Digital Point still makes $10,000/month from adsense?

    Waaaaay back in 2006 Shawn was making (and talking about) $10,000/month from adsense - has that figure increased? (grown like a good business should)

    I can't find any recent press regarding DP or Shawns HUGE stack of money :)
    here's the original article
    http://www.nytimes.com/2006/01/16/t...1210338376-t9uxHJKRdN3P1nuXBzUs3A&oref=slogin

    i have recenly opened my own business forum and the earnings per click are great..It just crossed my mind that Shawn might be catching up with the likes of PlentyofFish etc :confused:

    It would be interesting to know if all the format changes to adsense over the years have resulted in a growth/fall in earnings - does ad blindness play it's part now that we are all used to adsense?

    regards
    James.

    I think Shawn makes more from banner sales and direct advertising. I highly doubt DP makes a lot of money from Adsense.

    DP would surely be making good bucks from adsense... sitepoint owner Matt has made a lot of money through his forum and marketplace too. So, DP being in a similar niche should be making a lot of money too.

    Check out the money made by the top young internet website owners in the following list

    Hmm..., I'm though this is a secret that never been revealed here...

    But, I think Shawn still have his own alternative resource besides of DP forum.
