Looks like a good start. Give your users a reason to come back and you should make a lot more money then you would by just adding more content.

Well, I don't know what he is doing, nor do I want to really. I just take his message as inspiration and motivation to re-double my efforts. :)

I will re-triple my efforts.
Actually, I might even re-quadruple them.
Cheers. :)

Is these figures are real. Can anyone make that kind of money with Ad sense. I wish I could be there right now my earning is couple of hundreds per month with around 100 clicks per day. I am talking about a site which is well established and ranks top for many keywords related to web development.

But he did not say how much he spends on advertising to get those traffic. Could be zero, could be more.

Assuming his stats are real (a little suspect but give him the benefit of the doubt), what's more important is the bottom line.

And with a million impressions a month, what can he make with a good affiliate program?

Lets' compare :)

I think skepticism is important, but the numbers also seem about right. So even if they are not his, they are an insight, and I think a fair indication of what can happen. Of course, the problem is that it doesn't mean that they will automatically translate to other sites.

Dantol

Yeah, he probably spends some money on advertising. All of us do, aren't we?

Hopefully, most of us will make thousands dollars a month one day and quit our 9-5 jobs! Cheers! :)

nah, I have another friend that is doing what he is doing. Seen them numbers before, and seen what can happen when things go wrong. Thats a skelly he will keep in a box, because if your doing what he is doing you dont want everyone doing it. ;)

Yeah "l3vi", your friend is probably using framed pages and he is probably redirecting traffic to Google ads. I've seen many of those CHEATERS and I have reported them to Google. Cheating will get you NOWHERE. You might even end up sued by Google if you steal too much money from advertisers. Shame on your friend (whoever he is)!

No framed pages, thats to old school. At that rate you should just start doing text the color of the background. LOL

What would anyone be jealous? Thats like being jealous over someone having a better job then you.

A Good site in a nice market can easly make 80k a month if you know what your doing and are good with SEO.

Bravo!

There will always be people who don't believe or think you must be doing something "evil" to make your money.

Doing the math really worked for me! Knowing how much I wanted to make, finding the amount of the average click, then figuring out what I had to do to generate enough quality traffic/clicks to reach the goal. Piece of Cake (but a lot of work...not for the weak)

Oh, and if it seems to large or unbelieveable, set mini goals.

I think since you shared with us how much did you earn from Google, you should tell us what ways did you chose to raise your monthly income from a few bucks to thousands.

Yea, its strange that this is his first post

You really believe that each AdSense publisher earning over $10,000 per month must be reading this forum? This forum is certainly good and well-known, but maybe it is time to get back to reality.

Some people seem to be still unsure about this guy.

You can make that kind of money without a single penny in advertising.

I spend zero on advertising, and am closely following Mostafa. How did I reach there? 95 % of what I know came from this forum.

A 100 clicks a day? How about a thousand? Three thousand? Easy. be nice and good and honest and hardworking and reading WW and thats all you need.

I had my days of 1 dollar a day too. I was inspired by such stories, and lets say they are wrong, I still don't care because its brilliant for inspiration and motiovation.

My car exists because of AdSense. My house mortgage is almost over because of AS. Why, my peace of mind is because of AS.

Not one trick, not one borderline experiment - plain, clean content and basic SEO.

Mostafa, whether he makes that money or not, is my hero. I just need a couple more months to beat that figure, maybe less.

Then there will sure be another guy to inspire me.

(Oh and I have been posting for 2 years, so I am not a new guy here, so maybe I'm more believable that Mostafa?!)

And is he boasting? Sharing the happiness, I call it. I am where I am because of such people. Jealousy is for adolescents.

A screenshot of earnings doesn't prove anything. You can fake them too so you'll just have to believe him on his word.

That's true. The only way to prove without a doubt is if he sent you his check. Mostafa, I can send you my address information if you want.

It's very doable.

We mirrored his growth last year, up to a point, then capped off, and fell a bit. But we weren't in as focussed a field.

But by all means, continue your disbelief. It keeps you back and leaves more room for the rest of us.

