How do you earn money?

    Hi,
    I have got AdSense running on Web-Site-Online, SCRAM, Your World and Phoenix Drama.

    My problem is that I only earn an average of $0.50 -$1.00 per day, yet I know I am getting around 50 visitors (combined) per day.

    Does anybody out there know if I can optomise theses sites - not too much work if possible. These sites are ones that I have designed for charities (the ads let them have the hosting and management for free) and one is my own.

    All sites can be optimized to some degree or other. However you're going to have to give us the urls to actually give some feedback on the sites. Most people aren't going to start guessing your gTLD or ccTLD.

    You need more traffic. Optimizing will only do so much when you only have 50 visits total per day.

    Yeah, er, I'm pretty sure you making $1/day from Adsense off 50 visitors/day is a major accomplishment. When people say they're making $100s/day with Adsense, they (generally) have very high traffic -- we're talking in the thousands, tens of thousands, sometimes hundreds of thousands.

    Before my main site got tanked by Google, I averaged 10k/uniques a day, and was making around $25/day. And I'm in a crappy field (entertainment) which barely pays anything.

    Your best bet to increase your earning would be to work on increasing your traffic. 50/day ain't gonna get it done I'm sorry to say. So I would recommend stop bothering with this forum and go to the "How do I increase traffic" forum (or one similar) and concentrate on that for a while.

    If 2/3 of these sites are for charities, they *probably* will have low value keywords as well.

    My advice would be to focus on your non-charity site for adsense revenue.

    You definitely need more traffic. Optimization won't take you faraway with only 50 visitors a day. You need 5000+ and more visits.

    Yep. Focus on getting traffic to your site instead of optimizing your Adsense.

    One way to look at it is that if 50 uniques brings in $1 per day, 5000 uniques could bring in $100 per day. :)

    If you want to earn high, you need a site that visitors will purchase from the links.
    High clickthrough and high eCPM will give you good earnings.
    I know people with earnings up to $4000 a day - seen their stats.

    Stop looking at ways to earn fro adsense, I used to earn $75 a day from less than 50 uniques a day.

    Think like you would do in the real world and apply it online. Sell a product or service that is worthwhile. Adsense is usually a supplemental income.

    Well, in two months SCRAM has had 1,450 visitors. Up2U has probably had 4,000 over a year and the others have bearly 1 or 2 per week.

    How do you make the ads look unobtrusive easily, as whatever I try gives a sidebar of ads (take a look for yourself).

    Too many of you are adsence crazed. I have it on my sites and it probably brings in about 15% of my income. The other 85% being affiliate sales.

    Adsence was once a gold mine but over the past year or two google has decided to take more of a cut. Every other week I think about dropping adsence and then I see some people here using it at their only source of income.

    Oh and I average $1 a click on adsence, in the old days I was getting $5 a click for my industry.

    Your sites are not optimised. At the very least you need to look at the titles. I only looked at two of the four and only the home pages at that but if you don´t have the titles set up to catch traffic chances are there is a lot more you can learn from hanging about here.

    Search this forum for seo or search engine optimisation. Google it too. You will pick up a lot of info and a lot of places in rank if you apply what you learn.
