How much money did you make in your best Adsense year?

Time to spill the beans!

My best Adsense year was 2006. Back then I made over 100K.

(Update for Hobbs: Actual profits after deducting the Adwords bills and other costs related to my Adsense business. These earnings were made with multiple sites in different niches. Traffic was about 10.000 pageviews a day.)

Jesus 100k I wish, My best was in 2006 I made 16K :)

[Hobbs]

so what does this tell you?
That it's possible to make 100k or a Million/year?
Do you know what kind of site or traffic he had?
Do you how much he spent to buy that traffic?

[Hobbs]

Good you updated with more info MFKaHB
The info is only useful if you share the above as well as your niche and traffic details, then others can compare theirs to yours and draw conclusions/goal posts.

We'll not get into the "consenting adults" bit :-)

Let's see, last year was my best AdSense year. I got a programming contract that was in the 5 figure range, and my investment income was also in that range. When I add in my AdSense income, it wasn't enough to raise my income to the 7 figure range.

Didn't your mama ever teach you not to ask people how much money they make?

Honestly, for a lot of us, AdSense isn't about making as much money as possible and bragging about it. It is about making enough money to be able to not have to work for someone else and to free up our time.

Thanks Dave. I don't ask people to brag. I am just interested in how much money they make with Adsense. Many forum members are prepared to give a little insight on that matter. In fact, the 10 million dollar statement of Markus in another recent thread made me start this one. Anyone else?

Lately, the WebmasterWorld AdSense forum is full of similar "how much do you make" posts. However, from all of them, this one is probably the most useful. Why? We can have an idea about the year when google paid us the biggest %... of course, comparing it with google earnings as there is a linear (?) growth in online advertising.

To answer the question: my best year was 2007 however, 2008 will be even better. :)
