Finally, I Broke the $100 Threshold for Adsense in a Month...Heck Yeah !!!!

[discrat]

Yep, it took me about 11 months to do it. And that was with a lot of hard work but I managed to finally break the $100 threshold for the Month for Adense Earnings.

I know for many of you its no big deal since you make that in a day.
But personally, I have been working for this and I wasnt sure this day would ever come. Its like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders

At the beginning of the year it was taking me 3 months to hit the $100 threshold. and then it was 2 months and now one month.

For those of you who are having trouble with Adsense and it seems hopeless , you need to take heed. Because I can remember back in August I was thrilled when I hit a measley $7 for the month. But I kept at it and kept building more backlinks and writng more original content to my Blog and then Pinging it.

So you just need to keep on keeping on and eventually with work and diligence you will start getting ranked for some decent keywords ! And you will then see those Adsense Earnings start to rise.

Peace and never give up

Great! Congratulation! My earnings on this month is going down. I did not reach the $100 payout.

[J.Cole]

Congrats! It shows perseverance really pays off. Just curious, are the earnings from 1 site/blog?

[IM Headlines]

That's good, now all you have to do is rinse and repeat untill you reach $1000!

Then just rinse and repeat again!

[gadget_man]

Well done on your achievement. I get so little traffic on my blog I don't deem it worth even adding Adsense yet!

[Netcel]

Congratulations, I made my first 9 cents through Adsense this week - I was just as chuffed!

[wezzley]

Grats. The next step will be getting it so that you get your payment EVERY month!

Hey, GOOD JOB! Seriously, you're ahead of the vast majority of Adsense publishers now. Now, don't rest on your laurels. See if you can get to $200 per month in the next few months. Your site has aged nicely, which is a big key for rankings at Google. It's tough to get anything going in the rankings there when a site is only a few months old. But now you're sitting pretty.

Here's what I would recommend...

1. Keep building backlinks slowly but surely. Always use good anchor text and vary it up a bit between a few of your better keywords, so it appears more natural to Google.

2. Since it's a blog, keyword research is going to be key to more traffic and Adsense bucks. I highly recommend investing in a good keyword research tool to build a list for your niche. You're looking for keyword phrases that get a decent number of searches every month (I shoot for 600 or more). Then you'll want to make sure you're not competing against a ton of other people who are also targeting that phrase. Search for the phrase in question using quotes around it. This will tell you how many pages are indexed at Google with that exact phrase (not just the words in any order) on them. This is your "true" competition. If that number is under about 10,000, you're in business. 10,000 is my own personal cut-off, but it isn't a hard-and-fast rule, ok? I just know that it's feasible to get a good ranking if the competition is around that number or lower.

Good luck, and congrats!
John

Hi Discrat,

That's really great news!

So many people quit when the going gets tough and you've seen it through. There comes a point where things just click.

$1000 per month is really achievable (even if it doesn't sound it right now) and I know you can get to this point. So stick at it and well done!

Cheers,
John.

[discrat]

Yeah, I have 7 Blogs. But 90% of this is from 2 Blogs.

Interesting enough they were both created and Indexed around the first of April 08'. And almost to the week , Google started to give me juice and Rank me first Page on Keyterms that I thought would take a couple of years to get first page.

Now this is speculation on my part but I have heard that Google will start to give you more Authority right around the first Anniversary of your Blog/Website if you have continually kept it updated with fresh, original Articles.
Its like Google is waiting to see if you stick it out and grants you Authority once they realize you are not some spammy short term site.

Like I said that is pure specualtion based on heresay.

Anyway, out of these two Blogs one is Work at home/ make money online and the other is health related.

I know my first three Checks from Google Adsense I did not spend it on Mortgage, Food, Movies, Wife etc... I put it right back into the Business. Just this last month I invested part of Adsense Earnings into Outsourcing some Articles for new Niches I am pursuing.

So guess what I will be doing with April's Check ??

You got it

More Outsourcing !!

[happyguy]

congrats pal, I've been there before and know how it feel to breakthrough. But don't rest on your oars. Its time to double your effort and ensure you soar further. Good luck!

Hey Gadget,
I would tend to disagree with this. I know I was making Earnings even when I had 4 or 5 Visitors a day and sometimes less.

Good thing about Adsense is that you can start Earning even with a small amount of Traffic.

[llfleming]

congrats! i know exactly how you feel!

[Shellaine]

You have done a great job and since it grows methodically, you can hae some more edge in terms of getting organic searches.

Good job my friend.

[yaji]

That is very encouraging. Stick to it and you'll make it!

[discrat]

Just an Update : Well, yesterday I broke the $200 Barrier !!
So it took me 2 months and 24 days to get from the $100 Barrier to the $200 Barrier in Adsense.'

And we still have 6 more days left in July !!

I havent done anything special. Heres my weekly regimen for buildng my business:

1.I use Angelas Backlnk Service since March. I post to 3 of her High PR Sites per week. ($5 month)
2. I pay for an SEO Service that provides a certain amount of Backlinks a month per URL to diferent Blogs. ( $27 month)
3.I write one Ezine Article, one Goarticle, and one Lense at Squidoo per week. ($0 month)
4.I post unique, original content to all my Blogs once per week. ($0 month)


Anyway Thats it ! About 5 hours work a week which is all I can crank out now with a young infant and being a stay at home dad. Oh BTW, you dont have to have massive amounts of Backlinks every month. I average about 20 to 25!! Think Quality over Quantity !

Also, I am starting to outsource most of my Articles for my Blogs. And it will even make my business that much more efficient.

Total Earnings for this month of July will be just over $400. That includes my Pay Per Lead Affiliate Programs on my Blogs which are kicking into gear and Adsense. This time last year for July 08 total Earnings was $7 with $3.99 in Adsense !!

Like I said it took me about a year of work to start seeing some results. Now everything is growing exponentially !!

You guys just dont give up. I sure didnt even though many times I felt like it. The longer you stay in the game the more valuable your IM efforts will become.

[ChrisBa]

good stuff, it took me something crazy like 2-3 years for my first $100 from them (I don't really try to promote with them)..

[cameuh]

congrats, it is time to broke the $1K per month limit...

[Daniel Viau]

Yea Im just new now and starting with Adsense. Im planning on working hard on something related to my actual job that i enjoy since i have a goood background in it

[clickbump]

Awesome achievement discrat! Now set your sites on $1000 months and don't look back.

[discrat]

Incidentally , today was somewhat of a Milestone for me.
I hit the $20 threshold for the Day. I have been awful dang close on many occassions. Write around $18 or so.

But thought I would just NEVER get that $20 for the day. It has been so elusive for me.

And we have 5 more hours out here in the West so maybe I will hit $25 or $30 !! .

Anyway, I hope this provides a little inspiration for those who think you cant win with adsense. You can it just takes some time. I remember last September 08' I was celebrating when I broke $10 for the month.
Now I just doubled that in one day !!
Go figure

[simonheng82]

congratulation, you should set your goal higher now, may $100 per week!

Simon

[clickkt]

[spartanic]

Congrats! I'm currently at $50 a month with adsense even though I haven't touched that site for quite a while now.

[JackPowers]

A question about what you say about blogs and age..

If you are using wordpress as static sites and not updating would that have negative effect?

[WebRank1]

Congrats on your Adsense success

When I got my first day @ $3.43 (this week) - well I was soooo excited - silly really but I was! I will have a big celebration for my first $100 month - whenever that happens.
