Holly Smokes I just had a $14 Adsense Day

[feedtherightwolf]

So, I've been trying this IM things for over 2 years now. Although its only been a year since I found this forum. I've had some success with affiliate products, and the best month so far was $400 dollars for me.

But I've only usually made $0.50-$1 per day from ad sense. I've never made more than $5 per day.

Few days ago I realized that I was expecting my readers to go out of their way and make an extra effort to "pay me back" for my work.

It was stupid, and I took 4 hours to re-design my site, to move ads to where people are more likely to see them, and put a donation button on every page.

This increased my conversion, and I got 1 donation so far.

But what I did not expect, was a huge improvement in ad sense revenue.

I realize that a lot of it is luck, and just depends on some person bidding a lot of money for some of my keywords. Yet, I also do believe that luck comes to those who work for it.

Anyway, I had my first $14 day on adsense and wanted to share

Congrats. I found that when I started to get days like this, it wasn't a freak occurance. It becomes more common. You are doing something right

[afam4eva]

It's good to know. I want to be like you when i grow up .

[beavis83]

Congrats man. I too am hoping for $14 adsense days. They seem a long way off at the moment though.

I hope so. It feels very empowering, and makes me want to try harder.

14$ is really good with adsense. Keep working hard...increase your traffic and place your adsense ads on your blog the best way possible!

[Mike McAleer]

That is great!

First... congratulations on your $14 day!

I was just curious... are you saying that for two years you continually worked building sites / adding pages and your Adsense income never increased beyond $1 per day (I'm reading the $5 per day as in total income from Adsense and other income methods)?

Please realize I am not making this post to criticize. I truly just found this very interesting, if indeed this has been the case.

[developyourlife]

Nice job I had a 3$ day yesterday and thought that was a lot haha

[Jake Gray]

You found something that works great for you.

Now find a way to scale it up to make that first $20.

Thanks for asking. Well I've been maintaining one blog for 2 years. But like I said I was only actively developing it for 1 year. I add about 1-2 posts per month. But over summer I wrote out a 45 page ebook, which I also converted into series of post. I get most of my traffic from google though. I believe my content provides a lot of value to people interested in the subject.

I think the key to to getting more traffic actually was a large amount of comments that this blog gets. It helps me to rank for more keywords, and google sees my content as constantly updating.

I believe that if were doing nothing but building sites for 2 years, I would me making much more money now.

It sounds like you're definitely on the right track here. Your blog seems to be a fairly active community where visitors are leaving comments and interacting with each other, so take advantage of that fact and perhaps even offer an ebook for sale there (since it seems that your 45 page ebook that was converted into posts was well received).

Since you saw an appreciable increase in your Adsense revenue just through redesigning your blog, you should focus on increasing conversions through additional tweaking and testing. It may not be a bad idea to do some split testing as well.

That's fantastic and as long as you keep putting in the work then that should keep growing. $14 a day is pretty good, I would be happy getting to that point.

[PatriciaJ]

It's good that you have looked objectively at your site and seen how you can improve it and I'm glad that it worked for you.

[Michael55555]

Congrats to you! I am happy for you, but also a bit envious.

Hey kiddo way to go!

I was always told when you find a spark throw gasoline on it.

Keep doing what you are doing only more,,,,,

Lol. Thank you, but I am pretty sure I've read something along those lines somewhere else.

[jacked]

Good job man, I remember my first $10 day.

[oogyboogawa]

Great job! Keep working to improve it.

I'm still not consistently getting clicks on my adsense sites and need to rework the layout a bit myself. Sadly even though I realize that would help my CTR I still haven't had time to do it because I'm working on an affiliate focused authority type site...

[kayo1234]

Great new for you. Keep up with the good work

[ericsimmon]

Thanks for sharing, hardwork always pays no need to worry.

[charliesheen]

Good stuff! really, work hard and luck will come!

[yeshuaisiam]

Good job. I seriously wonder though how many people really can make upwards of $100 a day. That would be a dream come true!

With multiple sites, it isn't too hard if you put the work in.

[prismkuet]

Congrats!!!
You have made it at last.
