doubling your traffic is fine but instead of doubling again you focus for a few days on adsense optimization by properly using targetable channels and optimizing formats/placements/colorschemes then double traffic also should result in double $ - you still have time to reach your goal before uni starts to ensure your funds for peace of mind during study which in the sig links is your site ??
if you plan first 100 in one year then you need greatest efforts to reach that goal but efforts in slowing down or better killing ANY productivity and avoiding strictly any efficiency because 100$ per months is possible for normal people in 1 or 2 months easily anything else requires efforts in OPPOSITE direction to kill success before success occurs as result of good work and honest publishing content Is that what you plan that makes you wait one year ... slow down success by avoiding productivity and efficiency ???
Well just wanted to post again and say that setting goals seems to be a great way to motivate myself to work harder (and it should for YOU too!). From my last post in this thread from about 4 days ago I was making about $25/day, however in the last few days it has kept rising steadily ($32 > $36 > $44 and yesterday ended the day with $68). The way today is going so far I should end up with about $90 for the day. Unfortunately I have to go to work and then out tonight which won't let me put up another site today, but tomorrow when I do, I think it will perform very well. I can feel that $100/day mark coming very soon, and thinking that it's only March 10th with 21 days to go, reaching my goal shouldn't be too hard. I'll let you know how it goes!
congrats i fully agree with u friends of mine started new domain some 2 weeks ago and meanwhile they have $35.78 on march 8 and work day after day creating more loving content that the world enjoys to see so i guess they too end up soon in a 100/d the secret recipe always is to do more of hwat brought u the first 100 visitors per day until you have an avalanche of visitors
My aim this month is to beat my current record of $370 from last month and hopefully get $400+. Already on $150+ this month but my black ass is getting smart priced so much.
Personally I don't think adsense optimization makes much sense before one has about a thousand visitors a day. Before that time it's better to just do basic blending and work on content building and promotion of the site. If I may be so blunt: your kriya yoga site needs a designer. My site is roughly in your niche - so I thought I'd look it over, but the way it is now I would not link to it, even if it did have quality content - it looks so spammy, my eyes hurt.
presently about $120/month from adsense (mostly from 1 site) short term goal $200/month in two months End of 07 $500/month
my only goal is that ma following month is better than last month, even for a cent, so far I'm going towards my goal
