I'm just getting started in all of this, so my goals are relatively small compared to some of the posters here. My goal is to get my second site launched by the end of September. I figure if I continue to add new content and optimize my pages, I should be able to make $1/day somewhere around November.
Ive been using adsense since July 05 and I mad almost $50/month last month, but i shut down my site to do some serious reworking right now I m currently working on the new version, a little older, a little wiser, and I'm working on launching a huge site I have some ideas that are new to the industry and Im hoping for big things in the next 6 months. I used to set goals when i just started and i would put a PostIt in top right corner of my screen... July - I put .60/day and 500 impressions/day and i made the impressions but ended up with .39 cents a day August - .80/day 700impressions/day made both goals with over a dollar and like 800 impressions a day i was pretty happy. Septmber - Restructure and automate site completely and SEO it and launch another project - also implement adsense into forum (did it yesterday check it out in my sig) BUT I m still working on the two other projects. By 2006 I would like to... be making $40/day from AdSense from my redesigned site raise my forums membership to 1K and 5K posts and ACTIVE - $20/day from forum and my other project i want to just get to be ranked well ALSO I want atleast one of my sites to have a PR of 4... I really just want to set up quality sites that get visitors and are usefull money is just icing on the cake, its fun to see your site grow its kind of like a child.
Just wondering...Do you ever have anything useful or like..nice to say..or you one of them sarcastic types? Or Maybe I am reading it wrong... was that a "great goal setting keep up the good work"... keep working at it? OR was it a 'ha, that's lame" keep working at it? Because I think the first would be a great thing to say..the second would be a lame comment on an other wise good thread. Might be me...never know... but I for sure think ... Good post..good imput.. hope you get your goals!
I read it as great going Lol keep working at it. If this is not what was ment then I agree it was a lame comment. I think goal setting is a great tool and you should go for it, do you reward yourself when you hit the targets? When I hit mine I have a reward associated with them, when I hit my next target I am treating myself to an Ipod Nano, that should be the end of next month as I also build in a consistancy factor to my goals, I have to reach $xxxx a day and keep it there for a minimum of 15 days, so know it was not just a lucky one off.
I am like gobulldogs and my goal for now is $1/day... When I reach $50/day, I will consider quitting my day job and start full time on my site
For me, and I expect many adsensers, it's very difficult to set specific goals when one day the eCPM is 10 dollars, and the next it's 2.
1. To place 10 more dedicated content pages in my main adsense area and to implement images above ads in my 5 other secondary sites. - Put up 10 new content pages. They're only just starting to get traffic. I've paid for the initial investment in getting them written so its a matter of time I suppose until they earn a little better. 2. $30/day: August ended up being $19.64/day, this month is $21.87/day 3. September 30 2005: I'm going to miss this. The pay off on the new content just isn't there. I need better research and more time to do it Oh well doubling income in 3 months was too ambitious anyway. But you know what they say, you can't shoot yourself in the foot when you're aiming high
maybe the clue is in the adsense sharing rules: The only stipulation on it is you must have 50 or more total posts before it's active for your account
I have not yet decided. Just surfing all the post, collection of main user things, started some blogs, and in next yr start one site with full-proff intersting and quality contend. Then Aim to achieve $75 per day.
WOW, I think you got a point there! But mayhap they should remember the rule about reputations...If your reputation falls below a certain level, the system automatically revokes your ability to have a signature and live links. The little red squares are bad..just to let the poser know oh oh oh I meant poster sorry typo.
Back to the topic at hand: Q1. Your AdSense goal for next month Q2. How you plan to achieve it Q3. What you are going to spend the extra dosh on
My goal is 20 dollars a week with adsence. I make that now.. I do it on top of my graphic art business. I buy software to enhance the graphics side of my business with it.
My goal is to keep that steady with no drop. If I can do that I will be able to afford all the software I want by the end of the year..then I will rethink where I want to go with it It has remained steady..but with algorithims changing and stale content I never know.
My goal for next month $150 a day or at least $4,000 a month. The best I'd achieved before is on august where I get $120 per day and $3,500 a month. But this month its slump a lot. I'm working to achieve the goal by setting up 2 more new websites and working hard to get more traffics to the websites.
i'd like a million dollars a day. at least if i miss i'll be making something y'all are too based in numbers, do it for fun! it IS entertaining! like that game...the sims except the money you get back is real
