You guys ever feel like adsense is a game?

    Seems like you have to put the ads in perfect placement or sometimes rely on luck clicks (you hope this isn't the case). I mean even before I started adsense I never clicked on any advertisements. This is because I was always taught not to because you don't know who runs them or who ever owns the advertisement ring.

    Do you think page impressions will be the future?

    Hello. I'm sure there is some people making decent money with adsense although I woud not be one of them. The revenue from my "parked" pages has far exceded any money I made from adsense. Building websites with good content that the google "spiders" like to "crawl" is the key to success I'm sure for adsense. All these ads you see claiming they make 500-1000 a day with adsense is BS I think.

    I even see google employees stating in google webmasters, that if it looks to good to be true, then it probally is not true. Do not throw your money away on the programs claiming it. The people selling these so called "get rich fast" programs are the ones making the money.

    Twitter is full of people pushing their get rich schemes. Gets abit tiring after awhile. Spending the time building websites with good content or a blog will pay off better I think for your ads. My opinion only of course.

    Who taught you that lesson on not clicking ads? I never did like any of my teachers!
    I can see why people get down at not hitting big adsense numbers and I also have spent a fortune on "Guru" products that have only made one person rich! )not me - I give my content away for free!). Adsense is a very,very long game to play. But running an adsense forum myself I do know of several people on my forum who earn $1000+ per day (one makes this from a three page golf related site!!!, so big is not always better - guess he was just lucky, right place right time, like next youtube, twitter, facebook etc) But before anyone asks no I won't reveal any of these guys niches or sites, as members of my forum they value their anonymity as would I in a similar position. Would reveal or your secrets if you were earning that much? No of course not - if you ever hit the $300 a day plus mark then don't tell a sole. Bank it and retire on it! (and don't be fooled by doctored screenshots!)

    Like anything else, Adsense requires work and luck. It's a game and you need play hard to win at it. It all comes down to content. Write, write and write more.

    Adsense is not a game, for many here, especially those members from Third World countries, it is their rice bowl. Having said that, I think it is not really a fail safe rice bowl to have. Do develop alternatives to it just in case you get the infamous ban.

    earning $1000+ a day with adsense is not BS
    i have even experienced $1700 a day
    with 22000 visitors a day to my website

    though earnings dropped still i believe it's not hard to increase earnings from adsense
    the only problem some people have is where to get traffic and where to place the ads,
    also if the cost per click are high enough

    I too never click ads and never understood why so many click ads.

    Do they even know, they are clicking ads ?
    If everyone becomes aware of what is content and what are ads then Google AdSense is done for good.

    That's the point I'm thinking of. Ad block might put some of the adsense publishers out of business if there in it for money or have become too huge that the servers cost a ton of money.
