It seems like it took forever to get my first check from Adsense. I don't even know when I started without looking at reports. After getting that first Adsense check though it seems like subsequent checks are here before I know it. I'm guessing my first check took a year to get, then the second about 3 months, and from there monthly seems likely. How big of a difference was there between how long it took you to get your first, and second checks ?
It all depends on your hardwork and how much money you have invested in promotional activities to get the returns
I agree that the first check is the hardest. But for me, getting the first check and not getting another one soon is a heart-breaker.
It depends on how much traffic you are getting to your site , if traffic is good you will get income fast
This happen to me too. I think this is because new website are not making good money, after update the content and work on SEO, the clicks we can get in single day
I totally agree OP, It takes testing and tweaking your strategies to see more consistent results. When we all start with Adsense it takes time to fine tune our methods. I know that's how it was for me.
I think its harder for the 5th check hah!!! I was really big into adsense out of school just working till college started I got a big website going about a video game. I was getting 10k uniques monthly and i could only pull maybe $40-$50 a month. It was quiet sad. A few months I would get amazing amounts of money pulled in I would usually get a check every 2 months or so. Ended up dropping off I havn't done anything for a year have $85 sitting in my account waiting on me to get my lazy butt back to work just researching alot right now. Starting college didn't help anything though working 40hrs a week and taking 4 classes.
It is easier to get the subsequent checks because you refined your strategies and know how to earn money (something that was hard on your first month)
