$50/month Adsense Revenue

I have blog site. It's been up for 7 months and traffic is not that great. I only make about $1-$2 range a month. I blog once a week. I need some suggestion on how increase my traffic and at least start making $50/month. How long does it take to make this amount and how much traffic do you need to reach this level?

 

Looks like you need to increase your traffic by 50 times to make $50.00 dollars a month

 

blog everyday.And more content.

 

what's your blog address?

But off the top I'd think you need to blog at least twice per/week
Initially, once per week just doesnt seem enough to attract many people

 

Like others have said you need to post more often. What is the topic of your site?

 

Try and adjust your ad positions to try and increase your CTR.

That's all i can suggest.

 

My blog deals with treatment for health problems that traditional doctors prefer pushing drugs...and people then depends on the drugs and no cure.

My Blog is:

Blog4Cure.com

 

You might wanna start with adding more than 4 posts a month. Content brings traffic.

 

What about link building and SEO. I purchased a 1/day subscription to WordTracker and did some optimizing. I have putting in some time in Blogging for month of May. Can you make decent money with Adsense or better put your time on something else? What is great CTR and industry average CTR?

 

All those things you are doing is fine, but it's still all about the content unless you can afford to bring people over from advertising. I see that you're using Wordpress. That means 90% of the SEO is already done for you when you installed Wordpress. Concentrate on adding content. The more content you have, the more chances someone will find you.

 

I think you need to add the Large Rectangle or Medium Rectangle instead of what you have since the ones you using now is ok but when traffic comes and clicks they have to first click the ad then they have to click again; so your not getting paid on the first click unlike the other ads....Also you may want to start another blog also if one blog isnt doing good the other one can pick up the slack. I'm still learning myself. I just start with my adsense on april 11th an i'm 3 dollars from getting my first check. Trying to get 50 dollars a month shouldnt be that hard; However if i was you i would set my goal at 100 dollars since the min. to get a check is 100 bucks..

good luck

 

Also choose the right keywords of the field you know, and get some trafic.

 

Wfhnow,

you mean rather than having Ad in LinkUnit have it in a box. I didn't get what you mean by "When the traffic comes and clicks they have to first click the ad then they have to click again; so your not getting paid on the first click unlike the other ads". You can you explain little better....

 

this sounds scary

 

Has anyone quit their job and doing this full time to make a decent living?

 

Is english a second language for you? You might need someone to proofread your posts.

 

I will ask my girl friend to take a look. Now I quit my job, I need to earn some money from Adsense. How many people are doing this full-time?

 

There is nothing magic or earning quickly by Adsense .. Work is needed .

 

yer, having backup job is neede if ou are just starting 'adsense'. I'm new too but it seems to take time. Although I use adsense just to support the fees of the webhosting..

 

I think I am stuck at making $2 month. I need to do something different to the site to make more money. If blog every day, it would give me traffic. But most ads clicks come from search engine. I get my traffic in MSN. Google, I get 1 or 2 hits a month. Very poor.
