    hey guys, i am thinking of opening my own website, and i would like it to be profitable from adsense. i am trying to think of a topic that interests me and would also be good for making money with adsense.. i am aiming to get ~15,000 daily page impressions, 5% CTR, and an average of $0.08 EPC. So, i am aiming for around $60.00 a day ($1,500.00 per month). the ideas i have thought of for sites that meat my interests are:

    - Full-Featured GFX Software Directory
    Polls and discussions of industry standard software, Advanced
    Search for software categories, Industry news of major graphics
    Companies, etc..

    - Free GFX Tutorial Website
    Provide a wide range of free tutorials for various applications,
    Including 3DS Max, Photoshop, Flash, After Effects, etc..

    - Web Development Community
    Discussion of areas such as: php, css, asp, dreamweaver, etc..
    Tips and tutorials for web design/development.

    Let me know which one of these would be good for making profit with adsense.
    Thanks in advance.

    I think web develop community will not make much money as there are lot of similar forums like this

    also The directory you can earn a lot not by adsense but by making your links as featured links you can earn by selling them

    but I do not have any views about the tutorial website

    Anything related to software and development is going to be a tough way to go. Technical people don't click ads like civilians.

    That statement is very true...that's why things like getting a link on the Digg homepage won't really increase your ad revenue even though your visitor stats temporarily skyrocket.

    hmm, i see your point stackman, with this type of community people just dont click on ads. even graphics tutorials, its the same kind of people. maybe i should consider chosing a different topic for the site. can u guys recommend some goos subjects/topics that are good for adsense websites?

    thanks for the replies everyone.
