How much have you earned from Adsense so far?
I've earned $30.00 in just over 3 weeks.

    N O T H I N G till now even after a month of hard work. But, I am determined to break the jinx
    1. arisjulianta
      Hi Zenvengo! I got $200 for 7 weeks, all of my revenue came from free blogs (blogspot). Most of them are static blogs, not necessary to waste your time to do daily update. I haven't received the check, coz I just sent my PIN request to google on this morning. You can start your surf on my blogs at www.arisyulianta.blogspot.com.

    I have averaged between $50 and $100 per month.
    1. VampireFaust
      Wow! That's really cool!
    2. baloot
      whoa.. great job dude.. what is ur url?
    1. nancybryan
      the same situation, i think we need to start get money, 50$ its not so hard =)
  3. cymrusteve
    not much. i'm not sure how, but i received a $100 referral way back in my early days of signing up. i'm still around the $65 mark since my first and only payment, and it only increases by about 50 cents per day. I know I could be doing things better. It seems to be a winner for so many sites.

    $6.12 in two months...sheesh
    1. standalone
      I've got $7 in 1 month. I think I need to promote my site little harder...
  5. kiltak
    $800 per month
    1. circumstance
      how you do that..?
    2. kiltak
      I write informative content

      Howto material works best
    3. nancybryan
      hope its not hard? ;)))
  6. sexyinred
    Not more than $3...after all this time
  7. cymrusteve
    What's the secret kiltak?
    1. kiltak
      I wrote something about this for those of you who are interested: www.geeksaresexy.net/2007/03/22/turning-your-blog-into-a-money-making-machi...

    I've had an adsense account for a couple of years now and have yet to receive a payout.

    I have begun to see a rise in pennies, nickles, and dimes being added to my adsense piggy bank, however, since I started my blog.

    There's hope? :-)
    1. zakman
      hi Angela, I just visited your sites.

      You hardly have any adsense there! the beautytips has zero adsense and the Baby Boomers has only one link ad at the top (which by itself doesn't produce any revenue. One needs to click on the ads created by the link ads)

      I'm almost 100% sure you'll see more action once you add some more adsense. Go for it -- just experiment! G'luck.
    2. Angela
      Zakman, thank you. :-) I have been trying to determine which ads and/or referrals would be my best bet as well as where to place them on my Baby Boomers blog. I think I need to clean some things off my sidebars and then step back to see about where to place them. It's getting to be too cluttered IMO.

      I haven't made a definite decision yet as far as whether or not to put them on my Beauty Tips blog. I'm an Beauty Consultant and would much prefer to draw attention to the products I provide rather than someone else's. This blog is more geared towards building relationships with potential clients and providing them as well as my existing clients with tips and knowledge. :-)
    3. VampireFaust
      That's a good question...How much do you have to reach before they actually pay you?
    4. furniture27
      Fresh content is the most important thing. There is so much duplicate content out on the web that you want get much search engine love this way. www.copyscape.com/ is a site where you can see who also has that story on the web. Google is continually changing their alogrithims for page rank. As a result they are giving less and less credit as a trend to content that is not freshly written.
      en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PageRank
      If you are not using the google toolbar it can be dowloaded for IE or Mozilla where you can see what sites are at.
  9. creative666
    I have several sites and at their best they pulled in $400 a month but since then I dont update as much as I should and its slipped to just over a $100
  10. confessing7girl
    i make a few cents per week!!!!!! sad but its soo true!!! i dont get how u guys make so much money u hv to hv like hundreds of clicks!!
  11. kiltak
    Just a warning to everybody here... disclosing your # of click, CTR or eCTR is stricly prohibited by adsense's TOS..

    You do have the right to tell how much you are making though.

    Better be safe than sorry!
    1. confessing7girl
      i wasnt asking!! thanx for the info
  12. cymrusteve
    Good point and thanks for the link by the way...
  13. gadegigo0
    About zero.Maybe i would do a bit better if i actually had adsense.
  14. taylorblue
    i've only made 50 cents so far...
  15. m38967
    since starting my blog, my earnings are steadily increasing. but nothing to brag about, yet. and i see the potential in blogging versus forums or regular websites. my aim is to become a pro blogger and earn a living from it.
  16. Anniepooh
    Absolutely NADA, because I refuse to put the ads anywhere but at the end of my page :O)
    1. gsmile
      You have to put it where everyone can see it to actually earn more clicks.
    2. Anniepooh
      I thought my answer conveyed that I really didn't care--'cause I don't! It's an experiment along with a few other things on my page.
    3. VampireFaust
      See, that's my dilemma...I would probably place them low on the page so I doubt I'll really receive that many clicks...but I could be wrong...we'll see...
  17. dharmagypsy7
    lol... I scrapped it altogether.. I think I made $.86

