The TRUTH about Adsense payments

Discussion in 'AdSense' started by kumiko83, Feb 25, 2007.

    We've all read countless times about the high-paying keywords paying a fortune for a single click.

    Sites based around "debt consolidation" and "mesothelioma" are reported to pay more than $30 for a single click!:eek: What I'd like to know is...

    Does that really happen?:confused:

    Most people on this site seem to be reporting really low paying clicks rather than high paying ones.

    I'd like to hear from people who have "debt consolidation" and "mesothelioma" sites. What is the highest click that you've received? What is your average payment?

    If you're worried about violating the TOS, feel free to PM me or say "My friend told me that she averages...." etc.;)

    I think this will be really interesting!

    Thank you!

    At the present moment? I don't think so...Too much competition.

    Do you mean competition amongst advertisers or publishers?

    It used to be true, but not anymore. You can still make good money targeting them, though.

    I think topics like those are too saturated. Plus there are a lot of people abusing it with MFA sites about those niches.

    こんにちは、


    Those types of keywords aren't worth it anymore.

    For example "mesothelioma" - think about how many people search for that keyphrase compared to the HUGE number of people who built websites to try and target that mythical "$100 click". :eek:

    Even if you do manage to get the little traffic you can - the overall revenue you earn in a set time period will be low. Yes, each click is high paying compared to most others but the number of clicks you manage to get won't be very much.

    I assume you're asking about this because you're interested in setting up a MFA (Made For AdSense) site on high paying keywords? If that's the case then my advice to you would be that your time is better spent on building a site on a topic you're actually interested in, such as your hobbies etc... :)


    I hope you found my input useful :D

    I have to agree with Darkhodge - you're better off doing finding a niche that hasn't been filled, and preferably something that interests you. My experience of what works best with adsense is a type of site where people are actively searching for something - they are doing some kind of shopping around and will be more likely to be interested in ads that relate to what they are looking for.

    NO , you will not get high paying click at your adsense publishing page, all that high click happening at GOOGLE SEARCH ENGINE ONLY so google is making good cash from that high paying keyword , thats not for our adsense publishing page.

    I asked Tesla about that (who owns quite a few sites) and said it is possible, but extremely difficult. Now as far as keywords, the best thing to do for those is to experiment with certain keywords on keyword engine sites and see what happens. More than likely clicks from adsence might make you about $5 a click for moderate traffic.

    Actually, I'm not interested in setting up a 'Made for Adsense' site. Far from it actually. I HATE MFA's!!

    I'm asking because I'm really interested in finding the truth behind 'make money online' schemes and finding out which ones are scams and which ones have value.

    That's my hobby and I have a site that covers it.

    I've just seen so many e-books and marketers telling me that you can get $20 clicks in niche sites that I was wondering if there was any truth to the matter. Obviously not!!!

    Just imagine! If you're an advertiser, would you spend $30 for a click?
    What kind of product do you have for covering that?

    I wouldn't pay $3 a click. You could wipe out your advertising budget in a single day.

    Do not hunt for a niche by going after high paying clicks. I think there will always be some niches where the click value will always be pretty high For example, education as a broader niche will always attract some high paying advertisers simply because there is so much money at stake.

    I think I saw a 30 cent click the other day and I thought the sky was falling or something. I'm proud to say I'm currently averaging 2.3 cents per click woot woot.

    If your budget is $3 a day ;)

    Ok - there are many topics where the listing costs you fortune, for eg: 'franchise' - expensive keyword - but do you get big bucks for the clicks - I think you might.

    Hi,

    I have never seen high paying clicks in tens of dollars..

    But i saw clicks which pay 2 to 3 dollars..

    Lol even in know the keywords and target countries where they keywords can make a big fortune.. I sold a couple already..

    One important thing here is all ads for same keyword appearing at a time need not be high paying, suppose there are say 4 links in a link-ad unit, out of them one ad might get you $2 and other one only 2 cents. How much we make depends on on which ad we get a click..

    Hope this helps..

    Regards,
