What are the extreme cases you "heard" in adsense?
We all know the mobile kid who made 55K in a year - pretty extrme, if you divide total money by total age
55k/19 = 2.9K per year. If you make 550K but has ten guys average 38 working, you will only get 1.45K/ year.
What is the highest CPM?
What is the highest CTR?
What is the highest daily earning?
What is the highest monthly earning?
What is the highest yearly earning? 55K from mobile kid
What is the highest number of daily clicks?
What is the highest per click payment? I heard $66 on the M word from a forum.
I am interested in small to mid size sites, like forums, gaming same, shopping site, topic centric sites. Let's exclude those big sites: aol, netscape.
Those datas will be helpful for me for evaluate websites when making a purchase.
I heard $66 on the M word from a forum.
The "M Word", I guess I am more naive than I thought. Could you explain? It isn't like the "Big O" is it?
Whoops.
Those datas will be helpful for me for evaluate websitesyou are really wasting other people's time with this thread (also, WebmasterWorld is for exchanging useful information not chatting) - and you are wasting your own time, too. The biggest money makers often generate only a couple pennies per click... on millions of users/month. Try providing a value to internet users and everything else will follow.

Why would you divide by age? What's the difference? Your example with 10 people still has each earning 55k... They could be 10 or 100 years old and still pull down the same.
Don't try and game AdSense, just do your best. Try to beat it next month. Repeat.
i will catch you first, mobile kid. you are so much younger and so much richer than me.
Highest paid for one click? $7.54. Once. Never happened again.
Try to beat it next month. Repeat.
This is what I have done over last 12 months. Beat each previous month by 25%.
HOnestly i dont care how each person makes thier clicks.. i would just like to know the average payout a month.
What is the highest number you heard then?
I know one guy got $7-8K per month. <snip> But I can not find any Canadian run forum more than 400,000 members. I may not got the full picture, but I need to work harder.

There are lots of people in the "FedEx Club" (If you make more than $10K a month, you get your check FedEx'd out). I hope to be there one day.
The FedEx club? Bring it on!
But the original question wasn't just about earnings. It was on everything from CTR to highest click payment. He then excludes big sites and wants to know what you and I earn. But he wants me to disclose what you earn and for you to disclose what I earn. The message is don't violate the TOS yourself but if you happen to have confidential information on someone else's earnings (perhaps you're their accountant) then violate the trust that person has placed in you.
>>Talking abour your adsenes number is not allowed, but you can always talk about somebody else's numbers
This kind of gives an idea of how voyeuristic this is. If you feel so insecure about your earnings that you want to know what everybody else's earnings are... you need help (and I don't mean with your online activities)

That's the problem with threads like this: where is the value of people stating BIG BUCKS TO BE MADE without granting lessons or share experience of how to?
BRING IT ON implies that someone is going to do something for you.
I say: read the how to's (certainly not this thread), read some more and read, read, read and then try out and sweat.
This is how YOU WILL BRING IT ON for yourself.
Oh, and did I mention you need to READ a lot?!
Revealing someone elses #s do not necessarily violate trust if they told them to you with little concern for who you told. Also, since you're not saying who they are it's a pretty big leap to assume it's a violation of trust.
I think the problem isn't the 'sordid curiosity' (in fact, it's the prime motivation we all post here, lets face it - to learn from what other people are doing), the problem is that 90% of the posts on what people are earning are pure bullsh*t.
Determing which can be very difficult. But possible. I find tracking people's posts carefully and cross-referencing them gives me an idea on who's loading it up and who isn't.
Knowing what they make is not the same as getting information on how they do it. Sordid curiousity it is. And, if you're following people's threads that's not much use if what they are posting are figures for unknown third parties.
>>the problem is that 90% of the posts on what people are earning are pure bullsh*t.
I largely agree with you here. The only thing we'll probably disagree on is that percentage.
Newbie webmasters: My advice is move along. There's nothing to learn here.
Can I just say that I read quite widely and this website forum on a daily basis. So when I say bring it on, it doesn't mean i intend to sit back and let someone do the work for me. It just means a little more motivation to read, learn and try more.
Okay maybe half of the earnings stated in this thread is a little ficticious.
But there must be some value in knowing what is possible. The idea of a fedex club sounds great.
Why not?
Anyway I do agree that the more valuable threads are the how to's and info exchange, but a little motivational indulgence doesn't hurt occassionally.
Sports site - $15,000 per month
Games site > $100 PM
Mesothelioma site > $200 PM (Shocker eh?!? - so much for the get rich quickers)
Computer software- $4-4500 PM
Quilting - $1000 - thsi si the one I find most surprising.
Newbie webmasters: My advice is move along. There's nothing to learn here.
I don't think it's up to you or anyone else to determine what another reader finds useful. Let each reader determine for himself whether there's anything of value here. What about sheer entertainment value? There are hundreds of threads here at ww that offer nothing but entertainment.
Senior webmasters: My advice is to move along if you don't find anything fun or useful here.
I, for one, enjoy a good pep rally.
Isn't it against Google TOS?

My site(s) have nothing to do with quilting, and I'm not saying whether I make more or less than the quilting site, but--well, let's put it this way--I can fully understand how an artsy-craftsy site about a specific thing that many people are passionate about (I know some "quilting ladies" and they spend a bundle on quilting supplies) could easily generate $1000 a month. Not surprising at all.
In fact, I think the more specific a site is, sometimes the better it does. However, people on this board have warned against "putting all your eggs in one basket," so that's an issue as well.