    I think it's great for websites that offer internet advice and marketing advice and get loads of traffic but if you don't blog about that; it's better finding your own affiliates

    linkshare and sharealinnk are two companies I signed with and found my own affiliates. I hope this works out better. Plus I have better control over the ads. I think one time Adsense had a dildo up there.. I was beyond mortified. But I will read your article anyways kiltak.. who know's maybe I will give it a whirl again.
    1. kiltak
      Wrong, you can write about anything.. and people will come. You only need to market it properly.

      Diet, health, technology, marketing, diseases, food, consumer electronics, psychology, these are *ALL* profitable niches.

      and there's 100's of other ones.
  18. dharmagypsy7
    well to each their own.. I am happy with my affiliates.
  19. rippinkitten
    I think I'm up to $1.70! Whoo!
    1. nancybryan
      you should ream some info for increasing your money(good blog)
  20. zakman
    First two weeks: Less than $1
    April: About $2.50
    May so far: About $9.50

    Guess I got to wait a li'l more before bidding for the Empire State Building.
    1. bobman024

  21. gsmile
    Does anyone have secrets to spill?

    1. Serenacyh
      Woo...$9.71...phew! (June 2007)
  27. zakman
    Last friggin 4 days I'm getting one click per day, each 1 cent.
    1. confessing7girl
      hey i use adsblacklist to get rid of the low cost per click ads and made for adds junk!!
  28. bidarlah
    no where need double digits $$$...argh. why??? and it's been double digits months now.
  29. kirewass
    Now Google has sent me my first 100$.
    1. nancybryan
      very good
  30. mustbethatgirl
    My figures are pathetic. So I don't look at the stats anymore. I think they're hopeless. I don't care about adsense anymore, maybe one day, I take them all off.
    1. confessing7girl
      im caring less and less about it!! i just let it be!!! doesnt give me any extra work to hv the adds on so if i can make a few cents its good!!
  31. decarn
    I just started Google AdSense two weeks ago. So far I have been earning an average of 0.50 cents a day.
    You can read about my views on google AdSense here -> myblog-log.blogspot.com/2007/05/maximize-your-google-adsense.html

    I'm thinking... I know that encouraging clicking is wrong, but what if we were to set up a google AdSense community? I'm sure all of us at some point or the other do click on Google Ads because we are genuinely interested in the advertised site. Rather then let an unknown party earn from it, why not let a person in our community whom we know earn and I'm sure he/she will appreciate that.
    1. gsmile
      I think if Google finds out, your original payment amounts could be deducted.
    2. confessing7girl
      u know thats completely illegal!!
    3. gsmile
      So if you want that "event" to get big, you would be practicing illegal activity...
    4. terencechang
      That is not going to work. Google will find out and ban your site forever.

      You should research on how many people join Google everyday and how many of them are banned few months later .. They will not get any $$$.
  32. decarn
    Hi gsmile and confessing7girl,

    No problem. I will drop this idea. Wouldn't want to do anything that's against Google TOS. I will continue exploring other online advertising programs.

    Thanks for the warning.
    1. gsmile
      You're welcome. Just don't want any BlogCatalog friends getting in trouble.
    2. confessing7girl
      no problem!
  33. plusultra
    I am at 91 dollars or so. I should reach the minimum 100 dollar payout soon. How exciting!
  34. Randlet
    Has anyone else found that their check from google is half hanging out of the envelope when you grab it from the mail box?

