I don't have numbers to support it, but I'd have to guess that 75% of Adsense publishers don't make more than $5.00 a day, and I'd also guess that many struggle to make $1.00 per day. I estimate this from what I have read here at DP.
Adsense is just another means of income. I dont base anything I do online with strict relation to adsense. Its just like working somewhere and getting a tip from the customer.
That is what I am trying to tell people, $10/day is nothing, you can be making $1,000 a day with affiliate marketing, I use to use adsense in the past until someone informed me about affiliate marketing, now I am making so much more with clickbooth.
There's just something magical about earning money without leaving your house. That's what gets me so excited about it. But yeah, when I think about it, it doesn't even cover my internet fees, let alone hosting for the site
I earn about $3 - $5 a day. My site, I know is capable of earning much money than this, if I worked on getting traffic but I just don't have time so I let it grow organically, and with a push of a little investment with Adwords. I invest £60 into 2 sites a month, but in my spare time I e-mail people trying to affiliate.
I don't understand why you wouldn't recommend Adsense to anybody since you aren't making your desired amount. What, is Adsense supposed to be automatic money? You think you can just sign up and they are supposed to award you with money? It's a business, you make the websites, they pay you. If you aren't making the money, it's your fault. If I make a money selling widgets to resellers, the resellers are going to blame me if they don't make money? That doesn't make sense.
I am not in it for the money, I want my golf website to be the biggest on the net. Its my interest and I love betting on the golf so I enjoy sharing all this with people and I get a kick out of it growing. Money isnt everything, well unless yer skint and ive been there.
Most people are doing this for the fun or earning some extra money.. i dont think they are making a living out of it
Because the minimum wage rate here in Philippines is just around $/day and having an extra $10/day is a handsome earning for an ordinary employee. ... But me, now happy with that..
$10/Day is apprently a lot for people on this forum. My new site is earning $30 a day, and I'm not where near happy with it yet. It's making good progress, but Until I see consistent $100/day I won't feel the site is successful. [I don't use adsense]
Because I have another job or should I say a few. I am a full time mother, a full time student, work part time and an activist. In addition to that attend church on Sundays. I am not greedy and have other interests outside of the net. I know I can earn more than $10 but for me that is sufficient for my needs for getting enough to pay for my server and domains/projects.
