$130 So Far This Month

Thats really good.
But you must have a low CTR and eCPM. I could have earned more with that volume of traffic.

 

I'm sorry I will not reveal my niche or my site. I've learned that revealing anything on DP simply breeds your own competition. That's why I have no links in my signature.

 

Thats a good amount but you may want to take a look into some adsense ebooks etc find out what the higher paying keywords are and market around that

 

Great going... Keep up the good work and best of luck for your future.

 

Some wise words Gort . I agree, dont write for the money, write about what you enjoy.
I also like to build a non-blog website. I'm not sure how I would do with a blog as I've never done one.
I have an advantage as I am a web develeper anyway.

I'd still love to know how the heck you got all that traffic though . How old is your site?

 

great work! time of year my earnings are definitely up as well.

 

i dont know what im doing wrong then my google adsence has dropped big time since end of november

cant understand it myself - traffic still there if not more busier but no more revenue MAD

all the best thou gort and i dont blame you not giving away your url

but the bit about DP ( you saying you know about DP giving out urls for copycats )

you have only got 20 posts so how does that work then LOL

 

I thiink you need to tweak your ad format. That amount of traffic should be getting you a lot much more adsense income
Congrats however because you are well on your way

 

Little over a year.

 

I agree with Gort, let me supplement his rant with a sidekick of my rant:
- Stop making blogs about "how to make money online" -- Most of those people that make money by making a "how to make money online" blog, are either (a) lucky because they were the first to do it or (b) professional con artists that have developed a skill to write BS.
- Don't make a blog/website that you wouldn't read about yourself! (If you get bored of reading a competition's site, there's your sign).
- Stop thinking that some magical SEO / layout / web design / programming / program, will get you instant success, it takes a lot more effort than that.
- Don't copy/paste articles/information.
- Don't try to cheat google using some SEO trick you heard about on some blog.
- Stop thinking you're good enough to be successful in this business, don't assume your competition is weaker/less-smart. It may take years of hard work to be successful (yes years; sometimes never), do not assume there are any sites that take off and become famous within weeks/months (those who claim are lying or are companies with huge funding).
- Do not use blogspot, do not buy OR steal OR copy templates from some site for your blog. (get a designer or design it yourself).
- Becareful of the information you read on DP... Many are scams, con artists, liars... Sometimes they will give you false hope "You can do it too!" or "Yes you can make 500$ like me" or "Yes, your site can be successful soon!" these are just false hope posts created to drive traffic to a "how to make money online" blog.
-Don't fall for topics with titles like "I made $50,000 this month", the people that make that much don't post on here except maybe Shoemoney.

 

if youre getting that good of traffic... monetize it better. use affiliate programs instead of PPC adsense.

 

Ya. I use some affiliate stuff. The vast majority of my income comes from it. Adsense only makes up about 1/3 of my money. Today I've started toying with adsense placement to try to boost the clicks. We'll see what comes of that.

 

Congrats dude. Good luck on your new ads placement.

 

Nice job. You must have some high-paying keywords. Actually, with that amount of traffic it probably doesn't matter.

Yes, tweaking your placement AND your ad design can greatly affect your CTR.

 

I broke $200 last night with adsense! Clickbank shown below too!

 

Gort,

More power to you for splitting up your income streams re: Clickbank.

Great job,
Nice one on Dec 9, wish my adsense account looked like that...

 

On Dec 9 that was Gort's Clickbank account stats - big difference.

Dean

 

Looks like playing with the Adsense placments has paid off then. Well done on breaking $200!

 

Well Done Gort! That's something to be proud of

However, with 13,000UVs/day should you be earning more?
I would presume so.. but I might be completely wrong, depending on niche and all

Good luck and hope you can hit the $500 asap

PS:Mind shooting us the PM of your url?
I like visiting successful sites (you are in my books )
