    I've been working with adsense for about 18 months now on various sites, but only now am I seriously threatening the $10-20 per day bracket.

    How does that rate in the league table of earnings? Are more people making more than this than less?

    Please say which bracket you fall into

    You're probably just above average if we assume a standard distribution bell shape classic graph.

    After 8 Months I am into the $10-$20 bracket.
    I am hopping to be at the +$50 mark by the end of the year.

    I'm getting about $25-$45 per day, but it depends on so many factors. I mean, placement of your ad code matters a lot, but so does simply the number of pageviews you get. So more important, what's your CTR? What's your eCPM? If you're targetting a low demand market then your advertisers won't have to pay much per click. I'm averaging about $0.30/click and CTR of 6%. I'm curious where that falls into the bell curve myself actually.

    I'd like to get up to about $60/day over the next three-four months, but I'll be adding a ton of content... so there ya go.

    My CTR is only about 1%, but that is as expected because I have such a high number of return visitors.

    I think that 6% is quite an achievement.
    I believe that the norm is about 2%-3% max.

    3 days ago I almost got one dollar :)

    I went from 5 cents per-week to ~0.70 cents daily with the launch of two new websites. One is completed, the other if I don't hold myself I won't ever finish it (product review, shopping, social networking, oh my...)

    So I've decided to launch a small, targetted niche per week, working on it Saturdays and Sundays, and keep developing the 7 head monster.

    I am from Brazil, and my websites are in Portuguese. It's a bless and a curse in terms of AdSense: If I put a webpage online today about almost any topic, I can get to the first SERP (few SEOs here).

    But there are no advertisers :)

    But anyway, it's 50 cents a day per weekend, so in 8 or 10 weeks I should reach my next goal, and break the monthly cheque barrier!

    With a 9-5 work and college, time is short. Next semester I will be graduated, and then I hope I will join the UPS club :)

    I'm at the $50+ a day mark and have been for a while no, though I am finding it slow to get in the $100+ band. I'm due to launch at least 2 other large sites this month which will hopefully be nice earners in 6 months time or so.

    Chump change? Oh I don't know.. $450 is a nice supplement to any standard wage. That would cover my car insurance and petrol for a month, or half of a rent on an apartment.. and dollars go much further in the states then they do here in the UK. It ain't nothing to sniff at my friend!

    Haven't had below a $4 day for a few months. Highest day so far was $19, average is around $8 a day (from 1 website).

    Well, I've done OK - two new sites put up 6 weeks ago and already one of them is making me $5-$10 a day (the london maps site). I'm very very happy with that - especially since I have not yet put any work into promoting them - just in building up content. Later this year, once content is rich, I'll be moving into the promoting stage. Ambition is to earn $100 a day.

    Ambitions are fun but often just a dream! LOL

    My 'day job' is as a traditional author - and the wisdom there is that it takes 3-5 years to build up enough of a readership to enable you to leave the former day job - it took me about 5 years I think before I was able to quit the 'former day job' and concentrate on writing. I'm not in any rush for the web sites. Slow, steady, and lots of good content hopefully will do it.

    This once again shows the value of traffic as being far more important that colour schemes, blending etc. Those techniques can improve your CTR but its traffic that makes money.

    Use spainexpats stats. 6% CTR @ $0.30 per click. Now thats pretty good. If he had 5,000 page visits a day that would be $90 a day or $2,700 a month.

    I have one site that has a CTR less than 1% @ around $0.10 but over 70,000 uniques and just over 280,000 page visits - it all stacks up.

    If I was to advise anyone it would be to use the CTR "techniques" to get CTR to around the 5% mark then spend ALL your efforts getting visitors to the site - either a niche market or lots of pages or both.

    Good job Sara, content is king.

    With an unique content, you can build trust and loyalty.
    As long as the ads show that you treat your visitors seriously, meaning not too many ads, meaning that content is king therefore has the king's place, you will bring traffic to the site, people trust the site and will be enticed to click on ads once in a while.
