I put up a new site this week - AdSense results

Yay.

1 - I'm impressed with any ammount
2 - I Got my couch to hide behind if it's too scary.

 

On my personal blog I make nothing. My other sites make $XX to $X,XXX per day.

To the guy who gave me a neutral rating saying it's against the TOS to reveal my Google income, that is false. You are allow to tell what Google pays you and show your page views. You just can't tell the click rate and CPC rate or any other information however.

 

Hi,
just a small question. I have installed joomla and i am struglling in adding some content. I want to make an articles website. Does joomla have this module with it or i have to install one? and if it comes with one implemented into it, how do i add an article?

 

o really? i never knew that. on another post i said todays amounts so far i put the imps ctr what i was paid. should i edit that then?

 

Yes you should, you cannot reveal the CTR or no. of clicks. Edit it now before somebody notices and notifies google.

 

Joomla has a built in article module. You shouldn't need to install any other mods. Just click on "Add New Content" from the Home Control Panel.

 

I don't envision Laptop Gamer making x,xxx per day. Nothing is impossible but the amount of work it will take to get to that level is a move I really don't want to take at this time.

In the end, it all comes down to site traffic and how good you are at driving it. Most big site rely on interactivity to help drive traffic. The TechZone has both a forum and an image gallery that accounts for half of its traffic. If those were not there the site would lose more than half its traffic because many users visit the site because of the forums, and visa versa.

 

i had a forum over on my side and i used to see activity going on, but now its worse than a ghost town. How do you manage to keep people coming, considering that in a forum, the interaction tend to be from within the community.

 

This is great reading and informative! Thanks

 

Having a main site that gets a ton of traffic helps. Best way is to use the main site to plug about the forum and ask readers to join in the talks. You are right about interaction being the key to a forum. In the beginning, you will have to keep this interaction going. Either get some friends together and start posting, or create a bunch of fake accounts and talk to yourself. Eventually, you'll have some real members join you.

 

i wish i had this info when i started.
now the forummers are gone and i cannot seem to revive it

 

It's very good for one week only. Congratulations. Keep going.

 

Hey MOTO....

What your Adsense income now... after this sooooo much time has been elapsed. Could your please update us.

 

Yes, lot of us have followed this thread, so it would be interesting to find details of your current traffic and adsense stats for Laptopgamers.

 

Yes, and why did you stop updating the site on May 26, 2006 as it shows promise? Is it still doing well regardless?

 

I'd be interested in an update...