    I make about 20-30 dollars a month with google.
    1. zawadi
      they want it back lol
  35. markcutler
    I am up to just over $3.00 in one week,,,,,Not too bad i don't suppose
  36. crpitt
    About $12, but i have only got two adsense boxes up. Not sure where else to put them?
  37. zakman
    I'll thank my stars if I don't OWE them money.
  38. ahynes1
    I dumped Adsense. As much as I like Google, I think Adsense is fundamentally flawed. I wrote a little bit about it on my blog,
    www.orient-lodge.com/node/2123
    1. cymrusteve
      Thanks for sharing that information ahynes1. First thoughts would be that's a shame, but you're right - $70 won't make too much difference to either you or Google.
    2. gsmile
      Thanks for sharing. Google can ge so ignorant when they have tons of other publishers. Switch over to Bidvertiser.
  39. dharmagypsy7
    For those who's making money on Adsense (about $100 or so) what's your secret because I make like cents every day.
  40. dharmagypsy7
    well that is before I took it down.
  41. WokeupToday
    $1.82

    How can I boost traffic ??? What other referring sites are good
    1. dharmagypsy7
      If you are into yoga. I suggest Gaiam.. they have a linkshare program.
    2. WokeupToday
      I am into Yoga Thanks dharmagypsy - checking Gaiam out now
  42. decarn
    Besides AdSense, what other online ads do you guys use with good results?
    1. 2WriteHands
      AdBrite.com seems decent. I dumped AdSense and went with it for a while--made $13. I'm still not sure whether the ads are worth the distraction they create on my blog, but generally I think a few cents is a still a few cents I didn't have before.
  43. cymrusteve
    Bucks4Banners is easy money (it won't make you a millionaire however), especially if you have several sites/blogs:

    www.cymru66.com/blogging/bucks4banners-you-display-the-banners-they-provide...

    I'm going to look at Bidvertiser as suggested by Gsmile sometime soon.
    1. gsmile
      Nice. Except my currency is $, not ÂŁ. And isn't ÂŁ5.00 a little... less?
    2. decarn
      I already have a Bidvertiser at the bottom of my blog. It doesn't seem to generate very relevant ads because it is program to display the highest bid ad. I'm still testing it out and I believe it complements AdSense well because there are no restrictions to the number of ads you can place. I will read more on it and do a review of Bidvertiser tonight.

      Thanks cymrusteve for introducing Bucks4Banners, I will go take a look.
  44. cymrusteve
    My currency is $ too. They'll convert it before they pay you. That's how I understand it anyway. I chose PayPal over Amazon gift certificates...

    I first read about it here:

    www.elizabeth-rose.info/2007/05/23/make-money-online-update/
  45. marco71
    I think I made about $1, that was a while ago, then upgraded to Blogger beta, the AdSense disappeared never tried again.

    I don't have enough time to sustain the level of posting required to attract enough readers. I just blog whenever I have little bit of time (like now on holiday).

    However I joined two affiliate program this week-end will see (SEOBook and Amazon).

    Do you make enough money to "pay" for the time you spend blogging anyway?
    1. gsmile
      I think blogging should be a hobby.
  46. decarn
    Hi guys, I have done a review of Bidvertiser - myblog-log.blogspot.com/2007/05/my-review-on-bidvertiser-alternative-to.htm...
    Please drop me a comment. Thanks!
  47. rappinhood
    My first payout took more than a year (December); my second was in April; I'm halfway to my third. I think it just takes time.
  48. jungl
    Under 20$ in a couple of months.
    Wish it was more, but have been a lot of fun
  49. Randlet
    Took me ages to make my first 100 (maybe a year), but the more I blogged the more I earned, the result being I've made 200 in just a few months.

    I'm putting my payments on hold so I can have some nice Christmas holiday cash.
  50. eJayz
    I'm a newbie with blogging as well as google adsense. I earned $11.00 in my fisrt month with google adsense and so far this month (June) I've earned $3.00. Not as much as what I hope to be earning but better than nothing I guess.
  51. ElizabethE
    I have Text Link Ads, Adsense, and Bidvertiser, and the only one that makes me money is Text Link Ads. I made $35.00 last month.
    1. RPFiction
      ElizabethE, is the Text Links Ads that of www.text-link-ads.com ?
    2. pumpsmart
      I just looked at 2 of your sites and found no Adsense advertisements. How do you make money from Adsense when it doesn't appear on your pages?

      Also... what system do you use for your text link advertisements?
  52. ejcooksey
    In the 3 months I have had my blog, I am up to $35 at Adsense. I also have Bidvertiser, but just started with them, I have made $ .45 so far. I have a few more I will apply to after June 17th when my blog is officially 90 days old.
  53. syafthegeek
    Now my adsens is $2... it's pathetic
  54. Theresa111
    The last time I checked I had earned $2.94 and that was perhaps two weeks ago. I am getting ready to dump Google Adsense because they are the only ones making money off of my efforts.
    1. Roseb44170
      I really hope you decide not to dump them. Google's Adsense program is one of the few legit ways to make money online.

