First $100 Day!

[jawhite]

Yesterday I had my first $100 day ($102.30) to be exact!
It is possible and it's a great feeling when you hit that first major milestone. Now, on to $200! :)

[donovanh]

There must be something going on, I had my first $100 day on July 27th :)

[nervo]

The biggest knowledge I can empart is that getting from $1-$20 is much harder than getting from $20-$100

That is absolutely true. When I catch that $20 bus I'll be sure the worst has pased. Or I hope so ;)

Congrats to all $100 first timers!

Okay - I give up - how do I unsubscribe to this thread, (or any thread for that matter)? I can't seem to see a link anywhere?

First $100 Day!

I remember those days :-(.

[Meike]

I hear you, eth0real -- I'm still waiting for my first big $4 day!

I'm not quitting my day job just yet....

You have to write to moderator,they will unsubscribed it for you.

Awesome! My goal is to get to $100/day...
I was at $3/day for a few months, no ad testing at all... then I decided I could make more, and went to search for "adsense tips" and that brought me here! Inspiring, helpful board....

Had a $14/day a couple of days ago after I made some changes, and a $10/day. I know, not a lot, but I was thrilled at the jump! Still a way from $100/day... but I'm going to work *hard*.

How do you *do* it? I write most of my own content, it's just 1 site with about 250 pages. Is it possible for one person to make $100/day off of one site if they work hard and write their own stuff?

Anyone else here done it? I'd love to hear how you made your first $100 day :)

[cava]

hey all my first time here and very first post.. I accidently came accross this site I have adsence on 2 of my site but i get like 50 visitors a day on each so I avrage about 20 cents a day :) hehe so I see lot of ppl are making big bucks but no one is telling the seacrets.. Anyways if anyone is willing to share I am here to learn :)

Good luck to all of you

[oddsod]

Welcome to WW, cava. I did get your sticky.

If you're looking for someone to put some secrets together and give it to you on a platter you've come to the wrong place.

If you're willing to do a lot of reading and figure the secrets out yourself there is nothing better than this forum.

Good luck.

[Atomic]

no one is telling the seacrets

That's just not true. There are plenty of people giving solid advice here. One secret I will share right here and right now is that what works for one site won't work on another site. So you have to take all the bits of advice you find here, experiment and use what works on your site.

[Zygoot]

Another hint, you need to get more traffic. With only 50 visitors a day you won't get very far.

[incrediBILL]

Congrats on $100 jawhite!

I tend to pass $100 on my main site by noon every day, hope that inspires you to push on ;)

Still not breaking $300 a day quite yet, but I'm sure I'll get there within 30-60 days.

Back to the web site...

[SpanishBoy]

I do $300/day
My record was $350 4 days ago.

I targets for 500$ Now.

[Gargen]

yea im at like 1 (sometimes less) a day but its slowly improving i have 2 days and once i had a 5 day but some guy on here mad 60k in a month

[morpheus83]

To earn as much as $ 300 per day. What should I concentrate more on
1) SEO (Building links)
2) Content
3) Ad sense placement
How much time did it take to reach from $ 40 to $ 100

[spaceylacie]

Congratulations on the triple digits. It's a great milestone. I will never forget my first $100 day. If you have multiple sites, concentrate on the one(s) that are doing the best. Find out what your current visitors want and give them more. They will tell their friends about the resource your site offers. Word-of-mouth advertising is better than what any search engine can offer you.

[dibbern2]

What a great thread to find after a 16 hour day!

I'm pretty much a newbie: started in April, just had the first $25 day today from nine mini-sites. I sure hope its true that the next $20/day is going to be a little easier.

You guys are great.

[johnyfav]

Threads like this give me hope.

After 4 months of casual content building I am now getting........

wait for it.........

............

5 cents in my third month
12 cents for this month so far

I hope to link to this post in 6 months to maybe inspire others!

[speedpro50]

Yes, congrats! I too remember my first $100 adsense day! I haven't looked back sense...just keep upping those goals and you will be successful.

[wackybrit]

I recently went from having 80 cent - 3 dollar days, up to having 5 - 12 dollar days.. yet my traffic almost halved during that same time period. The secret? Placing the right type of AdSense ads in the right (non scammy) places. Placement is very, very important.. even more so than traffic after a while!

2) and 3).

If 2) is good, unique and original, you won't really need to work on 1).

[incrediBILL]

1) SEO (Building links)

If you think SEO is all about links you need to do some reading as that's only part of the equation.

If 2) is good, unique and original, you won't really need to work on 1).

I'm constantly amused by people's concept of content vs SEO as I don't see them as separate entities whatsoever. You could have the best content on the planet but people have to find it somehow and the content needs some integral SEO work to make that happen.

You can have the best content in the world and the difference between getting a boatload of visitors vs a trickle can be as simple as using a keyword (widget) vs a plural keyword (widgetS), or a shotgun approach of local keywords (alabama widget, florida widget). Maybe the singular widget keyword is too tough to crack but plural and local widgets are trivial to crack and get you to the top 10 or 20 first try.

You never know which will work so I just do them all and see which one sticks, if they all stick you're at the top of the game.

Last time I checked our stats we had only 8% of visitors coming from search engines. We've never done any SEO at all. Yet, a week ago we hit the $300 barrier (the site earned us $320 in one day solely from G ads).

The main source of our traffic is word of mouth. Good, original and unique content is the key to success. If there's a Bourbon update or whatever, we simply don't care.

today got my first clicks! 15 cents here i come! i think ill go buy myself a nice piece of gum.

Would it be safe to assume you're doing PPC arbitrage?

Imagine what would happen if you DID do some SEO work and didn't pay for traffic?

I wouldn't be so sure. He may have a site which is popular in the blogging community, on del.icio.us, or similar. A lot of sites with no search engine coverage (too new or whatever) can get a lot of traffic for free if they're interesting and picked up by the blogosphere or linked by a major site.

[speedshopping]

I am currently doing $25-35 a day based on 10-15% clickthrough rate - is this rate low or average?

[ximagi]

that's sooo high for me, mine is only 5.2% :(

"The main source of our traffic is word of mouth. Good, original and unique content is the key to success. If there's a Bourbon update or whatever, we simply don't care."

You obviously also don't care that you are missing out on revenue from additional se traffic - not a smart business move imho.
