    Hi,
    I know there have been a couple of threads on similar topics, but any additional info in this regard is very motivating to AdSense novices (like me). So, if you make over $3000 a month in AdSense revenues, could you share when your earnings really took off?
    Thanks

    I'm a little confused by your question because adsense earnings are a function of impressions, ctr, and cpc. Daily averages are just that - averages. There's nothing magical about increasing your average that suddenly makes your averages increase exponentially. I think you have the makings of a good poll/discussion here but the focus should be on the factors that make up the daily averages - not the averages themselves.

    For example, if earnings are based on impressions, ctr, and cpc, what would be the major factors affecting each of these three things that resulted in a significant increase in earnings?

    For impressions: At what point did your impressions take off? Page 1, 2, 3, 4 etc of SERPS, or "x" number of keywords ranked and at what ranking. (Granted - this depends on number of keyword searches) Was there something else that made a significant increase in your site's traffic?

    For CTR: What design implementations resulted in significant ctr increase?

    For CPC: What TOU-friendly practices have you discovered that have significant increased your average CPC?

    And so on.

    I'd be very interested to hear what people have to say about the above, as long as it's within Google guidelines of course.

    $3000/month is a big roller? I make quite a bit more than that, and I think it sucks LOL When I hit 5 digits instead of 4, I might be a little happier.

    Even im not UPS yet....I 'only' earn between 2K-5K a month...but I am damn proud of it..lol

    But ever since I passed the $1/day mark my income grew exponentially. Once you get the hang of it, just repeat what you have already done.

    If you don't mind sharing, how long did it take you to go from $1/day to 2-5K/month? And also did you just start building more sites, or did you focus on imporving existing sites, or perhpas a little bit of both?

    I started out with one site; a small forum.

    I was only earning pennies a day casue i didn't know jack about adsense and I only had a single, small website. Then I decided to read all the material about adsense I could get my hands on and as I learned more, my earnings grew. I purchased several ebooks some good others not. And kept working at it.

    Then I built some more sites. I have 25 sites total. Most of my earnings are derived form the 'info page' strategy I read about. To learn about info pages, sign up for my newsletter.

    It took me a year before I was earning several grand a month.