      Almost every blog has the potential to make money using Adsense - your blog just needs a good looking over to see how it can be optimized better.
  55. Carleenp
    I'm getting roughly around $40/month.
  56. oadria
    How much is 0$ in Euros? :-). Well, I just started 2 weeks ago, but even if I don't get any money, I am posting on things I'm passionate about, so I will keep this going :-). And I'm also learning a lot by researching news!


    To the people who get around 50 dollars/month or more, could you also tell us a little bit on how much time you spend on blogging? Thanks and cheers to all passionate bloggers :-).
  57. johnko5057
    i earned about 35Usd in about one month
  58. blogcabins
    I had been making 0, but just checked AdSense again. 8 cents!

    There will be a party in two years - you're all invited.

    blogcabins.blogspot.com
    1. gsmile
      Thanks. I'm looking forward to the party!
  59. gizmobozz
    $400~600/month, do the research post some good content so you can up your gains...on the first month was like $2, LOL.
  60. ethelwenn
    I've had Adsense like FOREVER! Only managed to make $5.10 so far. LOLOLOL!
  61. gsmile
    I've now hit $70 in one month! $30 more to go!
  62. sixuntilme
    Not enough.
  63. circumstance
    i got nothing..
    but do picture ads is easier to get money or
    text ads?
    1. kiltak
      Text ads work best...

      and studies have proven that visitors that come from search engines have 14X more chances of clicking on ads since what they're searching for is highly targetted.
    2. gsmile
      I agree... text ads work best.
    3. circumstance
      emm.. if photoblog i will post only picture.. so i can't give useful content like you say kiltak.. so.. do photoblog is not work well with adsense?
  64. bumbl3b33
    The most I made was $o.o2, yay! Then I decided to drop Adsense cos I'm not blogging for the money. I am happy enough that people actually visit my blog and leave comments:):):)
  65. firepowr
    i'm about 15 bucks, and I've had it for about 2 and a half years.
  66. franxbudi
    I just got Us $ 8 arround two month..Anybody want to help me..review my blog secretofmind.blogspot.com Thanks
  67. ladyinfluence
    i had an adsense account before but it was suspended for invalid clicks. i was making 1-7 dollars a day on average. The pay per click is really high-- over $1 per click. I was able to find the right highpaying keywords for my blog. It took weeks of testing and experimenting but only to be terminated before i was to receive my first check.

    i don't know why it was terminated. just one day, after 5 days of inactivity online, i checked my account and boom-- everything was gone. i must have violated some rules. i never clicked on my ads but i did a lot of advertising and really a lot!!!
  68. circumstance
    i got my first 96cent today..haha
  69. nuaeman
    My first month adsense revenue is only $ 2.30.
  70. thereyoucome
    0,
    I removed it for several days, but added it now, just for infomation.
  71. badm00n
    Just over $5 in 3 weeks.

    Obviously the best way to earn more is to get more traffic. But it has to be a certain type of traffic. Communties that already know about ads, such as digg users, other bloggers won't increase your clicks no matter how much traffic they send. Yet there are other people that "click happy" and will click on whatever they see. For the most part, these people come from Search engines.
  72. chelloveck
    I have made only $21 in the last two months, which is not that much, although my blog is in Hungarian (one must use the webtranslator to read it). It doesn't have anything to do with traffic: my readers just don't care about G's sometimes stupid ads, they only read the content and they comment them, that's all.
    It's a long process to make any substantial money with actually zero job.
    I dunno when I'm gonna get rich from AdSense...
  73. zawadi
    just under 30 bucks, in over a year lol
  74. konkova
    I do about .50 to $1 per day. I got my first $100 check a few months ago and will get my second in a couple weeks. I work at optimizing to do better, but it's not improving much.
  75. writingtrue
    I wrote about this recently (Bloggin' for Nothin' and the clicks are free), noting that--just as kiltak has indicated--you need to decide what your blog is for, and if it's for profit, write what sells--especially how to pieces aimed at other bloggers.

      Hello,
      I don't know if this makes any difference or not, and I realize that English is not your first language, but there are many mistakes in your first paragraph. It might put people off. I'll correct it for you if you feel that you need that.

