All placements of the ads must be done in very careful ways. Especially the placement that likely 50:50 to the violation of TOS. Since GG has different staff who obviously has different interpretation whether it is violating TOS or not, so more safe if you 100% rely on TOS guideline.
Focus on the content ON your site and MOST IMPORTANT the backlinks you are getting...backlinks must be anchored correctly or its basically useless! Once you start getting traffic that is when you want to test ad placement and color schemes.
I had started 31 months ago, I am getting few cents most of the days :-p Here I will blame my niche too, its turning out to be low paying one... :-(
WHY you are targeting 100 daily? have you passed the mark of 100 a month? or 100 a week? don't rush. you will get exhausted and then frustrated. try to register more than 2 adsense account and repeat ALL what you did for the first & second account. make sure it is legitimate one (register under the name of your spouse or parents).
My friend created a website, along with me around two years back, he gets bangs of traffic like 40-50000 pageviews in a day and me all optimised i get around 1800 pageviews, but our niches are poles apart, he gets paid by impressions earning around 15$ a day, i get paid by adsense earning around 18$ per day and growing steadily day by day, his site is saturated, mine is growing as mine is niche specific So it all depends on which niche you are on
im blogging (blogger platform) for 5 months now and i have made $350 dollars in that time .....most of them came in the latest month ( August) $325 this month to be precise.........and there was a day 18th or 19th august when google ranked my latest post as top of the search and guess what i made $95 that day...........but since than i gradually lost all of my traffic from google.....coz google isn placing my post on first page infect nowhere near first few pages.......i dont know why..... but now im seriously thinking of getting my own domain+hosting and to start a new blog..... which showed me the potential of making almost $100 daily.....i know it will take time and but im gonna try ....
A $100 a day $700 a week $52,000 a year would be sweet. I am still new to adsense, but I can see the potential to earn $100 a day. For me to do that currently, I would need to have about 40K unique visitors a day visiting the site. I recently changed the position of ad's from inbetween vbulletin posts to right inside the first post and this made a HUGE difference. If I could make $10 a day, I would be happy
@paintballer.ie Yes that would be very sweet indeed! Don't forget that AdSense isn't the only way to make money and you potentially could make a bundle off of clickback and affiliate sales.
earning $100 per day is really too high if you do not have a high paying niche with pretty good traffic.
$100 is not so tough if you have nice SEO skills and ad placement is good where visitors can view at a glance. You need to work hard for that.. . check the website for seo tips : www.sitepronews.com
It seems OP you posted from some site which write about 6 tips to make more from adsense. Dont believe in generalized heatmaps. To create heatmap for your site so you can track the movements of your visitors you can use sites like clixpy so you can see which areas visitors see the most. There you can place your adsense ads for maximum ctr.
