Another record day for me with AdSense

Wow! That's a huge achievement! Thanks for posting this as you've given me more inspiration on pursuing my goal.

I looked for that magic bullet, over and over. This one got me hooked as I love the news. I spent over two months building this site and then after GN approved me (approximately a month ago), I spent a couple of weeks plus, before I was making any money consistently. Now it is just going gang busters.

Didn't I say in the post that this is from one site. I only have the ads on one site. The others are not doing anything. This was done with one site, publishing three to five articles per day, every day. I even do it on weekends as I love what I am doing. But many just work Monday to Friday.

Thanks for the congratulations folks. I appreciate it.

You got that right. I get up every morning, not early, and work on this. Seven days a week. But I don't really think of this as work, as I am enjoying it.

I was lucky enough to get a referral to a good writer. I was going crazy firing writers until Tina gave me his email address. We have worked well together ever since. Which reminds me, I was supposed to pay him today. I better do that before I go to bed. It is past my bed time already.

I have two banners below the title, and one banner mid way down the article. I got no secrets, check out my site at*****sorry I had to remove this

My writer is concentrating on writing or rewriting news articles now. If that is what you are looking for, then send me a PM. He might be willing to do regular SEO article stuff, but I think he prefers to do the news. I don't know if he has any more available slots, that I can't guarantee. But I am more than willing to make a referral if he has available time.

One site. Multiple niches I would guess. It is a general news site, so what ever is in the news is prime material. Especially if it will convert to decent CTR. That is the trick. The articles don't stay up like the articles you spent months doing back linking for. But I publish an article, and ten to fifteen minutes later it is on Google News first page, and maybe on G as well. Last few days, I have had multiple articles make it to G and GN first page number one spot, and a couple that made it to a little lower down.

I have had over 7K page views today, and over 6K unique, and 37 returning. I am starting to build a following as my returning seems to be getting larger each day. I am kind of proud of my site. But I plan to sell it shortly and start another one. So if you know anyone that would be interested in buying it, let me know. I would rather not put it on Flippa if possible. I am kind of attached to it, so I might now sell, but I am really tempted. I think it would fetch a good price. I have had 23K visitors this past week. If I was list building, I could make a fortune I would think. But I don't really grasp the list building stuff.

But anyway, I got to go to bed. it is past my bed time.

Sometimes you think it is better to build a quality site that has a lot of loyalty, but it seems to me, that it is better to have a site that attracts the traffic, but low loyalty. Low loyalty = users more likely to click a link to leave your site.

I took E. Brian Rose's training and am a member of his forum. I hope that is not going to get all the whiners at the GN forum reporting me for SPAM as they think that all of EBR's students are SPAMers. That is not what he teaches, and if you SPAM GN, you will get de-listed pretty quick. His training has got a lot more expensive since he stopped the WSO, but he is still recruiting many students, so I guess it is worth it.

Not really, as best as I can tell. My technique is to try to publish articles that people are looking for. The stuff that is in the news now. I gravitate towards product or merchant oriented subjects, as that is what pays in AdSense, as best as i can tell. I am really still just feeling my way in the dark. Try something and see if it works, and then do the same the next day. Repeat what works, and quit what doesn't. I have had many $1-$2 and even a $0.67 day last week. But I have been on a roll lately. I just hope I can keep it up.

I have had CTR's of 12% and 14%, and average yesterday across all my revenue was about 8% if I remember correctly. But I don't remember for sure, and it is against GA to show that CTR as I understand it. So those are ball park numbers.

Yea, I didn't realize who I got when I hired her, as it is all done over the internet, no pictures. I should have remembered the name as I watch her on Fox as much as I can, she is sooooo cute.

Advanced Newspaper, don't remember who makes it. I think it is $59, but I got it as part of a deal through a reseller. It is GNU licensed, so if you buy it, you can sell it. I guess I could sell it to you for $20 if you want it.

That is weird. I have two banners under the title, and one in the middle. I sometimes see them mess up, but I don't look at the articles much after I publish them, unless I am checking on something. Thanks.

Oh, so I guess you are saying I Photoshopped it? If I was that good with a graphic program, I am not sure I would waste my time, for what, to impress Warriors. I got better things to do.

BTW, this is done with a better than 7% CTR. Yesterday I had over 7K impressions, and over 500 clicks. Much less than the 25% to 30% or more CTR that some have claimed. I have reached above 14% on some articles.

I got better things to do than make up crap to impress you. obviously it wouldn't work as you don't even believe the truth. So be it, I don't really care. I don't think that is the reputation I have here anyway.