    Ad placements are important ..not just "having an ad" ...
    color scheme..etc.. whole array of things you can do to optimize
    i am hitting 100-200 a month ..
    check out my site for inspiration
    fishforfood.blogspot.com
    1. wilfordsy
      Hey dude. I checked out your site and very good optimization concept. But I was wondering, how long have you been doing that?

      I'm not exactly sure but I remember reading that that is against Google TOS. Just want to make sure.
  83. wilfordsy
    I earned my first adsense check with $102 in 4 months time.
    Not very much. Thats why I'm looking into other sources of revenues. I found this new one that pays you for embedding free videos on your site.
    Check out my post:
    www.mcbilly.com/2007/06/21/get-paid-for-embedding-free-videos-on-your-site/

    Hope this helps.
  84. gsmile
    Now I've got $150 in two months. I think it's pretty good.
  85. shawnlim
    I'm jus earning few cents for about 3 months of blogging.
    Dunno why, feeling kind of unfair, lolz.
    Maybe the traffic flow to my blog is not great enough, only around 30-50 a day. U guys have any idea how to increase traffic and Adsense revenue?

    Pls share. thanks
  86. terencechang
    Just a reminder to you all AdSense fan. Don't try to push your AdSense too hard in any ways. Focus on your content, which can benefit your viewer. If you push your revenue too hard, Google may just ban you forever. Don't dramatic increase your page views or traffic. There is no magic to boost your traffic in few days. Google will monitor the rising stars ... and shot it down.

    Trust me. I was once the the shinning star. Now I am in the black hole.
    1. sinnfeiner
      That's very true. I had posted a youtube video on my site that had a clip of the Simpsons. I received a SURGE of traffic because of it, mostly through technorati in Japan. Now I didn't have clicks, but I went from 30-50 per day to 300, for 3 days. I got a very terse letter from Google indicating that "paying" or offering "incentives" is against their ToS. It was just a warning letter. I actually got two, but they were seconds apart.

      I wrote them an explanation that I never did that and simply got a canned reply.
  87. MoneyMakingIdeas
    I've earned $2000+ since Jan 2007. Hint: rich content, best adsense placement, howto (same as Kiltak), fun themes, good traffic and interesting niche.
  88. Bloggrrl
    $0.97!! Nothing from Bloggrrl, because I still need to put Adsense on there. The 97 cents is from a few articles I wrote that I have had parked on Blogger for a couple of weeks.

    great content, traffics traffics and more traffics can help you with adsense. If not you will get nothing just free advertising. Adsense not quick rich scheme.
  90. komirad
    I have got $300+ these 2 months
    but its mostly not from blogging although I made some $$ from blogging too
    My main blog is here: komirad.com

    And my money blog tells you how: moneyearningclub.com/
  91. borzack
    about $90 since Nov 2006... it's that baddddd.... lol
  92. keystoattainment
    This is going to sound mad, but I'm so pleased to have earned $1.45 since I've had Adsense, I haven't even got the payment thing sorted yet. I think this has inspired me to do some serious work:-)

    I use adsense because anything is better than nothing,which is a good attitude to start with. After reading most of these replies, Im inspired to tighten up and play with this more. Theres potential for the blog to be self-supportive if nothing else. Right on. 4$ here.
  94. wares4life
    Not one thin dime...I don't use adsense, way too many competitors just waiting to click-bomb.
  95. nusuni
    I get crap from it, every time I try putting it on my main blog I get a bunch of angry e-mails, so it has to go on my really low traffic ones instead. Would much rather have happy readers than mad ones.
  96. nyctaper
    My blog opened on May 11, 2007. As of today I have $13.44 in my AdSense account. Its not exactly helping much in the way of off-setting the bandwidth costs. At least its something. My Commission Junction account has exactly $00.00 in it.
  97. ccarey76
    Mine is over $330 a month not counting affiliates which should boost that up around 2 to 300 dollars. Thats just on Noheat.com

  100. graceofangels
    Maybe This is not the right place to ask....?
    But still I want to ask a question about adsense..
    Do you have to pay for it before you can apply that?
    I also want to earn money By just blogging because
    I cant find a job in our town for now because Im still A student..
    Maybe your answers can help?.. Sorry wrong post here.. ^_~

    What has been your highest payout for a single click? People have been reporting that they got $17 for one click. Must be some really pricey insurance ads or something.

    I think mine was 37 cents.

      Wow. $17? Must be a big company.

