I've done it

    I am exactly 2 cents away from making my first 100 bucks on adsense.

    It took me 3 months and for 2 of those months I eagerly watched my eCPM at 0.10 and woohoo'd if it ever touched the 0.11 eCPM.

    But now, I'm there. My eCPM is 100 times over that and there's no looking back.
    How I did it? I read this forum every day for ideas and SEO tips, and that's been one major plus I must really thank DP for.

    Just thought I'd share it. Its a small potato for many of you I'm sure, but after over 2 years of work on my baby, I am a very proud mama.

    Congrats to you!

    I took pictures of my first checks that I got from G and Y and CJ. Don't ask me why, but I was as excited as you are.

    Awesome

    It will come.

    I've been using AdSense for ~ 2 years now and it took me about 4 months to earn the first $100.00, I really wasn't aiming to earn $$$ from it, but I did and was happy. Then I started trying and eventually reached $100+ a month, now I'm swimming in the $550-$600 range. I know it may not be a lot compared to the big sharks, but it sure it a lot for me copmared to where I was.

    So congrats and keep it up.

    Congrats. I also remember when I was at that point. It took me probably close to 6 months to get my first $100, but now I push $100 in a few days. It just takes time and effort to build a quality site and get the traffic. Keep up the good work :)

    Congrats mama. :D If you've received your PIN (got mine today) you will see a check by the end of June. But you will only receive the amount you earned up until May 30 (since you haven't exactly hit the $100 mark yet).

    Whimpering warrior - how in heck did you do that?? do share.
    sezerb - its a feeling too good, i tell you. And no matter how small the value, its a major ego booster.

    I got the worst feeling after announcing on this thread early last night (EU time) that I was 3 cents away from reaching the 100 mark - because then I had to wait over 6 hours to get the 3 cents needed!!! Can you believe that??

    Congrats ..
    My first check was $ 120+ on my third months in adsense, I was so surprised and started from that month I realized that I can make more and more from adsense.
    Now I steadily earns about $ 1000+ a month. I have quit my job, and trying to build my own small kingdom :)
    $1000 .. $2000 .. $3000 we'll catch it :)
