    I am not going to propose a huge, get rich off of Adsense Project. However, I am thinking about purchasing a new car, and I think it would be nice to have my Adsense Earnings covering the monthly payments for it.

    I expect the car will cost around $300 monthly, which equates to around $10 a day I must earn via Google Adsense. Currently I am earning around $1.50 per day. Though I am not proud of this small amount, I have never put forth too much effort toward making a large deal of money online.
    I have several Website I have created in the past, some more developed than others. I have never really worked on promoting these Web Sites, they are listed below with short descriptions.

    ValuedKeywords.com - High Paying Keyword Research

    SiteNoob.com - Simple Web Design, Site Promotion, SEO, and Internet Marketing Articles.

    JustSomeThought.com - Funny Videos, Funny Pictures, Music, and a Blog.

    GamerGlitch.com - Video Game Glitches, Exploits, and Easter Eggs.

    Seriously-Free.com - Free File Downloads and File Sharing Articles.

    OpinionRiot.com - A General Forum for the Masses

    I was wondering which of these Websites I should put the most focus on to Earn a bit of Adsense cash.

    Also, how do you recommend I go about promoting the Websites? I have heard directory submissions are becoming less and less effective toward PageRank. Should I simply use Social Bookmarking, and Forum Linking? Remember, I have done a bit of promotion, but clearly not enough, and I am looking for suggestions.

    @pipes is right, in adsense things change frequently. On one day my earning was $90 and on the other day it was $18. I only have two sites.

    Bengregg,
    From my limited knowledge, each of those site niches are notorious for being very low in eCPM's.

    The SEO and web design area is tough because the visitors know about adsense and avoid the ads. They may pay more though.

    I have read 100's of threads on DP about joke sites just not making any $$, and it's probably worse now. I don't think the file sharing niche is great either.

    The games site may be ok, but there are Many sites like that so you would need to work hard and have some type of niche, etc.

    I kind of like the opionriot.com site. The name is unique and easy to remember, and if you create some great opionated posts that attract attention, you could get some fair amount of traffic by promoting it properly. Find controversial topics, especially ones that are in the news today (such as mass shootings being tied to pharmaceutical depression drugs, should GM and other car manufacturers be bailed out, etc.). If you can narrow it down even more, the better. Find topics that have higher keyword payout AND are in the news today and contorversial, and you may have a winner. it even sounds fun to me!

    Alright, well I need to do some work on OpinionRiot.com since I have been neglecting it. Also, what kind of niche, in your experience has a good eCPM.

    Yep, people are right. This business isn't all that depenedable until you are extremely established. My business goes up and down all the time.
