Made over $200 a day this month for the first time ever. Quite happy with that achievement. Thanks god, I finally found good AdSense niches and my sites don't suffer from the dreaded 'nickels and dimes syndrome'. Symbiotic, NicheGeek, NicheBot - thank you, thank you, thank you. And thank you Google for the money.
The little traffic I have driven to my test site has been pretty encouraging. My CTR has been pretty positive, and I think the payouts have been pretty reasonable (except for a .03 click ) I think when I completely figure out what I'm doing, and go with real sites, I'll do pretty well.
I want to compliment on your mini-site idea. That's excellent, gave me a few new thoughts. I'll steal your http://starbucks-nutrition-facts.com/ idea for other things, if you don't mind. Hell, I'll promote your site on RedDit right now.
adsense has changed my thinking from better selling things to better content and traffic site. i now dont work towards a specif niche that i think can sell more but to a good content that i like and care about. i can now monotise any kind of site that i like and not the other way around.
Adsense has really changed my life... Not only does it make me earn money, it does help in increasing one's character, confidence, will power, patience, internet SEO and other marketing and IT skills and really make the world a better place to live.. Since I like to travel, I hope with Adsense revenue, I can travel around and see new people, faces and cultures and hopefully expand the Adsense Empire even further just like what Sergey Brin (co-founder of Google says in his statement : "The Power of Google's Technology is its scalability, across languages, across cultures... across geographies.... haha") .. Last but not least, I don have to worry about my future as I put all my trust on Google...
3 weeks, 10 sites (5 with adsense) later i've made about $9. *rolls eyes* I'm assuming this is what they call "the hard part".
i average around 450 visits per month and on average i make 25c per click. making that around $112 per month which isnt bad IMO
That means 448 people click at 25cents/click.... 448 clicks X .25 = $112 448 clicks and 450 visitors... ? You must have really high CTR... or I'm just not thinking properly.
