Good to see a lot of members have got something out of this thread. As a reminder, here are the questions to respond to: 1. Your AdSense goal for next month 2. How you plan to achieve it 3. What you are going to spend the extra dosh on Public and action focused goal setting is very productive, so if you haven't already get involved and 'call your shot'.
I've almost completely changed to chitika now, I struggled to meet my goal ($50/day) with adsense and never actually got above $44, no matter how many visitors I got - and I get quite a lot I kept getting 0.3 clicks. With chitika I'm now averaging $70 a day and I'm sure I'll reach $100/day soon by finding new products and adding ads to more pages. The extra dosh will be saved up for now. The dream is to be able to buy a house somewhere warm
I make 10$ a month so far with one site 1. i want to make +-20 by the end of the year 2. i started a new site. as soon as this one gets some clicks i'll update the old one 3. spend the money on another site, and set the goal for next year higher
My Adsense goal for next month is $250.00 I plan to reach this by spreading the word about my site by adding an RSS feed (Done this week) and sending out a formal press release to all related Macintosh sites regarding my sites 1 year anniversary and the adding of RSS. I also have added Chitika to help with the revenue. I plan to put the extra money towards hosting costs and advertising the site with Adwords.
My new goal is $120 a day within this month, I plan to archive it with more traffic and getting repeat traffic, I added a signup for a newsletter and got 50 subscriptions on the first day.
My goal is $100 a day. I dont expect to achive it over night though. Its going to take lots of reading and lots of website tweaking
I started with adsense on Nov 1st with one of my websites. I made chump change the first week - did some research, optimized my site for the keywords I wanted and made $50 the second week, on a mere 100 unique visitors a day. I expect to make a total of $100 by the end of the month. My goal for next month, is $1,000, which I intend to make by adding more content to four other sites I have, optimizing them for the keywords I want, adding the adsense code, generating some traffic for them (at least 200 uniques a day), and updating on a daily basis. My biggest challenge, since the rest comes pretty easy to me, is generating 'good' traffic! By good traffic, I mean traffic that matters - visitors that aren't just part of the random flow but who are part of my 'target' audience.
i am hovering in the $15.00 to $25.00 daily range. i want $50.00 a day next month but would settle for a steady $30 =D
You may find it valuable to look back on this thread / where you were at, what you were shooting for and consider what you want to aim for now. The questions were: 1. Your AdSense goal for next month 2. How you plan to achieve it 3. What you are going to spend the extra dosh on
I'm still pretty new to adsense thingy, and my site sucks, and using a blogger platform with a .blogspot.com as a domain ! But i do aim to hit $20 a day next month. Been having $5 - $15 already, just hope to stabilize it. And of course to get more traffic from google. so it means creating more contents, and more contents, and more contents. The money ? I have no idea, probably keep it somewhere until i have a better idea of what to do with it. Maybe buy some nice PR5 links with it. Oh yah. GO ME !
my goal is averaging 20$ a day before end of june july and august will be strong months for me (due to main site subject) longer goal is 40$ a day before end of the year 40 bucks a day is no more no less than 1000 euros a month
Well it has been awhile since I ammended this but I must admit I had some pretty good development whilst maintaining a goal set last time - helped keep me focused. So anyway I will quickly recap where I'm at. I achieved my October ($224) and November ($376) goals - both well above what I has set. Whilst I didn't have a goal for December my goal was to earn $300 in January, well in December I earned nearly double my January goal, $535, and January was looking to eclipse that when with 8 days left in the month my sites earning's plumetted to around $3 - I believe to the fact that most of the advertisers in the industry that my sites are about stopped using adwords or (what I believe) Google actually removed them for being malicious. Either way it hurt my earnings. I have only now just recoverd - Febuary earnings were low at $255 but that included 3 days of complete downtime and many crashes inbetween not to mention it being a naturally short month. I have since put in a lot of work and March is going fairly well averaging around the $15 mark, not quiite December and January marks but getting close. This can largely be contributed to better optimisation and greatly increased traffic. So that was a brief summary (that turned out to be long - sorry). Now for the new goals: Short Term: To earn over $500 for the month of March. Medium Term: To earn over $700 for the month of April. Medium-Long Term: To earn over $1000 a month in May. Wish me luck.
