i have one question
what is everyone success on GOOGLE ADSENSE? has it been worth it? but can expect to make a honest living from using google adsend if you have a high trafficted site?
Adsense is a beautiful and wondrous thing. Just make sure to read the TOS, and don't click on your own ads.
so if you average about 2500 unique visitors a day? what kind of $$$ should i expect? :-x
and im on the 17th page reading :-)
you also receive income from ADSENSE through PAGEVIEWS too?
if it can make pay off my mortgage i will be happy from ADSENSE :-)
hmm yea the site is recieving a pretty high amount of visits per day......are we allowed to show our websites in here?
I don't think sites appear in new users profiles - I can't see any site in yours.
two hints?
lol
For the most part I've been pleased with AdSense. It's allowed me to better monetize a niche informational site I founded in 1998. The ads are relevant and since most of the small number of advertisers have been participating for months I assume it's been profitable for them. It seems to be a win-win for me, my users and the advertisers. Until last year I didn't actually try to monetize the site, but I've found a handful of affiliate services that are a good fit and work well and integrating text blurbs about affiliate programs with the site and rotating AdSense and affiliate text in the skyscraper format has worked well, without having a major impact on the perception of the site.
My only major problem with AdSense has been with trigger words. Due to the nature of my site (it's related to crime) most pages contain a large number of trigger words. The first few months AdSense was out it led to the majority of the pages showing PSAs instead of paying ads, but due to a combination of tweaking on my part and some apparent changes Google has made it's no longer really an issue.
Not that you want to read everything I've ever said here about AdSense, but you can. ;-)

You may want to read the adsense TOS closely.
It's against their terms to discuss your earnings.
I hope Adsense smiles on you the way it has on many webmasters here.

I can guarantee you that you can do a lot worse than reading richmondsteve's posts. It's good solid stuff.
I will add the tip that it will pay you to go back and read carefully every word of the TOS. Sometimes we click on the Agree button without reading the terms. That's not something I recommend with Adsense. Stay within the rules, read the considered posts from richmondsteve, europeforvisitors, loanuniverse and other quality posters here, and you will do very well.
You are up for the ride of your life!
Come back here every day.
There are many folks (me included) who owe their incomes to a substantial part to this community.
What can you make with AdSense?
Well, without violating the TOS of AdSense there are folks around here that make a dime a day and others who make a car a day, it all depends on traffic and your users.
For the long run:
- build value
- make your users come back
- read, read, read (this forum)
- once you have something to contribute, share, do it
Other than that, have fun!
Finding a color scheme that coordinates with my pages and is eye-catching has given my site a boost. Also, since my site is non-commercial & content only, I'm building and adding more pages to the already 400+ pages that I already have as fast as I can. It can't hurt and I'm a long way from running out of things to add.
You are right on the money, everyone who wants to play the game and play it for the long run, here is the place to hang out and grow.
Have fun and learn.
