Money with Adsense?

15 years ago

Web Warrior,

adsense can be a great source of revenue and with enough sites or blogs or some very large ones you can bet your going to be making some money.

Alot depends on the niche and source of your traffic. Are you paying for traffic or do you have some established sites already?.

My traffic is mainly from search engines, some of the traffic comes from articles I have submitted to different places like EZA. My niche is information/encyclopedia. Adsense hasn't worked for me till now maybe because traffic to my sites isn't that high. I wanted to know if Adsense has really worked for anyone so I continue to try and concentrate on getting more traffic instead of looking for an Adsense alternative.

What will you suggest?

Thanks

Hi Web Warrior

Yes, it is possible to make a residual income with Adsense. As to whether that is the best option for your site - it depends on many factors; such as the niche, the type of site, the type of customers/visitors etc.

You'll find plenty of food for thought here: Adsense / PPC / SEO Discussion Forum

Good luck

Frank

Thanks

You can certainly make money with AdSense, but the amount depends on (1) the amount of traffic you get, (2) how many of those people click on ads and (3) the value of the clicks.

Where is the traffic going to come from? Lots of social media traffic is notoriously unlikely to click on ads.

I figured that out long back when I got like 15000 visitors from SU in a weeks time.

Traffic is from search engines, sites are information related and info in a vast number of topics so CPC varies a lot. What do you say, Adsense or something else?

Hmm, that doesn't add up. You say you got 15K visitors in one week but still didn't make any money w/ adsense?

I don't know how much you know about adwords/adsense and payouts, but check out the PPC discussion forum and then go here:

https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal

Look for high paying keywords after clicking "Show Estimated Avg. CPC" from the drop down box.

Hint: lawyers, insurance, donate

Yup I have been doing all that. What you have quoted was actually a reply to a person who was against the social media traffic. I was telling that once I got 15k visitors from a social site. This traffic does not click ads. And in case they do, they get you smart priced.

Depending on the keyword, you can make great money with adsense. Try to find keywords that pay $1-3 dollars per click instead of keywords that pay .10-.30 cents.

What Charles Montgomery said is exactly right. Use the AdWords keyword research tool to find the higher paying keywords. That way, even if you only get ten clicks a day, you're making some nice filler income.

The nice thing about AdSense is that once you get it going, it's rock-steady. You can count on it, and you don't really need to do much to keep it flowing. The bad thing is that it's hard to get going, at least it was for me.

If you're getting 1,000 unique visitors a day, you should be able to make some decent money.

Thanks

Same here, Adsense doesn't seem to be working for me. I have a combination of high and low paying keywords. My pages on SEO pay me more than 1$ on the average. I think I should look for an alternative that will do good for info related pages.

Thanks
