    If I am to continue posting 1 post a day, down the road, lets say 6 months from now, do you think I will have enough visitors to make decent money from adsense? I only average like $2 per week right now with my low visitor count. Clicks range from .08 to .80.

    I just added adsense injection plugin to put 2 random ads in each of my posts. I don't have any home page ads, but hope to change my theme when my new logo is ready.

    Any advice from bloggers out there? I mean bloggers that believe content is king and not bloggers that own 1000 autoblogs.

    Thanks in advance!

    PS: all of my recent posts are keyword based using wordtracker to find hot keywords and google to check the competition. But my posts don't suffer from overstuffing of keywords.

    what technique for getting links would you recommend? Ive been trading links via linkmarket.net. I am getting a homepage PR5 link from a food blog by creating a banner for the website.

    I usually social bookmark my posts, or usually 1 of every 3 posts. I do this on around 10 different social bookmarking sites.

    Unless a blog is established, its hard to make any significant money really.
    Pick micro niche, that may help you earn better.

    Why can't this blog become established? 6 months from now... another 180 posts... if my 50 posts bring in 50 visitors a day in 2 months, wouldn't 230 posts 8 months down the road be bringing in many more visitors?

    This niche isn't huge... most of my posts rank top 10 for like 3 long tail keywords each and its only been 2 months. Won't time help with this also?

    I liked the theme and it didn't have spots for adsense, im currently looking for a wp theme that I can alter now as I am learning how to do that, so once I find the scheme that fits my new logo I plan on integrating adsense into the main page as well. Just not sure which theme to start with, I like my page to look nice ya know?

    your homepage looks like a parked domain. where is your content !?!
    Just add some interesting contents and a gateway. Gateways are the best choice for making money especially for beginners with nice niche content.
    CPA gateways can be used with google adsense too.

    Oh my god....
    number of posts is not equal to a higher % to make money on adsense.

    You can have a site with 100 posts, amazing content ---> If I have more links, more juice and more google love, I can outrank your site, even if my content is cr*p , and even even if I have 10 times less content.

    But, hey... there is some people here that keep thinking that Content is king... LMAO

    Content is King for CPA gateway users. But for adsense users traffic is the main thing. If the content is so great then who are going to click on ads ! Many great sites are buried under while useless parked domains are getting more pageranks. But no one can earn much with domain parking as most visitors will close the window immediately.

    For me Content is the King as i am using CPA Gateways

    I never said more posts is more money... I said more posts would be more traffic. My keywords are long tail and don't get a huge amount of searches each day, but my good keyword posts get like 10 searches a day each... so if I keep adding posts like this, it would be more traffic. so 40 posts gets 40-60 search traffic a day... 400 posts would be 400-600 searches a day. More traffic = more ad clicks.

    right?

    Why don't you point your 'few' blogs to a single blog/site. Thus you can have a controlled mastering of your blogs/sites. Whether it is adsense or anything, this method will help you to earn more. You just need to find a common topic for your 'few' blogs.

    best wishes :)
