Wow, I would go nuts if I had this check in my hand. I would literally punch the guy next to me and then give him $1000 as an apology and then give him another $1000 to punch the guy next to him.
Its real, it was reported by AdSense Whores by John Chow Its plentyoffish.com it isnt just a free dating site its the biggest, he was on MS mix channel 9 doing a radio broadcast. The site runs windows, it does 12,000,000 page views a day~ (i think) It runs on 1 box The cheque is CAD and was issued last year when the cad was weak against the dollar. Its for 3 months, not 1. Markus now gets it by EFT. It is real cause he has been on several news sites and there is plenty of videos on youtube (plentyoffish.. plentyofvideos?) He works about 1 hour a day. However, this is one example of how not to do it and how being reliant on just AdSense is a BAD business model. Okay he makes a nice piece of change, however match.com doesnt have as much traffic and racks in $200million a year... now which do you want? A site making 3.6million cad a year, or one making $200million? hmm... Pierce
That $900,000 is for 2 months of clicks. I wonder just how many relevant ads shows up in a month. Surely dating sites can't afford this much advertisement in 2 months. Say there's 500 dating sites using adwords and paying Google $100 a month. That's $50,000 and some of that goes to the owner of plentyoffish.com. If the advertiser's clicks run out already for that month, what it do? Show google public ads? Public ads don't pay much, maybe nothing at all. Surely, something is FISHY.
I don't get him. If he claims to make $900,000 in 2 months, that's $5.4 million a year, why would he want to sell the site for $5 mil, he virtually does nothing and make money.
He works out of an apartment with his girlfriend in Vancouver. It's not exactly doing nothing, either. I'd sell a million dollar a year business for a year, easily.
yea shoemoney doesnt make that much lol , and shoe told everyone he doesnt get cheques anymore he uses wire transfer And running a website is not doing nothing, people have no frigin idea what its like to run multiple sites, update them, SEO, get backlinks, its hard as hell so zip it!
Yep. That's why I love all those threads where people ask how to make quick AdSense money. It's hilarious. It's even better when they copy paste articles and expect to make more money! YIPEEE!
Its this kind of pictures that on 1 hand motivates people to work harder on their sites but on the other drives those "get rich quick" kinda people.
