I have officially made money online!

Congrats. Now just scale up your efforts to make 10 times that and then 100 and then 1000... Thats how it works

So you had 6 people come to your site- but 9 people clicked?

Something seems a bit off my friend.

But congrats on making some moneez

If your website will have always something like 10 visits 15 clicks youll probably get banned from adsense , its fishy

its 6 page views thats all I know I haven't done anything it I promise you! I haven't even worked on it forever! According to google anaylitics 11 page views yesterday. Adsense tells me 6. Google anaylitics tells me also that one keyword that I didnt go after and went I looked up that keyword my site is on the front page of google

Congrats! Keep it up your good work! I have improvement in building list too! Cheers

good job keep up the hard work. I know the feeling I was checking all my sites a few days ago to see to my surprise a sale made on amazon for a $16 commission. The site has a great domain name not much seo done or recent articles. So I have a lot of work to do on it to make higher conversions.

Nice man.. Hope you make more.

If that's truly your stats, it's only a matter of time until you get banned from Google AdSense. Those stats definitely look unnatural, and Google will notice quickly.

As a couple others have suggested, I would take an honest look at those stats. 6 page views and 9 clicks is VERY suspicious. And please understand that I am not accusing you, ok? My CTR averages 2-3% (I don't do anything to 'maximize' my clickthrough rates). Nobody gets a sustained CTR that is very high. (I don't have a good average for you though, other than my own).

Make sure you avoid clicking your own adsense. Even for "testing" purposes, ok? If you did this by mistake, get in touch with them, and let them know of the 'mistake'. This is seen as click-fraud, and they see it EVERY DAY. If you did one on mistake (or, like me, 4 in a day when I was new and was like "WHOAH!" and amazed that I got it working )... just let them know you thought you were in testing mode or something and it won't happen again. For that matter, don't have your friends "help" you by clicking on your ads either. They have seen everything. Don't try to "trick" them. It doesn't work.

Now, for honest advice: The model is pretty easy to follow, but advertising cost-per-click is pretty cheap unless you get lucky with some higher paying niches and clicks. One of mine does okay at nearly 2 bucks per click. Another, is nickel clicks all damn day. I have had better "per click" success with targeted traffic and affiliate products. Affiliates in click bank, Amzn, insurance and finance have worked well. I have a finance-niche site that ties all 4 of 'em together. And I make some form of money from nearly every visitor that enters or leaves Lower traffic but that site is my money bags at the moment.

With "just" adsense, you have to have a well-paying niche, lots of traffic, and a moderately high (but not suspiciously high) CTR. Otherwise you're trickling in nickels all day. Even though the first few clicks are exciting, the excitement wanes and you'll end up wanting more (at which point, just scale up and make more sites, once you've maximized your first one).

Thats the whole account stats.

Look warriors,

I am really new to this I'm serious! I don't click on my ads at all. All I did was outed the AdSense code on to my websites wednesday got accepted Thursday. Looked at it this morning and that's my whole account stats. I have no friends who are clicking on the ads either. I just pitted the ads on my website and that's it. I will give you my ads reports from the ad I created it for it. I posted an AdSense code for my second part of the application.

I will I do not k.ow why it is that high at all!

First, congratulations!
If you want to earn $ 1,000 must first earn $ 1, $ 2 ... To maintain the work and applying many methods to let people know to your website.
Wish you will reap much more success! : D

I'f you caculate the real CTR in the calculator it is really 1.5 not 150%

I was making some decent money off adsense until I got banned for being clickbombed.

Blank, Blank, Blank

After looking at a couple of threads I think I am being clickbombed!

Yeh a 150% CTR is unheard of for that amount of clicks, its really as simple as that.

I just started sites just like you, one has 600 clicks and not one conversion yet. Something tells me your friend who has also been doing adsense probably clicked your ads to motivate you and is not telling you. Friends tend to do stupid **** like that not realizing he could get your account banned.

I've talked to you through pm and I know how much you hate blackhat so I know you're not clicking your own ads. But you may want to make sure your friend didn't do it wouldn't hurt to ask.

Either way, keep it up!!

edit: seeing from your most recent post I take that back, something else very odd seems to be going on.

/\ Wow, that just blew my mind. I really wonder if thats whats going on right now. A competitor clicking his ads, never even thought of it.

I will I need to report this to Google how can I? Also how can I see where the clicks are coming from?

Just looked at stat press Google has visited my site, I believe they know now somethings up.

I've had Google ads on my site for 5 years. I got one $100 check from them (over 2 years ago). I added a second site last year. I get traffic of approx 30 unique visitors per day to each site and suddenly got over 100 on one of the sites for several days in a row. Out of that surge of traffic I got 40 clicks on ads! So after 2 years I will get another check finally.

I post all of that to say I don't know what was driving the traffic. I know that sudden clicks *can* look funny but it really depends on so much, what drove the traffic there in the first place and what the ads are that are being displayed.

The new ads that I saw on the sites during this time were for a specific school that teaches the Arts and talks about teaching how to break into acting. Who knows? Maybe it was just a great ad. It worked well on my movie review page so maybe people interested in movies were interested in learning how to be an actor?

It said mediapartners-google adsense

I filed a contact support to Google about my situation!

whoa.. we're in the same boat buddy, i'm starting to make a living out of IM )

Ahh okay so I filed a report and Ill find a plugin. Like you said. What else should I do?

Nice work always great to see others finally earning.

Now it is my turn to make some serious money online.. never take action before but your story encourage me.

You filed a report with google over 9 click?

You need to read the terms of service of adsense carefully - don't post your CTR. Don't call attention to your new account by contacting google every few clicks.

You should work to build up the site - let google worry about the adsense clicks.

Keep it up dude great work.

Would yall mind taking off the quotes of my stats please and sorry king your right but with a CTR rate that high is just not right!

Congrats to your success.

There's never a dull moment with Flatbro, lol.

I just PM'ed Flatbro with the URL for the AdSense / WordPress plugin, but for anyone else who needs it, here's the article that has the link in it. I got it from Spencer Hawes @ NichePursuits.com:

congrats i mean even your first $1 online gives you that all needed confidence to strive for more.. good luck

I'm glad you made some money! I remember the first time I made internet dollars, it wasn't much but I was still stoked.

Yes, the people on this thread are right, just multiple whatever you are doing to get traffic times 100 then 1000. That's how it goes, just gotta upscale! Good luck!