    Well I still enjoy reading everyone's comments. Here is a link to a blog entry about how much money people are making with Adsense:

    adsenseconsultant.blogspot.com/2007/05/just-how-much-money-can-you-make-wit...

    I see that I have posted here twice before. So far I have managed to earn at least the $100 month minimum each month - but of course I am striving for more!

    I know "to each his own" but don't give up on your blog or Adsense. I think its a great way (and more importantly a great LEGITIMATE way) to be able to earn money online.
  109. ZoeRouth
    I make about $20-30 a month, and almost none of it is from my blogs. It is all from my main website, www.innercompass.com.au.

    There are a couple of main reasons for this: I have hundred of pages of fresh content on my website, and not as much on my newer blogs I also promote my websites through articles I publish in article directories, and I am also paying for Adwords to promote my ezine. So far my adsense does not equal my adwords income, but I do have 1000 people on my newsletter. Hurray!

    Sooo...it's all about targeted traffic, providing fresh content, and the missing piece (for me) is in a profitable niche!
  110. mikesilvia
    My secret, but I get 40 clicks a day
  111. thastoner
    Ive earned nothing but ive only been going for 2 weeks check this lot out $100,000 a month from blogging wow if only lol whowotme.blogspot.com/2007/07/info-how-top-bloggers-earn-money.html
  112. plusultra
    I am very excited about receiving my very first check from google last week. It was about 100$, but it took a long time for me to reach that (about 1 year). Lately my adsense is doing better, but it still is not making me very much per day.
    1. thereyoucome
      lol..wish you more next year. I hope I can get that 1 year later

    About a .21 in a week. Then I've taken it off.
    I'm not quite sure that humor blogs are profitable with adsense or affiliate programs.
    People are are going there to entertain not to buy anything.
    Maybe Adsense will help, If I have tons of traffic. But not now.
    Correct me if I wrong.

    It was slow at first. I've lately tweaked the placement and size. Also, reduced the number of ad blocks to just 2. I'm now seeing an uptick in revenue. Just $6.40 for Mar-July. After making changes = $6.00 for August. Feeling flush may treat myself to a cheeseburger and cherry coke!

  124. Luciano63
    Hi guys, I think that Terence Chang is right: it is the content of our posts that will make the differerence...and most of all it will take time to build it day by day...my source of money comes from Adsense, Revver videosharing (I make short thematic videos on design creative related themes..) and recently I put a "donation by PaPal (very descrete one). I am not making much..I consider myself down avarage...However I have got good suggestions today by reading some comments..thanks and visit my Design Blog (naturally) www.lucianobove.blogspot.com Ciao!

  128. Norski
    I'm making more, faster, from one of my blogs, than from all but the best of my Web pages on more conventional sites. So far, anyway. There's so little data this could be a statistical hiccup.
  129. ender
    i made the $100 payout in about 9 months or so.
  130. Kaliopy
    Roughly 12 cents in 5 months. After reading Robert Scoble's book Naked Conversations, I actually believe that I was going to be making thousands! I donated the book to the local thrift shop
    1. lisamcglaun
      kali,

      I don't see any adsense adds on Out of Focus...do you still use them?
  131. Roseb44170
    Unfortunately any blog can be worked with if you want to optimize it for adsense. Remember "Mad" magazine? It was done for humor and they had ads in their magazine.

    You have to make the decision whether or not you want to optimize your blog or website for adsense and then make it possible!

    I've been with adsense since 2002 and started blogging May 31, 2005. I first hit the cumulative $100 payout in Dec/2005 and broke $100 per month in Feb/2007. I have been luckier with Text-Link-Ads in 2007 and was averaging upwards to about $175 per month - until June 2007 when I moved all my accounts from 2 servers to a virtual private server (VPS). I then got another lump of downtime in August converting again to a dedicated server because the VPS wasn't enough. This month of Aug/2007 .. I'll be lucky to break $75 in adsense.

    If you listen to what everybody who is making money with adsense .. listen good. It's all about the traffic. The more people that come to your site the more opportunity you will have to make make money. To get that traffic, you really do need more than BlogCatalog or MyBlogLog to promote your sites .. you do need content and you do need readers. 80% of my traffic so far is from search engines.

    My Canadian 2cents (almost worth as much as USD 2 cents now!) PS: I documented a little back in January 2007 here > www.hart-empire.com/2007/02/my-google-adsense-earnings-review/

  142. Importjap
    Not much, I think 30$ in a year since I last checked. I'm more focussed on decent content and implementing some rather large community features at the moment though, rather than monetizing.

