What is your traffic and what are you earning with adsense?

[fateless1]

So topic says it all, what type of uniques/visits/page loads are you receiving a day and how much are you earning with adsense?

im currently getting about 1500 uniqyes a day and only making 20 bucks a week, but im sure others are having more success.

[moTi]

ok, me a bit arrogant:

whats this? people earning 7 dollars per month arrogating the right to post in a forum and discuss things with the pros.
then, when someone tells you he's earning a living, everyone of this guys making a spring on him and wanting to squeeze his recipe of success out of him.
i tell you what: work as hard as you can for a few years and then maybe we can all talk again on the same level.
it's absolutely no use for anyone if people who have not proven their ability contribute to this forum.
ok, at least, you are honest. and i don't wanna know the number of people who are faking about their earnings and didn't arrive anything in their life.

and now you can cut me into pieces ;)

Yesterday:

Page impressions 24,308
Click 226

What iam doing wrong?

0.9% Page CTR

Earnings $22.42

Are you with the same problem?

ppl say that from 7K Page impressions they do 70$, How?

[Nitrous]

From two pages back! >>>Nitrous,
you seldome add or update content, and search engines hate you. how come you keep getting the constant traffic, i mean really i can't understand it.

repeat traffic come for updated content
fresh traffic come from search engines

so, is all you are getting from other sites linking to you, using AdWords or offline sources?

None of the above, most of mine comes from forums etc and other sites linking to me because I have some very useful unique content on a bunch of sites / subjects. And I get 100 dollars a day average, over two years with only 1200 uniques, or 3.5k page views daily.

Good useful niche unique content pays.

[lightning2004]

how are some of you getting over 15000 impressions what kinf of search engines you using?

[wings]

> how are some of you getting over 15000 impressions what kind of search engines you using?

What has search engines to do with traffic? Dude, you don't need any search engines to get lots of traffic.

Recipe for Success:

1 Cup New Ideas

1/2 Cup Good Writing Skills

1/2 Cup Good Knowledge of the Internet and How it Works

A pinch of salt(thrown over the left shoulder for good luck)

Start by mixing the Good Writing Skills with Good Knowledge of the Internet and How it Works. Continue mixing until you get a consistency that you can work with. When the mixture looks just right, add the 1 c. New Ideas a little at a time.

For my 2¢ worth of opinion, I'd add that the difference is often how tightly focused each page you put up is. Look, your goal - beyond getting lots of traffic - is to have ads shown on your pages that are truly targeted to your topic on each individual page. Looking around the web, I see lots of pages with very generic AS ads showing. I'd bet a lot that they're the ones getting 1% or less CTR. If someone got to your site from a search engine where they searched for "red plastic widgets" and your page is about all kinds of widgets, sure, a few will probably click your AS ads. But imagine how many more would click them if your page was all about red plastic widgets (and nothing else). They'll either buy from you, hit the back button, or click one of your highly targeted AS ads that should also be about that type of widget.

So my advice (as someone who averages well over 25% CTR on 11 sites) is to post pages that are extremely focused on one product, idea, or service. Don't stray. If you're tempted to transition into a related topic, put up another page about it! I'll bet your CTR shoots way up if you're stuck in the 1%-3% range right now.

-------------------------

Can people give me their opinions of my eCPM it seems low compared to others.

[sunn65]

Base on your figre then something wrong with my adsense

adsense 25-27,000 impression
IP unqiue 7000
site pageview 40,000 pages
earn 14$

[thaiwebsites]

There seems to be ENORMOUS variation in earnings on different sites.
Our date (main site)
Unique visitors about 3000, impressions around 6000
Earnings : about 1600 US$ per month.
We use about 30-40 channels to monitor activity. Some channels (depending mostly on type of content) have high CTR, others quite low. Experiment a lot with locations of ads, coloring etc. when CTR is low. Successful channels, of course, we let them run their course.
One impression is that time is possibly the most important factor. That is, earnings seem to just go up slowly but steadily over time.

[Roadkill]

You all should listen to spaceylacie. Its common sense for the long term.

My numbers would blow you away. High traffic 14k uniques a day. But my niche isnt all that, but it is what I enjoy, and some would say that the monthly amount would be a living. low 4 digits

Oct. 2005

Page impr. - 4,498
Clicks - 305
Page CTR - 6.8%
Page eCPM - $14.80
Earnings - $66.56

About 200 uniques per day here...

I have noticed a lot of small things that can have a huge effect on the CTR. As someone mentioned earlier, niche pages work best - this means breaking down your hierarchy into more categories if needed (and possible)

I have found myself that ads that compliment the site colors, but also stand out more than (in my case) the white background prompted more clickthroughs. Also positioning is a obvious big one.

[fearlessrick]

Good thread. Roughly 56K page impressions with G, 1800 clicks, $200 earnings. Not that great - low $$ miche. I've been adding Fastclick and YPN to different pages, mixing it up a bit and Google seems to have noticed. eCPM is up today, as are clicks and total earnings.

I thought that as I added more ads (Fastclick is CPM and I highly recommend them) my Adsense revenue would fall, but it hasn't. Now I'm making more with Adsense while actually limiting their space (took them off the home page today and replaced with YPN). Meanwhile Fastclick is increasing daily as is YPN.

My formula: diversify. Just like any good publisher, you have to play the advertisers off against each other. Make them fight over your space.

Case in point, a true story from the 80s when I was in the controlled circulation (free) newspaper business. Two advertisers wanted the back page all the time, every week. They started a bidding war until one finally said they'd pay double the going rate. I had to intervene with a compromise, that they would alternate weeks on the back page and inside back page, still at premium rates. They both felt like winners and I made a boatload of revenue for quite some time.

You have to believe that these different ad networks are going to take a look at your pages and see that you're running differnet ads in different combinations all over your site (without violating the TOS) and start serving you better ads in hopes that you'll give them better position and more pageviews. There are at least three major players now and more coming in soon.

My advice, for whatever it's worth: Don't commit to just one. Use them all. Make them take notice.

[CainIV]

I was under the impression that when using Google adsense that other forms of clickthrough revenue are not allowed?

[CainIV]

A question I have actually now that I am here - I have tried implementing ads on more than one site as one site is doing well.

When I tried to create a new Google adsense account, it was denied as the address is already being used.

How do I create ads using my account on seperate domains (is this allowed - both sites are closely related - wedding planning and wedding shopping)

Thanks!

[JGTC_Supra]

That's easy, just display your original ad code on your other site. You still get paid. Google reccomend it for multiple sites, it's not against the TOS.

[steve_c]

I think mine is the lowest in terms of CPC rate, I got around 30 mil impressions, 80,000 clicks and at around 0.06 CPC

[lightning2004]

for those of you with such high traffic how many sites are these combines that generate this?i know you cant only have 1 or 2 has to be alot of them combined..

[steve_c]

nearly a dozen with 30 millions pageviews

[ann]

CainIV,

Just a note of caution. It is against adsense Tos to post your ctr and ecpm or even tell anyone what they are, it could get you banned. Might be a good thing to go read both, the TOS and the T&C.

[methodman]

and how are they going to know who has what account?

[oddsod]

methodman, it's easier than you think.

If they compared versions of this page spidered at different times of the day and put that together with the Adsense IP database, other statistical info they've got, last viewed pages, who went to webmasterworld.com/edpost.cgi?action=reply&forum=89&discussion=9808 (from the Google Toolbar),and the temperature in Sydney ... they probably already know who most of the posters here are.
