And I have website with 140.000 page impressions per day but earning 4.5$ never hit 8$ per day on a single website!
But recently after reading articles here and there about 10k per months etc... I Got the feeling that some of you guys just lie about those high earnings!
I am in internet business since 1996. Don't really care much about adsense earnings just curious.
Open me if I am wrong!
One of my websites earns an average of 4 - 4.50 a day with +/- 300 page views. I *wish* I had as many pageviews as you.
if i have 140.000 impression/day i could earn $1000 per day.
I only have 1400 at this moment. i think your website is full of potential. good luck :)
Cheers
If I had your traffic I would 100k monthly!
If it was not against TOS I posted my states here :)
And how you can earn that much with 0.01 - 0.02 cents per click usless you run a webste with zillions of page views.

and i just cannot believe your record breaking low earnings. that's the lowest earnings/impressions ratio i've ever heard of. seems you are completely uncapable in website marketing, sorry..
with 0.01 - 0.02 cents per click
What heared in discussions here, You can assume that the general average is about 10 times higher.
I assume You run some sort of fan site.
seems you are completely uncapable in website marketing, sorry..
If the discussion here leads to 10 times more income for You, we all want our consulting shares ;-)
and I also have websites with about 20.000 page impressions, IN ENGLISH language and still fighting under 1$ per day.
social networking website
This explains a lot. People on a social networking site are there for their social networks. Their goal is to stay on the site, not to leave it by clicking an ad. Therefore the CTR will be very low. This is something also seen at forums. When people visit a site every day they also develop a form of ad blindness.
Another problem might be ad targeting. Although forums have bad CTR, they can have high earnings per click when the subject of the forum is right. I would expect forums about electronic devices, webhosting etc. to have fairly good earnings per click. In your situation of a social networking site, I wouldn't know which type of ad would be present, but my guess is that it is a low competition area with low paying ads, or even on many pages no ads at all and PSAs (public service ads) instead.
AdSense earnings can be calculated with a simple formula:
Earnings = impressions * CTR * EPC
In your situation only the first factor is high. That makes it a hard time to enter the $10k range. But if CTR and EPC are good, you do not need a lot of visitors to reach that goal.
What is your average daily CTR?

Nice post!
Well I think users don't come just to click on my adds.
And yeh you can fool them 1 time or 2 times but then they realize where is add where is not.
So if social networking, Forums, Communities don't earn much then what kinda magic sites runing those guys who earn $10k!

Hard to say because those who are in the $10k range tend to keep their mouth shut about both their earnings and subjects. But think of sites with information about products where people want to spend money on: travel, electronic equipment and gadgets, real estate and health. High earnings per click can also be achieved with sites about products and services with a deadly competition between advertisers, like web-hosting.
Remember that a deadly competition between advertisers also often means a deadly competition between publishers. With your large number of visitors per day I would try some other advertising systems. Did you consider CPM ads for dating sites or other commercial sites with a social flavor?
140.000 page impressions per day
I only operate one site with Adsense and yes, I am earning MORE than $10K per month at daily impressions sooooo much lower than yours. If I have your impressions, I could make $25K a day! Some sites, just by the very nature of their topic and types of visitors, can rake in the dough in Adsense.
But please, just because you do not earn $10K a month does not mean that others are not doing it. Drop your skepticism and work hard on your sites - or scrap your sites altogether and start one that fits better with Adsense.

That's just terrible. I have a site with about 200k page views a day and make between 150-200$ daily. And it's entertainment category. You're doing something seriously wrong, try experimenting with your ad colours, placement, etc.
I have a movie review website, but with only 100 visits a day max, well guess my income haha ;)
$11.50 per month
I have one site - low traffic high ad revenue, another high traffic low eCPM. You make a call as to which you go for and there you go ...
On one site I may $1 for a click - not usually but occasionally - the other never ever more than 10c a click. But they are different niches and that is my point.
As for going off topic - I'm sure there are a multitude of adsense people making 10k a month. They may be not too willing to share their secrets with the rest of us. But then who would be, when the wave comes you ride it and take it for all it offers.
Catch the breeze dude.

If you really want to make $ with adsense you have to give it prominant placement, not buried somewhere off to the side or down at the bottom. You also have to realize the value of keywords, some payout pennies, some pay out dollars. Don't chase the top dollar words until you've "figured it out" there is a supply - demand distortion, instead go after some middle tier words. You can also try arbitrage, buying lower priced niche terms via adwords and directing them to pages with relevant higher priced more general adsense terms (this can be dangerous if not implemented correctly).
Maybe AdSense isn't the right advertising program for your sites. If you really get 140 000 impressions a day you should be able to earn a lot more.