    $800 a month would be nice, my hosting costs will no doubt reach that soon given the rate at which traffic is increasing ! Thumbs up to those succeeding with adsense!
  143. rolandshows
    Hi Discussion-Members:“Stop giving your profits to Google”
    The website Google doesn’t want you to know about
    I just found this monetizing tool to give Adsense the boot.
    Create your own ads and keep all the commissions on any
    product. Just copy and paste. It's unbelievable easy!

    Considering that I really didn't have much traffic (like under 20 visitors a day!), it's really more like a month and a half. My goal is not really not to get rich, but rather pay for my hosting fees. And maybe a bottle of good tequila. Other than that, I blog for fun.

  154. Tigger
    Guys, I don't get it.

    After 6 months of constant blogging (1-4 posts a day!), I've only made...um, lets see...load you stupid page...$17.75 cents. I want to cry. I get on average, 300-500 visitors a day. I try and read stupid books about how to optimize adsense and it's made some difference...like a few extra cents and that's it!

    Could anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I don't like to fill up my posts with keywords because it just pisses me and my readers off. But what's the point of writing funny-ish content if the ads still aren't relevant?

    My websites are www.soggycornflakes.com/bollywood
    www.soggycornflakes.com/celebrities

    Any help would be seriously appreciated. Thanks.
  155. IngaOz

  158. clioandme
    I'm up to a whopping $0.90 for my first month. I don't foresee great progress given my traffic levels (and discerning readership ), but I'll leave it up a bit more. If nothing else, it has been interesting to see what links appear and how the whole process works. Since I never began blogging to earn money, it won't have any effect on my blogging.
  159. thajmode

  169. Offbeatnews
    Since this discussion was started, I have been searching for ways to increase my Adsense earnings, because I believe it is a solid way to truly earn money. I found this product that has over 2000 keywords for sale. It's a $5 investment and I figure I can afford to invest $5 into something that could help me get better. I recently read on John Chow's blog about his Google Adsense earnings, I know I have quality relevant content, so this investment isn't hurting me any...here is the link if anyone is interested:

  174. estertey
    it was only recently that I started having daily clicks on my Adsense when I blog about the Bible for a couple of days.. But I only earn less that $2.00/day for a couple of hits..gee... Traffic is good though... And today I didn't post anything about the bible and I didn't get any hits on my google adsense.. I will try it again tomorrow and see.
    Use webmaster tool and it will tell you what topics that is giving you traffics and it will give you google adsense clicks..

    Thank you in advance
    1. cafecafe
      Zola, you need to implement Meta Tags (description and movie related keywords).
      Try to place at least one ad above the fold (probably inside the post, below the title (468x60) or right below the blog description (728x90).
      Send your blog to some directories and exchange links with movie related sites.
      I just added you to my blogroll in a PageRank 4 movie related blog CineUruguay.blogspot.com (I have 1900 pages or so).
      Keep posting those articles and you´ll be in the money for the next Google dance.
      Good luck.

    My latest Blog wealth-wizard.blogspot.com is only a week or so old and has generated just under $50 already. (I am pushing a little traffic from other blogs)

    Since I placed ads between posts a couple of days ago, I have seen a definate increase in clicks.

    It is so strange how some sites work but others (That I think are awesome) earn peanuts.

    Go figure?

    Well, it's nice to hear it's working for some. I must say I have only earned $15.00 over a period of a few months! But, much of that has been in the last couple months since I started my garden blog - so maybe things will look up.
    Regardless, I enjoy blogging and if I get a few bucks that's gravy.

    This is probably one of the most frequently posted topics on the BC forum. I typed your title into the Discussion search in the sidebar and was knocked over by the number of active threads active there are in there asking the same question.
    Here's the link

    I don't believe that it's impossible to earn $300 per month. I earn $300 in just 21 days. But you have to do as like me. www.topmovies2.blogspot.com

    Not many. Only 0.20 per day. When I hear people can produce more. For 6 months only collected $ 38 make me sad. There are tips for me?

    Adsense sucks!
  222. oadria
    A gazillion-billion-drillion dollars. Divided by a gazillion-billion-drillion, minus 91 cents. So I made my first 9 cents yesterday, haha. Though I invested 5 bucks into AdWords :-/.

    Not to worry, I'm currently building my readership base and not my revenue (that comes later :-) ).
