This post is for two different audiences.
Audience #1
First, for those who take this program seriously. Between AdSense, Affiliate programs, banner advertisers, etc., your potential income is really limitless. Below is a chart that I use as a motivator. I hope you like it.
Audience #2
For those who continue to argue that it is okay to click on your own ads and other silliness, you are playing with fire. This forum is filled with webmasters who treated AdSense as a toy and got banned. Below is what you could be losing if you continue to push the edge.
Finally, these statistics do not take into account bank interest which would make the figures rise dramatically.

Achieving wealth on the Internet is an absolute reality. Stay motivated, stay smart, and don't risk losing it all by playing games.
While I am not there yet, I am certainly on my way, and I see the potential. Good luck to all!
Just a thought for the guys in Netherlands and UK complaining about tax- have you considered offshore bank accounts?
What about them?
You have to report it anyway.
Yeah, but if I make a penny today, and double my money every day, I'll have $4,800,000 in less than a month.
True. I think these words from dataguy should summarize the topic.
Typical...
Try to give somebody a warm fuzzy and they act like you served them poison. To the miserable 'nice' is always a poison.

Yes, all the rich people in the world declare offshore financial investments. Silly me.
The flawed assumption is that I can only get one domain in my life, so I better take care of it. If I were a blackhat SEO (I'm not), I would be used to just burning domains every day. I wouldn't care if it got shut down. If I could make $5000 off a domain that gets banned after two months and it only took me a day's work to put it up, why would I struggle to maintain the good reputation of my domain and pull in $1000/month while I toil on it day in and day out? What is "shortsighted" about making 10x as much money and, as some blackhats around here have done, doing it for years? There are three reasons that I can think ofnot to create junk sites that violate the Adsense terms:
- I actually feel better when I produce something of value for the community
- I don't know how to do blackhat SEO
- I'm afraid of any and all authority figures, including the Google cops.
Note that "I want to increase my long term earnings" is not on the list.
It's all ROI. Sure, Adsense at $1000/mo earns me a quarter million in 20 years, but if I'm spending 40 hours per week on it, that's still only about $5.81/hour and I can do better than that bagging groceries.
Not to rain on Buzz's parade. Motivating people is a great thing, but pouring all your energy into something with a bad return is not.
ROFL! I nearly pissed myself laughing when I read that.
ooh, somebody pass me a tissue to wipe my eyes :)
nobody gets rich trying to make money? you've got to be joking. I'm all for starting a business to fill a need, but there are plenty of rich people out there who cared about nothing other than making money....
1) The desire
2) The plan
If either of these factors are not present then you need factor 3 - lot's of luck! :)

I was serious, slydog.
If you think we live in a world where cheating is the basis of relationships than I think we have a problem.
Besides, you can try playing with a couple of $ thousands, but when it comes to serious money, there is no way you can enjoy it in the long run.
How many people you know personally were indicted for tax evasion who were using a company with nominee directors in an offshore juristiction for the purpose of receiving affiliate revenues from a country they do not live in?
I'll bet my last dollar, not a one.

It's definitely doable, and not just on a big scale.
There are at least ten thousand contracting coders in Europe that route most of their money through offshore (luxembourg etc.) accounts. Various companies will do this for you.
High-tax countries in the EU don't like it but 2 years ago finally accepted them's the breaks and instituted a witholding tax. this means that the tax havens have to tax the tax avoiders a little and split that money with the home country of the registrant.
Was supposed to jack up over a few years but I think that it will top out at 15%.
Basically means you pay 15% tax rate on that hidden money. Not bad. Downsides of course is that you have to GET that money out of the account in cash or use a credit card. and of course look over your shoulder for tax men...
Some of the changes I made:
- I finally kicked out all the crapvertisers like eBay.
- Reimplemented Ad Links.
- Some ad repositioning on some parts of my website.
EPC and CTR are both higher now. The Ad Links seem to perform quite well now. The Ad Links EPC is twice as high as the average of my other channels.
however, constantly mixing things up can be a great way to increase revenue
I noticed Weblogs, Inc is now heading to earnings of $1 million a year ($2,739 a day) with AdSense.
They have currently reached a record of $2,335 a day and are still growing steady. They hope to boost this to $3,000 to $5,000 per dag average by the end of the year.
They have more than 70 blogs and employ 103 bloggers and 9 staff members. They also report to have more than 10 millions of pageviews a month, but they are still not a member of the AdSense Premium program..
Interesting to see how profitable blogging can be ;) They do have lots of staff costs but keep in mind that AdSense is NOT their only revenue source.
is this after they pay the bloggers & staff, after paying the bloggers only, or the total of money that they get.
It's the total amount of money they get from AdSense. Jason Calacanis posted this on his blog two days ago, but he doesn't mention any details about the wages of the bloggers.
I'm wondering how they are paying their bloggers. I guess the best thing would be to give each person a few dollars per post.
