Hi all, I asked this question about a year ago. Infact I wrote an article about it called A Google Adsense Addiction and posted it on my blog. How many of you spend at least 12 hours a week on your websites to generate income from Google Adsense? More later...
I've never timed it, but it's way less than 12 hours for me, probably nearer 2 hours. I spend more time here on DP.... When I started I must have spent more time, as that's when all the major learning and setting up takes place. Now that's done I spend very little time on it. One thing I do like to do is to check my stats at about 9pm and then again at about 9am the following morning (not every day though). I get a kick out of seeing how much I've earned while I'm asleep.....
I voted about 12 hours a week. Just started out as a webmaster and have to fit my websites around my job and social life, earnt $10 in my first month so i'm happy
I got work and school, but if I wasn't doing any of the two, I'd spend a lot of time on my websites. Now the only time I really spend on AdSense is like 30 minutes before I go to sleep but I make up for it on saturday morning and sunday morning like right now About 12 hours a week is my guess.
I have not been spending ANY time working on my sites in the last 5 month and my earnings (AdSense and ClickBank) dropped at least 2 to 3 times . I guess I have to start putting some time into it again . I used to be addicted to making money with AdSense and spending >5hrs a day was common
Oh no, so you call those who work their a... out for 8 hours a day to earn money for living as addicts, i think we all do the same here for a living from adsense, i feel even if you do 12 hours a day if not week, then that is fair enough as long as you eanr enough to sustain yourself
Adsense is a blessing and a curse. It's an easy way to get a few bucks rolling into your pocket. However, it's just enough to keep you from spending time on other endeavors. I've want'ed to drop adsense for about 6 months now but after a few days of making less than a buck, BAM! something happens and I've got ~20% CTR and making 3-5 bucks a day. It's not great but just enough to keep me distracted from other businesses I want to get in.
