This month will end another record year for Adsense revenue. Up to this point I am up about 125% over last year.
The single most contributing factor was a change I made at the beginning of the year placing a single ad unit close to the top of all pages except for my home page.
The second leading contributing factor was my steady placements in the SERPS. After 6 years I finally had a year were I remained steady at the top of the SERPS. There was a month that I disappeared and lost 50% of my revenue for that month but for the most part it was a great year.
My biggest regret was waiting two years to experiment with ad placement. (DON'T MAKE THAT MISTAKE)
>My biggest regret was waiting two years to experiment with ad placement.
Noooo.....don't do that! Experiment all the time! A few weeks should be long enough to measure the response.....so change often. If nothing else it might confuse the user ;)
I'm one of those that knock Adsence often, it makes me money, but, less than I would ideally like!
So my "Knocking" of Adsence is really just encouragement for them to improve! We can all do better, the publishers, the providers and the advertisers.....but, without feedback (sometimes harsh) we will all get lazy and do nothing to make life better!
I'm finally starting to make enough to pay off the debts that I ran up when I wasn't even making enough to survive on.
Thanks Google, for saving me from the wage slave life.
Yep, its a good time to be thankful.
- how long does your site exist? did you receive a massive traffic spike this year? how big is your site traffic-wise?
- for how long have you been with adsense? were you a newbie last year? are you a late adopter?
- from which income level do you come? if you earned 50$/month last year and now 200$/month that doesn't impress anyone.
sorry to spoil the party, but unless these questions aren't sufficiently answered, it doesn't make any sense at all.
ah and by the way: no record year for me :/
- site is about 4 years old
- adsense member since over 2,5 years
- 6 digits uniques/month
- steady traffic
- 4 digits income/month
reasons for decline:
- huge competition inrush
- restricted resources of time
- market saturation of visitor traffic
- ..and obviously people click less
clicks down 40%
ctr down 15%
ecpm down 15%
epc stable
earnings down 40%
cmon google gimme some more - i know you can do it better! :)
anyway, thank you santa goog, thank you webmasterworld members.

right, sorry to spoil the party.
this always made me surprised. getting 6-figure traffic and 4-digit income.
we do low 6-digit traffic and can feed 70 mouths each and every month.
not from adsense, of course.

Party isnt spoiled... rock on!

Spoil the party? I think not. I am in the low 6 figure traffic and 6 figure income and only have to feed myself, wife and child.

sorry, thought this was the adsense forum and we were talking about adsense income. also, i must have misread the title of this thread..
Don't really need to impress anyone so I won't tell you how much I make MoTi.