This game starts in the mind. If you can't imagine that kind of growth I guarantee - guarantee! - you won't get it.

Once you start seeing how this is possible, then you start imagining what you need to do to get there... and away you go down the road.

His numbers look good to me. I can look through them and see exactly where I'm at. My stats for the months up to that point look somewhat comparable to his numbers.

I so much agree, back in the day when I was a newbie I counted by days by dollars and hoped that I ended the month with 50 more then I had before. Now of days I count in the 6-10k growth a month, I expect it, I want it, its all I think about while others spend their time mucking around wondering how to get it cheap and easy.

You can do is the sneaky way and try to run faster and faster till you lose, or you can take the long road and make a site like no one else has ever done before!

Making $14,000 over 11 web sites isn't that much impressive. That is less than $1300 per site. Nothing spectacular at all. The amount of work you do to manage 11 Web sites with worthwhile content, could be tremendous. However, we know some publishers making that much or a little more, with ONLY one web site - and that is something to reckon with.

Anyway, keep it up, Mostafa. You can make the money any way you do it -- and enjoy it.

Welcome back after a long time.

Really it is not so difficult to earn around $1000 or so from a single site. So The Guy may be correct. But I fear, I have seen a lot of such posts here claiming such a huge money....just spamming....? hey hey hey...

Yes, I do make around $4500 each month from just a SINGLE site that is currently hosted just for $4.95 per month. Homepage not in cache of G at this moment of writing. Incredible, but real.

I happen to believe him only because of personal experience with my neighbor.

the guy next door has a personal website that deals with databases and the processing of the data. His site is very active with that topic and recently he asked me to review his web stats and figure out a way to increase his revenue...

long story real short. ( rounding the numbers )
400+ pages of content, ( and very detailed stuff way over my head ) plus forum that is active.
25000 full page views per day and steady, forum is about the same
6000 unique visitors per month, forum is alot less
just about half of the visitors click out of his site
via his advertising box

I advised him to buy web trends to track the visitors and we made some adjustments. overall in the last 4 months he's holding steady with the click rate and has increase his earnings by rotating different adverting companies ( huge gains of x2 to x3 per month).

Also, skyscrapers seem to work the best on a site like his which has a lot of text ( you need to scroll for a while to get to the bottom )

one thing that helped alot was to get the affiliate with Amazon. that helped him generate money from his book references.

he started at about 40 per day in revenue and now is about 410 per day in revenue.

I found one of his sites. It has no PR yet, but is very huge. He has links that are not permitted by Adsense, so I guess he is waiting to see if they warn him or not...yes, he must be racking up the money in the meantime...I guess the site I found must be used as Adwords account. Good for him, but I am a scardey-cat who is afraid to bend the TOS. Very little money so far, but at least I don't have to worry about getting booted off. Do you think they are less strict for Adwords customers? Just wondering... probably oot...The only question is WHEN will the Adsense team require him to drop the violations? I think we should try to emulate some of his good points, while skipping the violations...

It is always interesting to read everybody elses reported earnings from AdSense, as well as the discussions afterwards. Sometimes I believe the numbers, sometimes I don't. I can't help but wonder what area a website publishes in, when thier earnings increase every month. I always see earning fluctuations with the holidays and summer vacations, and don't forget not all months are 31 days. As a long timer here on WW, and using my new second login, I will finally report my offical earnings for all to see.

I promise, these are exact...

Numbers are for one website only.

July (Estimated) - 8100.00
June - 8,749.76
May - 9,381.94
April - 9,425.85
March - 9,219.41
February - 7,345.56
January 2005 - 7,646.51
December - 7,084.33
November - 8,128.27
October - 8680.38
September - 7361.19
August - 7,058.49
July - 5,763.41
June - 6,507.13
May - 5,342.30
April - 3,317.41
March - 4,716.46
February - 4,011.42
January 2004 - 3,022.79
December - 2,132.79
November - 1,281.33
October 2003 - 0.89

Can please somebody shoot me?

I work for almost a minimum wage in an office.

Only Adsense can save me from total misery. I hope to make thousands of dollars from Adsense like you guys.
