Nothing to do with my sites! But that one page earns 40 dollars a day now?
And whats your social security number?
I'm just kidding about the last question, but if the other questions are too intrusive on your work I understand. I've noticed that alot of people on these forums will post dollar amounts but not many more specifics, but thats understandable since we are each others competition!
You are about where I want to be with adsense income, so I would really enjoy knowing how you got there.
Thanks,
Eddie
It actually shows a pic of my GF...
But that one page earns 40 dollars a day now
Nitrous, you need to treat your GF to a nice expensive dinner out :)
I have 10 sites with about 15 pages each. +5 sites with about 10 pages each. All html and very basic and amateurish.
All were written and published well before adsense.
They were all done for fun not money, with REAL and unique content on hobby based stuff. Some make good money, some practically zero.
This keeps changing about though with search engine and adsense, and advertisers over time. It all averages out and together income remains very stable.
You cannot expect to earn anything just by "making some content" because it wont work well or for very long. There is no point just adding pages of crap! You need REAL interesting content. Like I said in another thread, think of books. Some sell 50. Some 100, some millions, all depends on the content.
Crappy content will get you no natural links, crap se positioning, crap conversion (so low epc), no return visitors, etc. And your visitors will see a adsense trap and click back. So you get low click through rate too.
You need to put your heart into writing some REAL content about something that you know more about than anyone else. If you can do this then the rest is easy.
Total 200 to 220 pages. Not updated for over 2 years. I spent a year in bed ill for gods sake...
More interestingly still its all hosted on free servers! The kind you get when you sign up with an ISP. I have ten lots of 15mb! And some spaces have 3 sites in folders... Works for me.
Traffic keeps going up. Google msn, yahoo, open directory etc and more importantly PEOPLE like them! As do advertisers.
Income started at about 2k monthly when I signed up 2.5 years ago, went up to about 3k over year 1, and is now 3.8k plus for the last three months.
Create sites people WANT to visit. The rest just follows on naturally, its easier than fighting for trafic and clicks!
Oh ys, adsense only. I cannot spare the time to organise other affiliate ad schemes etc.
If I hadnt been too ill and stuck in bed for 12 months, I could have added a couple more real genuine sites, (not just a site with some "content" and updated the others. I suspect I would be earning much more if I had. So I am about to do this now in 2006. I think with a bit of work I should be able to double my income since I seem to have the formula!
However I am fortunate, just like book writers, not everyone CAN write a best seller!
Oh and some serious advice. This WILL help every genuin adsense user, and adwords advertiser.
Go through all the pages you have. Use the adsense tool. Bin every url you can find in UK, US pages that lead to any site that:
a) has adsense ads.
b) Is supported by affiliates, or by any other ads.
c) ads that are not related to your content
d) all "fake" "you searched for #*$!productxxx" with only links.
e) any directories
f) all sites that are not DIRECTLY selling a product or service.
All the above are just adding another layer of cost. Getting money out of MY content, inflating advertisers costs, REDUCING your average EPC as they are paying very little.
Every time I did this (monthly) My income took a few days to go up markedly. If we all do this then the freeloaders have nowhere to go. Result we (real publishers) get the whole advertising bufget and dont share it with the MFAs etc.

I have one site, not several, but again, it has information people want. And January was my best month ever with AdSense, over $800. That's from about 40,000 unique visitors for the month.
My goal for this year to is to get over $1,000/month, and I hope to get beyond by the end of the year....
I am new here. I am quite inspired by all the post here.
I just started by to develop my website 2 weeks ago and earn less than $10 untill now :(
And yes, i dont get any check like you guy do.
Nitrous, thanks for your tips and info. "Bin those ads" do you mean filter those ads in our adsense configuration?
And how do you know that those are traffic middle man or fake ads? can we click on them and check out?
Thanks for any input.

I stay outside US and Europe. and I believe most of visitor to my page are from those continents. So, how can I apply the resolution? any idea?
I just checked my history and it looks like payment was issued on February 22 in both 2004 and 2005.
February 22 in 2004 was a Sunday.
Even the missus has written out a shopping list for when in hits the bank account!
I just sit here and do the work.
Go through all the pages you have. Use the adsense tool. Bin every url you can find in UK, US pages that lead to any site that:e) any directories
Oh!
BIG mistake...do not follow this advice!
Question:
YELL is bad?
Don't preach to me, tell the ones who swear by it!

Now I'm going to get pernickerty...just what the hell are YOU doing?
>>Now I'm going to get pernickerty...just what the hell are YOU doing?
I am using natural traffic to send genuine interested users of product and services to real sites. I am not just adding an extra layer of expense and clicks to advertisers. And yes yell ads like ebay ads pay very little. Again yell are just another aditional layer that adds nothing but cost to the advertiser.
The advertisers budget isnt endless. Why would I want to share it with yell?
