    So, how many people here have an adsense success story to share?

    How many people here make a decent income from adsense? No, I'm not talking about $50/month or anything like that - I want to hear some success stories - how long have you been using Adsense?

    $50/month would be a success story for me...

    I bet mine is the only one >>Google calls a success story :)

    ..that was a few years ago, but i'm still generating ~$2k-$3k in Adsense.. that combined with ~$1k from Kontera and an additional $1500 from IDG TechNetwork makes for a pretty successful hobby..

    You are a true inspiration. I just want to start by generating ANY income. Do you administer your websites full time? Or do you have a day job besides your rich-making hobby?

    That's a pretty nice income.
    I was gonna check out your signature but it appears that the site's server can not be found.

    I don't have any "success" story, but I make a nice deal of money from various advertising networks. =)

    Never had any good experience with addsenc, its because it needs a lot of hard work.

    oh, I though you are making at least 10 grand per month. I think you should take less time for slapping noobs and more time on adsense. ;)

    I only have a few sites, but yes i admin them myself.. and, yes, i still have a day job.. back in 2008 when I was hitting $10k-$14k month i was ready to quit my job but i'm glad i didnt.. (almost) overnight things changed and i was down to barely $3k/mo.. It's back up in the $6k/mo neighborhood now but i learned my lesson..

    When i first started in 2006, i was happy just to make $2-$3 per day! You can read thru all of my ebook posts in my blog, to see some of the things i did that got me over that $1k/mo barrier..

    My adsense success story is in the year 2010 (I started at the end of 2003) when I made my record month of over 25,000 euros and the overall year with over 160,000 euros
    in euros : http://www.best-reviewer.com/how-much-money-does-james-colin-make-1976.htm
    in us dollars : http://www.best-reviewer.com/how-much-money-does-james-colin-make-1977.htm

    In the previous years the money has been good enough to allow me to have a good income without the need for a boss or even customers.

    I would say my adsense success story is to be able to make a living without the need to work, because computing is a hobby and not a work for me.
    Yes some people can make a living without working, such as successful artists or those who are born in wealthy families, but me I couldn't have done such a thing if not for internet and ways to earn online such as adsense and other ad networks.

    HI think there are very few around here who really earn serious bucks adsense or anything else
    And even few that will admit clear how much they earn ...
    Most of forums users just strugle to earn a bit ....

    My most Adsense earnings was like 900$ in a month
    I now rebuild the sites network i have as i like for 1 year 2 years own no site now i'm back i aim at 3k/month at least from Adsense alone ...

    If you cant connect to the server then you are on an IP naughty-list.. You might want to check that..

    James, I love the How much I made since you visited. Did you make it or found it somewhere? Hilarious but epic.

    Meh, I'm not into the "I made it" story yet, I went from usually $30 a month to $400/m in 3 months but to me, earning $1000/m is minimum before I'd say I made it. Adsense isn't that good on my sites.

    No I am not listed on any "naughty-list". I have never spammed or done anything that migh be considered
    wrong online or worth an IP-ban. I can access any other website on the web, just not yours.

    Anyways, I visited it though a proxy and it looked really good. I left a comment at the CPM-ad network post
    as well. I hope the stupid block will dissapear. Do you have any country block or something like that?
    Because I'm from Sweden.

    All I can say is, I am not successful in adsense as I still got cents everyday.
