Mostafa, are you perhaps from Sarajevo?

Don't spin your wheels when adding new content. Do some research and find out which keywords that are related to your site topic actually get searched for a fair number of times at the major SE's. The old saying "I work smarter, not harder" applies in spades here. You'll spend roughly the same amount of time writing each new page of content, so it only makes sense to do so with keywords that have a good chance of bringing your traffic.

[DefenseTalk]

That is possible with multiple content rich websites. We get about 30,000 to 60,000 unique visits / month and we've been pretty satisfied with google adsense. Hey, it pays the hosting costs and plus some change to take care of important things in life. :p

I personally never cared what keywords get searched for at the major SE's. My advice is: Don't rely on SE's and create a website that people will talk about.

Thats the ticket!

The thread starter seems to have flown the coop. I for one know someone who puts that guy in the shade with adsense earnings BUT he is also well diversified if the unthinkable should happen.

BTW, he is white hat all the way and does all his own work.

I'd like to believe the story, but I don't see how revenues can shoot up so consistently each month. Especially when it is often 3 months before a Google update. And when compared to my finance and investment sites, I have completely different seasonality.

Anyway, thanks for the bit of motivation. I've been consistently improving my sites but haven't been able to grow for the past 6 months.

[Dantol]

Mostafa, are you perhaps from Sarajevo?

Why does it matter where he is from? I am Bosnian too; Bosnian-Canadian to be more precise, so what?

Mostafa is making thousands, so what? Maybe the reason I make less money than Mostafa is because I work 9-5 for (almost) a minimum wage in an office. Maybe if I had more time to devote to my website, maybe then I could pull out more money from Google. Maybe yes, maybe no, who knows.

Anyways, I am NOT GIVING UP. I am getting a PhotoShop tommorow, and will start to produce more websites, more projects, more services (currently, I have only one). You will see DANTOL in 6 months or less earnings thousands of dollars. Keep your fingers crossed for me, I really need to succeed.

Thank you and goog luck to everyone.

[asinah]

I think the numbers of Mostafa are not made up. Congrats Mostafa for your revenues and lets hope they keep coming.

[funandgames]

His numbers sound real to me. I also make five digits and wish mine were heading up like his are, but they are much more stable and less exciting to watch. I have 20 sites, but lately I have been focusing on three content sites which has helped somewhat. Seems like having one or two sites and not trying to network a million sites together works better these days.

[Dantol]

His numbers sound real to me. I also make five digits...

So, you also make 5 digits? You mean, xx,#*$! (over $10,000)? Holly smoke, you guys are making fortune from adsense.

Could you please tell us what was the secret of your success? Please be honest and help us out.

[Critters]

Congrats, another UPS club member :)

I just think there was a guy from Sarajevo posting a post here at WW some time ago, a big earner as it seemed. But, he stated he was running a humans rights site. His name was Mustafa... Now, it seems his post vanished, at least I couldn't find it. So, I just wonder if this Mostafa guy had reregistered here, as it appeares he has just 2 posts...

Nothing else Dantol..

I don't see how revenues can shoot up so consistently each month. Especially when it is often 3 months before a Google update.

A new site might have to wait for an update or three, or more, to do well in the serps, but new pages on an existing site can show up in the serps, and rank well, in just a few days.

Given the right topics and serps these numbers seem attainable in my opinion.

[Dantol]

Nothing else Dantol..

It's ok Nervo. At this point in my life (and as far as I am concerned at this moment), my nationality is $.

I just want to hit that $1,000,000 jackpot. Oh guys, you have no idea where my bosses live. Their houses are worth millions of dollars overlooking Vancouver, BC from beautiful mountains... it's just awesome. I wanna live like them. Therefore, I worship $. This month I am getting around $600 (CDN), which is around $500 US. I hope to hit $1000 by the end of this month. That's my hope. Let's see what happens. I am still under $1000 for July. Good news is: there is 5 more days to go. Let's see what happens. Maybe I hit the jackpot.

I am expecting huge surge of traffic on Thusday, Friday (maybe even Saturday and Sunday). Hopefully, it pays off.

Could you please tell us what was the secret of your success? Please be honest and help us out.

The secret is:

earnings/month = visits/month * earnings/visit

What seems to be your problem? Please be honest and help us help you.

Assuming the site owner is adding extra content each month, what don't you see? :-)

[arrowman]

create a website that people will talk about

[incrediBILL]

Now I know why I can't break out of the high 4 digits, these guys are soaking up all the ad dollars.

[Gargen]

man i hope my site grows like that this is my first month up and i made 2 digits $15 its paying for the domian and the hosting, but looking at you guys wow, i dont really think ill be make 10k a month but iwould like $100 a monh just so i can get a check

[SeoMasta]

lol, yea u right man, to rank good in search engines and start getting traffic ( money ) we gotta wait at least a 2 months or more.

[jimilives]

I was going to keep my yap shut on this one as there are so many posts, I dont know who started this thread however I can tell you I have been doing google for a little over a year, I am a programmer (not html writer) and I hit $10,000 a month on my 9th month, did it take 9 months to build up to it? Nope. Took me 9 months to learn what page layouts did best. I dont write this to brag, to be honest due to me not doing anything for 4 months my income has fallen to $1000 per month (I thought I didnt have to work anymore, didnt know about google sandbox) but live and learn, but for those of you reading thinking its too good to be true, it isnt. God and Google are good, but have belief in both, write your stuff EVERY DAY, grow EVERYDAY, and you will make more money than 10k a month (heck I used to make that a week selling sites on ebay until everybody and thier dog got into it, no not template sites either ;)

And before anyone flames me I use NO spam, No stealing of info, nothing against the terms or even against moral judgement. But to be honest someone who writes HTML and provides totally niche market info will make just as much or more then I do. Want an example, do a search for international country codes, there is a little script there that took the dude about 4 minutes to build and a google ad, ohh and a page rank 9

Believe in your goal, it isnt a dream its a goal, obtain it!

[TedAu]

There is a solo Australian blogger who reported his adsense cheque at over $14000 for June, on top of that he says that with some tweaking he has lifted his amazon earnings to $40 a day plus he has other affiliate links.

Ironically his post about that got him slashdotted which gave him his most profitable day ever.

[jmaresca2005]

may i ask you how large a site generates these earnings. 1000+ pages, 10,000 +. if this question can not be answred i understand. I could use a ball park figure so i know how much my site needs to grow to get there.

[incrediBILL]

Site size and traffic are unrelated.

I've seen HUGE sites making nothing and a few pages make a ton.

You're either in the right place with the right web site at the right time or you're not.

[jmaresca2005]

makes sense. i just kept reading that content is king. i guess the quality of the content not the quantity

<<SNIP>> Please delete.

I've increased my adsense daily revenue 50% by adding a single text ad to a heat spot on the homepage of one of my sites. Still not much, but it was nice to see that I broke the $10 a day mark.

If I made $50 a day, I wouldn't have to work anymore. Doubt that day will come anytime soon, though.

[triumph]

Starting from the Nov 2004,

$10,780.47
$26,888.40
$27,144.34
$23,111.45
$11,528.33 <- Adsense earnings took a dive, replaced with affiliate links mid month
$3,435.08 <- Adsense earnings with new placement & affiliate links
$3,379.47
$4,432.21 <- Last Month

I have a tech oriented site, with about 1.5 million page views per month. No spam, basic seo, no paid advertising.

My affiliate links have performed exteremly well. I do miss the gigantic check from google.. but still 4 grand+ is great!

[DXL]

All things considered, I'd be pretty upset if I went from 27k a month, down to 4k a month. I was a teacher and I didn't make 27k in a year =/
