    Erm..
    Held AdSense acct since Nov. 05
    No earnings until Jan. 06:
    So..

    Month 1: Jan 06: $1.01
    Month 2: Feb 06: $2.72
    Month 3: Mar 06: $26.74
    Month 4: Apr 06: $144.16 (I know.. That's like.. WOW! Got some lucky days + I've learned a lot this month, still I don't think next month will do better unless I put a hell lot more work into it)

    So.. Good luck to you all. If you want big dollars just do more of what you're doing to earn the small dollars. Good content + lotsa work should help too. ;)

    EDIT: And DEFINITELY increase your sources of income.. Besides AdSense I got over $400 more in advertising revenues from CPM advertising, smart text, etc.. ;)

    Oh Yeaaaaaaah I have made $.01 cent today....lol. My views did go up because yesterday I looked up a bunch of other blogs that had the same subject in them (the same band) and sent them a link to my blog. I'll have to keep doing that. Maybe eventually I'll have some good traffic if I keep at it. I feel like I am working for pennies though. My normal rate of pay is way way higher then that...lol.

    I also wanted to mention that the $.01 that I made was from someone using the google search. If someone actually clicked on my ads I have been makiing a dollar a click which would be so cool if they actually clicked on them it wouldn't take that many clicks to actually make some decent money. Too bad I can't put click on this ad...lol. I know I can't I'm just joking.

    I have made $30 so far this month. I still am working on driving traffic to my sites.

    The first month one of my sites made almost $90, but this was from traffic received from article submission. I guess I better start submitting some more articles.

    I have hardly any visitors a day. It's bad trust me it's barely in the double digits. See I used to have a blog in myspace with the same subject just for fun and had more visitors and then I heard about adsense but myspace does not allow adsense they block out java script and I can't put the ads on there. So Adsense told me to make a Google blog and it would be compatible.
    It's a rock band blog. The guy is from RockStar INXS he was first runner up that is where the band is from it was his band. There are definately lots of fans all over the world because I have talked to them but I can't seem to get people to go to the blog very easy. Are you sure we can't spam.....just kidding. Check it out.

    Yeah I was in total shock that day when I got 1 click and it actually was a dollar. I was so excited and thought man I could really make some money. I am not sure which ad is worth that much but I might make some money if I could get people there.

    Well, it's pretty normal if it's new. One thing you could do is to redirect your myspace visitors to this new site. You should also be more careful with the layout of your blog as I can now see a looooong url going towards the right below adsense ads.

    You could also put some ads below the first post and make them stand out a bit. Not too much, just make everything look more neat and be more readable. There's more that you could do, like extra ads blending, but doing it the blog style doesn't really help you that much. Oh, and about traffic, you should consider advertising with adwords, I bet they have a low cost per click for your niche. But you should optimize the ads first to stay on green.

    I can't see what you are talking about with the long URL going towards the right below the adsense ads. All I see is a long link to VH1 going towards the ads. Yeah I am so new to all of this. I had never even heard of a blog until just a few months ago. It's a miracle that I was even able to get it put together with the ads and all on it. I am not a programmer and know nothing about code. I just have figured out how to put things in there by what I read online. I guess my next step will be to figure out how to place an ad under the first blog entry like you say.

    Did you already have the site and did you put adsense on it or did you make a site to be able to put adsense on it? It all depends what the site was made for.

    Well I had the myspace blog dedicated to the band and that's the main reason for the blog. I did make this actual blog through google so I could put adsense on it. I am mainly promoting the band in the blog though. Too bad that band doesn't pay me for that...lol.

    I made 0.03 my first day, 0.05 the second. If my income continues to increase at this rate, I'll be rich in 200,000 years. Woohoo!

    I got curious as to how much I made my first couple of months after reading this thread.

    March 2004 - $111.38
    April 2004 - $103.02
    May 2004 - $79.66 (I believe this is the only month I haven't gotten a check)

    My site was already about 4 years old by the time I added adsense though.

    My blog is less then a week old and my other blog was about two weeks old. I'll just keep promoting it like I would even if I didn't have adsense on there. That's why I had to make it about that band because I really have no interest in promoting any other band. It is more for fun but it would be a huge perk to get some moola out of it.
