How much do you make on adsense

[sdrkee]

I am not an adsense lover but wonder if you are making any huge money with adsense.

Don't you think CPA is way better than adsense?

[Ron Boyd]

I think you really have to take a few things into consideration really.

Yes CPA is a great way to make money but it requires people to submit information or take free trials etc which is a step more than adsense does.

I know there are CPA networks that will pay for clicks but you are talking about cents rather than dollars for clicks.

Where with adsense you can be making dollars per click depending on the cpc value etc.

Again they each have their place but imagine this you have a well optimized adsense site that is making you a dollar a day and you can replicate that how many would you make?

Or to take a live example Ezine Articles [dot]com runs adsense and is reportedly making $15,000 dollars a day. If you could create a site of even 1% of that would you even think about it more than once.

Hope that helps Regards Ron

PS don't spend your time listening to too many people or reading and "learning" get out there and try it ..

Adsense is still probably the easiest way for beginners to monetize their websites and make a few dollars.

It is still my major source of income online as I make money from it each and every day. One of the guys I have read made as much as $115,000 in his top month but was then Google slapped - he now averages around $30,000 per month.

If you happened to see John xfactor on the WF you would have read his story of building up to $300 per day on Adsense, or Clickbump who recently reached $200 per day and etc. Nearly all these guys rely on making 5 to 10 page highly targeted MFA websites and then rinsing and repeating the process.

Well, I earn $5 a month from it. And that's from no effort at all coming from one of my extremely old sites.

I would like to enter the Adsense field one day, but not now of course... Too busy with product launches.

Actually, I have a great Adsense method in the works in my mind that I would like to release as an eBook or course one day. Ah... There's so much to do. I've started clearing my targets one by one as fast as I can. Hope that I can reach there one day..

i earned only 8 USD from one site along 4 month period. thats all

[lanjik902]

Not much it goes around 2000$ per month. But it fluctuates a lot. But the best thing about adsense is once you set up things you can forget about it completely. So its completely autopilot.

[Vita_Vee]

Lanjik I think many people would be happy with $2,000 adsense revenue

How many sites do you have?

[Vita_Vee]

Here is a screenshot of my adsense account for the last 3 days, keep in mind it is JUST for one single site:



1,300+ EUROS per day these last 3 days

LOL Now that you think I'm making a lot with adsense let me tell you that this is a bug from the adsense interface. It's reporting crazy numbers right now, can you check your accounts? I would like to see if I'm the only one experiencing this or if it is a general problem.

hmm... the bottom number looks like $130.00 - perhaps the decimal point is wrong ?

[Jack]

Ha ha you had me going!

It's not only the decimal, the numbers are completely screwed up on the graph, my daily earnings for this site are about 20€, they are reported correctly in the textual list.

I tried to get back to the old adsense interface but it keep me blocked on the new one.

LOL I wish I could make that much with adsense.

Actually I'm quite pleased because on that site I was only promoting an affiliate product in the past, I placed adsense just as a test and I have been pretty surprised by the results.

The good thing is that I still make affiliate sales so the adsense earnings look like a bonus.

[Jack]

I have been thinking about adding adsense to my site. I am thinking to only adding to the "articles" catagory, if that's possible.

I get quite a bit of traffic and those articles are there for adding content to my site regularly, the don't earn me any money.

I don't much experience at all with adsense. What do you think of doing that?

[Nik]

To earn money from adsense wouldn't you need traffic to these specific pages. I'm assuming you haven't promoted your article pages to rank them high in google. And so again assuming that most of the traffic is coming from your review/bonus pages.

I suppose it doesn't hurt to add adsense anyway and see what happens.

[Jack]

I have been promoting them and they do get traffic. They don't get traffic as much as the review pages but they do get some.

But yes, I have always been promoting all of my pages with every submission. So I have deep linking to my whole site. Plus, I have tons of posts, like over 130 and growing everyday. So even if they get a little traffic, all put together they would add up.

I know there must be tons of ways to do adsense. But how would you suggest I incorporated it? Mainly I want to know if there is a way to specify a catogory for your adsense to show up. I also would like to know if it would even be advisable to put it on my site at all. I don't see why it wouldn't be. But I know that Vita doesn't have adsense anywhere on his review site. At least I haven't seen any.

Jack

[Vita_Vee]

That's because I generally prefer to keep the visitors on my sites or send them to affiliate offers rather than losing them.

But placing adsense only inside your articles and not in your reviews is a very good idea.

I don't know any plugin that can do this so you will have to modify your wordpress theme...

OR you can do this:

1/ Install a plugin called post layout
2/ Install a plugin called PHP Execution
3/ In your "post layout" settings, place this inside the "Before the content" text area:

PHP Code:

<?
foreach((get_the_category()) as $category)
{
  if ( stristr( $category->cat_name, "YOUR CATEGORY NAME" ) )
  {
     ?>
         INSERT YOUR ADSENSE CODE HERE
     <?
  }
}
?>

I have not tested this code but it should work.

[Jack]

Thanks Vita!

[Jack]

I tried that and it worked great. Now I'm thinking about putting adsense on my home page. It gets the vast majority of search engine visits. I can just place my adsense code on my home page itself correct?

---

Hmm well that won't work. I don't have a static page for my home page.

[Nik]

I'm not sure if this is possible but it may be worth a try:

make a copy of the index.php file, insert the adsense code, and have your home page be the copied index.php file.

If it works adsense is only going to appear on the home page.

I have used Post Layout quite extensively in my MFA sites and have been able to turn it off on some posts without having to use exec-php.

Once Post Layout is activated you will see a Post Layout section at the bottom of every post admin page with a check box - "Disable on this Post".

You could simply put your adsense code in the "before content" box on the post layout page and then on each review post, simply tick the box to disable post layout on those pages.

Not sure on the home page setup, as it looks like Post Layout can only be configured for home pages that are static - will need to check more!

Hey Jack, can you walk me through how you got excepted in adsense. I find it very dificult to get accepted, is there some trick to it.

I applied a couple of moths back and got rejected when my site was still new and only had a couple of review pages.

I applied again 2 days ago and it was not accepted again for reasons that don't even relate to my site. I don't encourage people to click on ads for a profit. My site doesn't even have ads.

Here is the entire email:
