I been with Adsense over a year now and it first I was getting a click here, click there.. I read all kinds of information and bought all kinds of books and all the time, the facts I needed were right in my face.. It relies on a specific formula.. Content, backlinks, visitors, and clicks.. If you can find out how to get all four in the mix, you can could make a decent amount of money. I am increasing my earnings everyday with content on my blog and from the articles I write.. I am almost close to payout even though I just started doing this consistently about 2 months ago.. I am pleased to say it is well worth it and determination and consistency is the key.. Hope this helps anyone that is trying to make money with adsense..
i have heard a lot of mixed story. Some said it work perfectly until google close their acct for no reason (can't tell if that person is subject to click bomb attack).
I make decent amount of money from adsense to feed my affiliate sites promotion and outsourcing stuff. So yeah, it is a pretty good business model if you work in a right direction with proper research and strategy, IMO.
I agree that Google adsense is not the best source to make money online. But if you want to make money from PPC, Google Adsense is the best.
Roughly $2600 per year. It doubled last winter when I took my one super-huge redwood page and reduced to it to merely big by spreading the content to 40 new pages. The redwood pages account for half my entire website traffic. Just noticed a huge spike in clicks the past few days and don't know if its the new leaderboard ad format or because I tweaked a couple of pages. Adsense is not my main thing. Services are. But it was nice for Adsense to eventually not just offset my webhosting expense, but cover my hiking fuel cost and motel. That in turn gets fed back into the website.
I thought it had everything to do if Adsense pays or not... this is an adsense forum not a "popular" sit forum.
you are right, people go the wrong way when they start bothering about adsense and not their site traffic. like terabyte said, traffic = money
Yes, I make real money with adsense. You need to find a niche that people are hungry for more information. Put content on the site that people are searching for. Then, promote, promote and promote some more.
