As I started 5th June 2004, I thought this is a big chance to do what I want to do with enough time and money to do it good.
I have a press card since April 2005 to build up my online magazines
Thank You, AdSense!
how many taxes you have to pay from that amount in your country?
The company is poor, the company pays everything.
So the company pays 80% of the fixed car costs,
my travel expenses and so on.
So from my turn around, only about 1/3 is remaining as wins.
I have to pay around 400.-EUR per month social security
(health and retirement)
Only 40.-EUR per month income tax, because I have family with 2 children.
Impressive in a way and gives me a little motivation injection to try and build, although currently I am trying harder to get more direct advertisers.
One major problem right now though is the US$. Lost around 20% since the beginning of the year on that alone.

I like heard about people like you, that's what it keeps me motivated to keep it going, besides that I love fix up my site and help people in my forums.
Good to see the hard work paying off for you! Here's to another $100,000 that much sooner :)
Hey jetteroheller, congrats! I know you've worked hard on your website for years.

I hope to make my
"Just made my first $million with AdSense" post before 2025 :)
What is your press card for online magazines. What do you do?
A press card is iedal for visiting fairs.
With a press card, I have free entry to fairs
Most times a free parking lot on fairs
Most times internet access in the press room
(In Europe are extrem high roaming fees for using cell phone internet access in other countries, up to 15.000,-EUR for one GB)
The press card is at fairs also important to speak with the more competent people.
reekmon, if it were me. I wouldn't trade that for SEO. I think SEO is valuable, but if you spend time on building a site then SEO is just another task. There's no magic to it, and I bet when you see what SEO companies do you'll say "I could have done that, that was so easy!"
Then they'll say, "Yes but you didn't know to do that before. That's why we're expensive" I think big businesses can afford this, but webmasters should do it themselves.
Some people here will not agree with me, but here is what you need for whitehat.
Onsite:
Unique Title for every page.
Metatags with good info in them.
Use noindex on all dupe pages. (Recently this has made a huge difference for me)
Offsite:
Links. Lots and lots of links.
Low quality pages don't cut it.
If you have to pay people to build links or pay for specific links at least it's cheaper than SEO.
Just my opinion, but that is 95% of whitehat SEO.
Nice numbers!
Well I have been working full time at this since Jan 2007. (part time previously)
first half of 07 $125K
second half of 07 double that
08 double that
free graphics download site, all original content.
Going into my 11th year.

I'm about to ink a deal with an SEO company
I am something like a SEO.
I wrote my own CMS Content Management System and teached the promotion department of companies how to create their own web sites.
Before 2004, it was all so easy.
I had my first severe SEO disaster March 2004.
My real estate SEO solution was smashed by Google.
Only white hat SEO, great for the visitors, because many different photos from all the objects.
Also much work for my clients, to make from every real estate object up to 40 photos.
After being a victim of 27th June 2006, I studied much the Google search discussion. There is no real answer.
I would today not trust any SEO. The danger to engage a Google filter is to high.
I'm about to ink a deal with an SEO company, trading my premium logo design domain name in exchange for their white hat SEO on my far more important site,...Have I overlooked anything?
The guidance of a good attorney?

That is a lousy $2777 per month
No, it's 3 years and one month, so only $2702 a month.

That is a lousy $2777 per month, why is everybody here making such a big fuss?
That's more than many make doing hard manual work such as flipping burgers, janitorial, or working as a cashier at Toys 'R Us, Home Depot, etc. so why not make a fuss?
He's his own boss, works his own hours, and makes MORE money from AdSense than most junk jobs mentioned above, and actually appears to be HAPPY doing what he's doing, that's the fuss!
Congrats Jetero! :)

Excellent point!
Excellent point!
And also, sure I did not start with the average.
My first month, June 2004 was $355
My first month with more than $1000 was November 2004
My current average for 2007 is $4000
I could earn more as a journalist at a newspaper, but for what price?
As a free publisher, I can publish my own opinion,
employed at a newspaper, I would have to publish the opinions of the best advertising clients of the newspaper.

Hello! That's the A V E R A G E. Considering that he started from scratch with $0 per month, he is probably making much more than that right now. Not so lousy. Especially after only 3 years.
I was making $2200 per month after 2.5 adsense years before I pulled the plug on my main domain and split it up into 6 separate new domains for security reasons (deversify, diversify, diversify!). I probably lost lots of revenue and about half a year of further growth through doing that but now I have my own dedicated server and many domains. I sleep better and feel more secure.
Any way. Great work Jettero!
Considering that he started from scratch with $0 per month
My adventure to create content started 1992 with my first and last book.
Internet autumn 1996
My first own domain April 1997
I gave up my last attempt with banner advertising 2000.
Pathetic eCPM because of complete anti targeted ads.
I started my AdSense career with about 40.000 visitors a month.
Now I have about 120.000 visitors a month.
Only 40.-EUR per month income tax, because I have family with 2 children.
I suppose that beats 80.-EUR per month income tax if you had 2 families with 2 children each.
Congrats, your story helps to keep me motivated.

What's a press card for? I've gotten press passes for individual events as the "editor" of our website, is there some handy permanent credential?
Most newspapers and magazines issue a standard press card that will get you into most events. I used to be a daily newspaper photographer back in the 80's and gained access to many shows. The flip side is if they let you in they generally expect to see a published photo(s) and editorial copy.