Answered above. eCPM was well over $25.

I am sure it is. I would be happy with a lot less. Which is where I am heading today, from the looks of it.

I am sorry, this is way over my head, I am not real familiar with the technical stuff of AdSense. I am funbling around as best as I can. I just happened to stumble onto something that was good, and I am rinsing and repeating as best as i can.

Awesome result Congratulations

Tim, getting approved by GN is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You deserve all you get for that! You've been one of the good
guys here and I bow at your success!

Paul

Tim -

Really happy for you - you stuck with it and finally something that works.

Time to stop giving out info, though - as you can see, you will have some people saying you can't do what you are doing - and others only interested in trying to copy you.

You finally found something to give you traction - now run with it and duplicate it and keep going.

Oh my, your keyword(s) must definitely be high paying. I'm getting roughly twice the amount of impressions per day and not getting anything near that! I'm still happy though. Either way, impressive!!!

This site was a general news site, with arts & entertainment (sports, entertainment, and stuff) lifestyle (health, and just about anything that applies to lifestyle), business news and finance, technology, and legal and identity theft.

Ads are two banners under the title, and one banner in the middle of the article.

I had one of the big blocks under the title, which I always was told was the best. But someone told me that my article was too far down the page and had to be scrolled to read the article, and looked like I was just more interested in the ads than anything. So I put the two banners, which gave me the four ads, but in less vertical space. My CTR SEEMED to increase. i didn't keep records, so it may just be my impression. But I was getting 5-6% up to better than 14% for different articles. So nothing real fantastic, but not too shabby.

My last day, the day of the sale on the site, I had over 1,500 clicks on the site. Many of them on a couple of turkey articles. Unfortunately they only paid about $014 each, but it still added up to a decent amount.

I think my best day on Adsense was about $3.50...

I gave up on adsense a while ago, right after I hit the $100 payout I took my adsense down and replaced them with affiliate ads, I make more money with those.

BUT, that is on my blog with regular readers, not search traffic. I am considering setting up a few niche sites with adsense for revenue to see how I can do now that my knowledge has risen a bit, but only time will tell..

Good job on hitting $200 in a day on adsense! That's great!

Your kidding right?

Last time I did that I saw over a dozen copy-cat sites in my face six months later. I only give away the niche now if it's fairly good, and something I don't ever plan to compete in. You know -- like Bull Semen. HUGE clicks. BIG money, but I would giggle too much working on that niche. (sort of like I am now)

Get rid of the ECPM data - Adsense TOS, or did they change that?

Great achievement. Keep up the good work.

I started with a writer, but I never paid him that much. I can't believe how cheap he works, and how good his product is too boot. I got damn lucky in finding him, thanks to a wonderful Warrior named Tina.

I didn't have a history of income, so I could not get as much as you would normally would for a site with a history.

I had a need for cash, and had good income, and so chose to flip it quick while the income was good. I have no way of knowing if that income would contiue.

They say to not put AdSense on your site till you are approved. I am not sure I buy this, but I have followed it, so far.

Google works on their own schedule. I had my first site approved over the weekend. My next site took them over a month to respond to me.

GN sites are not long term sites because articles drop from GN after time and you have to keep it up with article writing, however you can flip GN sites for profit. If you agree with all of this then it might be the way for you.

A news site depends on your current articles for income. After an article is a few days old, the traffic diminishes to next to nothing. So you have to continually publish to keep the revenue coming in. If you can't write stories that people want to read, and click on the ads, then your revenue will not be there. You can't depend on it. All you can do is expect that you know what you are doing and keep working on getting articles published. If you manage to hit a few good stories, then the revenue will be up, and that is what was happening to me. I thought it should last till Christmas, but wasn't sure it would continue past Christmas.

I had a need for quick cash, and had a chance to sell the site, so I did. If I had not had the need for cash, I would have kept it. But I got what I wanted out of it. Now I have to repeat the process a few times. It was fun, and I want to do it over and over.

Great Job! Good for you for selling while its going good..Sometimes you cant tell what will happen a week later..

My site took off one day! Its been going gang busters ever since..I would never give out tooo much info if i were you..You never know what someone would do to get their hands on a site that makes money..

I seen it happen...Just saying

Hey Tim - Was your site de-listed from GN? I'm a fellow newsie and had two of my outlets kicked out over their low quality. (Oh yes, they were awful to look at but they were cranking out money.) I ask because I haven't heard much from you regarding your properties on GN.

Obviously I have no inside information but it seemed like the GN team did an audit to "weed out" any E. Brian Rose lookalikes.
