If this Professional Writer Can't make Money With Adsense Can you?

Sure that's money but it's not quite the equivalent of a minimum wage job. This is for all the people who wine and complain when they only get a couple of clicks and wonder what they are doing wrong.

Adsense is a revenu stream for sites that produce content and do not have good advertising opportunities. As a collective there is a lot of money in Adsense (For Google).

And yes it is not impossible or unheard of for people to make a couple thousand bucks, but that is way beyond the "Norm". The average webmaster makes $50 a month from Adsense.

The big money makers have big targeted sites with tons of traffic. And when you reach that level of traffic it's time to look beyond Adsense.

Thats "Keepin it Real"

 

A blog impersonating Steve Jobs is not exactly a well targeted niche. What kind of ads is Google supposed to deliver? The lesson here is to focus on a market.

 

I heard that some adsense premium publishers are earning more than $100K every month.

 

Tech blogs don't make that much money. So, it is not surprising that Dan's blog was not able to monetize effectively.

 

this guy is just a quitter, will never get place

 

adsense is like a puzzle, you have to work your way to solve it..once you have the knowledge to solve, it pays

 

Agree. I think he's so comfortable with his job at Newsweek that he becomes so dumb at other things. He should read Rich Dad Poor Dad Cashflow Quadrant. He couldn't succeed at being an "S" (self-employed) with the mind of an "E" (employee).

Agree.

Also, i don't agree to internetmarketingiq when he said that average webmaster makes $50/month from adsense. The first site i ever setup with adsense earned me $100 check the first month, so it really depends on many factors. That Newsweek guy obviously thought he had the whole picture of blogging, i think he has not.

 

If he's such a professional writer he shouldn't even be relying on adsense income, stupid whiner.

 

an average webmaster makes mabe $50 with 1 site. what if the webmaster has more sites?

 

What does it matter if he is a professional writer or not? Content is not everything, although if you have more content you have more indexed pages. But dealing with adsense income you need to focus on some sort of item, and then run with it. And whats key is promotion, page rank doesn't mean anything, neither does referral traffic, or anything like that. To make a daily income site, you need to hit your main keywords, and be getting traffic for those keywords, and promote your site through good link sites. Bottom line.....

PS: If your making money through another way of site building, arbitration, ppc, etc. Good luck with that, I dont care, I know what works and I do it. Stop complaining, and research about Google, and their program called AdSense, and research about serps, and rankings and figure out for yourself what to do. It doesn't take a rocket scientist.

 

to make money on adsense depends on the niche and the traffic to the site , has nothing to do really with how good a person writes.

 

I think that the fake Steve Jobs blog only had a very tech based audience of people "in the know". Most people in the tech business know about Adsense ads and aren't going to click them. It's true that Adsense isn't the ultimate revenue source that it used to be but there's still plenty of money to be made - if you don't quit that is.

 

With Adsense you need to give the user a taste of what they are looking for. Just enough for them to want to go and find out more on the subject.

So this guy expected that just because he had hits he would make money? A great deal of his audience probably wanted to hear his ramblings, not find detailed information on a product or a service.

Maybe his ad placement was trash as well. Sounds like he didn't experiement. Being web savvy is probably more important than being a good writer, or being able to bring in a crowd! He obviously didn't make the cut. And, yep he quit without even trying.

Yeah he's an idiot who knows nothing about Technology and isn't connected to people even remotely smart enough to help him figure it out. He knows nothing about making money or computers.

I'd bet everyone who commented is way way smarter than him and is surely making huge money with Adsense.

 

$50/site/month x many sites = a lot for many people

 

Does than mean those nice big ($XX,XXX.XX) Adsense checks I receive from Google each month are fake???????

 

He's an old guy who ONLY knows how to write. I bet he doesn't even know that even a 14 year-old make huge money with Adsense these days. Key is to experiment and to never quit.

What those 14 year-olds have is savvy-ness and the willingness to stumble and fall. On the other hand, this Newsweek guy was afraid to fall, as in he was so comfortable with his monthly pay from his day job that he isn't ready to lose that in order to gain something bigger.

That is why, in real life, he could never, ever, be like the real Steve Jobs. All that he can do is impersonate someone so successful and so well-known like Steve Jobs. And I bet that is the best that he can do.

 

Yeah just read that. He's a writer, not an internet marketer. I don't like it how he quoted "there's no money in blogging" just because he couldn't make a considerable amount of cash in X amount of time. Sounds like a jacktard.

 

Let him say that. The more people believe it, the fewer competitors we have.

 

Rightly said, it is not that adsense dont pays, but it takes much more effort and toil in the initial days to reach a level and then the money is comfortable since you dont put that much of time into it, i earn a comfortable amount everymonth with only 1-2 hours of a days work with weekends holidays. During those initial set up days i had spent nearly 12-14 hours of a days work continuously for an year, HARD WORK PAYS no doubt in that. Generally guys give it up in the initial stages itself.
