Don't be so sure that most of the people here make more than 35$. I am pretty sure you rank in the top 10% of DP users.
$35 a day is good going, it's now just a case of learning what you've done right and replicating it across other websites
whats your niche? How long your site has been running? What are your methods of getting traffic? Please answer this questions. Thanks
Adsense pays a percentage of earning they make from the click. For Example, if they make 25cents then they pay 8cents but if they make 25dollars then they will pay you 8dollars per click. It means that there are some contents (keywords) that draw big bucks.
I can only say congratulations and I wish you to spend your hard-worked money with pleasure. I've recently started my own blog, but it's still not finished. I hope that till the end of the year I would be as rich as you
$35 is not about a secret of Adsense. It is related to your site's potential. Try to add different affiliates then you can have a more accurate idea about the $35 which came from Adsense. Most probably your site worth more than $10,000 may be $15,000 in the market if it makes $1,000 monthly from just Adsense. In other words, if its CPM is $5, it means it gets 7,000 page views per day to make $35. Its Alexa should be less than 100,000 even 50,000. Just imagine that much traffic and what can you sell to these people which is more valuable than clicks. You may also think in this way: If you made $35, most probably those advertisers paid around $50 to Adwords. If they can pay $50, most probably they made more than $50 from your site Anyway congratulations.
The past week has actually been pretty sweet to me, averaging around $5 a day. (Not bad with my limited traffic.)
