Thread: Adsense Earnings

I don't think you are allowed to talk about how much you earn from AdSense...

You can talk about how much you earn, but you're not allowed to get into specifics ie. CPM etc.,

It is a bit like Fight Club. Except frequently the Adsense publishers get the stuffing knocked out of them when the Google "improves" things.

Yeah.
The referrals for firefox and a few other things were nice little earners for a lot of people

Could anyone say what's the bottom line the average mini-site (good SEO and content) could be expected to make from AdSense in a day, week or year?

Dublin Domain it all comes down to numbers
1) how many people click on ads * average value of an ad for that niche.

You can expect to get a 1-6% CTR typically from AdSense depending on how you do things. So if you have 1000 visitors a day, 6% click ads a day, i.e. 60 people, you make 33 cents a click you would get $19.80 / day, $594 / month (30 day month) , $7,128 / year . Now if only 1% click on ads your $7,128 would be closer to $1,188 / year.

Thanks for that, Paul. That sounds hopeful. Of course, I know it depends on how I can develop the names, but I'm looking forward to giving it a go.

To tell the truth, perhaps it's not very ambitious of me, but I would be glad to hit the lower figure if I can do it with enough mini-sites. I know I have a lot to learn, though.

No prob Dublin Domainer, the hard part is getting the 1k uniques. Also for an idea about the value of your market have a look at the google keyword tool and factor in 0.3 - 0.6 of the click price for what you can expect to get from a keyword. As you would expect ads for things like ecards, myspace tools, twitter aps, won't bring as much as mortgage advice or laywers who do some weird and obsure cases. Ad value can be as low as $0.01 and as high as a few dollars.

I have made approx 16k ($) form Adsense so far mostly from my photo web site - irishviews.com

Of late it has been a bit harder.

My best ever month was just over $1000, but last month (May 2009) was just $263.

Maybe around a year and a half ago my earnings fell by about 50%.

To be honest this had to happen as advertisers were paying *silly* amounts for traffic from my site that (probably) didn't convert!

It does vary as said how much you get for clicks depending on the subject - if you are just starting out - do a bit of keyword research first using :
