My reach to $100 AdSense

Tags: adsense $100
I finally reach that painful $100 revenue from AdSense. It took me well over 9 months with two to three months dormanting with no blog entries as I almost gave up hope with the process. I have a blog post where I have a cute conversation with my son on how to spend that $100 in Man 2 Man on AdSense techtheman.blogspot.com/2007/07/man-2-man-about-adsense.html. And my son challenged me for the next seemingly impossible goal to real. Making money on AdSense ads turns out to be much harder than I thought but reaching this small reachable goal gives me some renewed energy and insights. Thanks to all friends and neighbors in BlogCatalog.

Thank you. I would suggest not to listen to others hearing how easy it is to reach the first milestone in few days. My experience tells me that making money from AdSense is all about hard work and informed knowledge from the right source. And having BlogCatalog community really helps and you have to keep trying to iron out the skills and tips that you learn from others. Not all 'money' tips work and most of them are shamefully cut&paste from others with twisted ideas not proven. Yes, there are many people who are successful and they have the right to brag about it, the clueless bunch, myself included, should stay on and not to wither and let AdSense keep the unreached $100 balance.

BlogCabins, you have a wonderful blog on movies. Ever since having two kids, movie is a thing in the past for me. You blogs make me want to escape in the theatre -- a good read with ratings on movies. A definite fav from me but I don't see you with a technorati fav icon, please reply if you have the url.

NO kidding, I am in this a month and i only have $.65. I wonder if my site will ever break even.

Congrats! I'm no where near the $100 mark yet.
I hopefull it will pick up soon.

Everyone please go visit daisythecurlycat in daisythecurlycat.blogspot.com/2007/08/sea-monkeys-stage-two.html It is definitely worth $100 to visit. I will leave comment later on, perhaps a fav or two.

I try to visit everyone on this thread and make new friends and new neighbor. The Almighty has a wake up call for me to be good neighbor and cheerleaders. I will be supporting all of my friends not yet reaching that $100 goal. Let's gang up and not let AdSense easily run away with the unreached $100 balance.

I earn $4.00 for about two weeks in adsense. U think i can make it? i often showcase my blog to other sites thats why.
But i'm earning much more for those paid to review programs.-
Another good blog worth to play a visit. A good read and very pleasant stay in your blog. I like your template, layout and if you don't mind a critique or two, your banner is a bit congested. I love your footer but having the ads and too many text in your banner seem distracting from getting to your contents. Will revisit and offer comments and offer insights to share. Hope you do critiques for mine as well. Your donation notice is well noted and kudos to your efforts and generosity.

a big CONGRATULATIONS to you! i just placed adsense recently in my blogs:

i hope to get my first paycheck this september..
do come visit my blogs.. thanks..

Thanks for your suggestions and i really do appreciate it.
I'm planning to take out the banners that wouldn't earn much, probably after a month. I just started most of the programs, i know i have more way to go.
will visit yours too.-
I have finally signed up AdBrite from your referral. All the best. Please FAV back if you find it appropriate:

I'm at 18 dollars over the course of the first 3 weeks. Seems like alot, considering how recently I've made it.
I'm thinking it's because I have a blog meant for a very specific audience and the context ads are doing their job... Or I'm just misguiding my readers somehow with the layout. -_-;;
Cute story with the sons, by the way- You might find yourself a few cents richer if you check your account. Cheers, and good luck.

Thanks for the great comment and visit. You are right, I think your audience is well targeted. I can understand why your audience will come back with the great find of videos and well targeted contents. I have fav you in technorati, try out your helium referral and the 'lawyer design' ad in sidebar. And we become instant friend today.

Congrats on the $100! I had a relatively quick first $100 (took a couple of months with a few referrals), but it's taken since Septmeber 06 to get close to the next $100. As it stands I'm a few dollars short of the next payment. Just have to be patient I guess...
Nice discussion,
--Steve-
I like the referrals that you have. I just tried out the payperpost and I would go back and sign up from your page. Hope that helps your next milestone quicker. You have a blog worth to visit for interesting stuff around us such as the cute mini cooper and the golden ipod shuffle. Just fav in technorati. Remind me to visit your site if you don't see me.
-
thanks for the PayPerPost signup! Really appreciate it...
(here's the link in case anyone else wants it: tinyurl.com/2p2kay)
you'll also be pleased to hear i'm 20 cents closer to the $100 mark tonight
thanks again,

shaydelgado, I can tell that you love blogging not for the money. I can see that in your writing and pictures. Very stylish way of presenting the pictures and lots of beautiful artwork in your banner and sidebar. Just my 2 cent, don't go for 'adsense' for the sake of money. It may really spoils the fun with frustration at time. If I knew what I know today, I would have completely taken AdSense out of the picture. With AdSense, our misery is their fortune. Will fav and revisit again.

hinioman - most generous offer! thanks so much...
i've been browsing your tech blog for the last 10 minutes and likewise, there's lots of great reading to be had! i've subscribed to your feed so i won't miss anything
thanks again,
--steve -
Congratulations! My first $100 is yet way way off the mark. I wish I'll reach it someday. I wish you the best of luck on your blog and hopefully you'll reach another $100 in lesser than 9 months this time. Happy blogging!
thats-strange.blogspot.com -
I'm currently at $25.70. You know it's wierd, because I have a site that I don't promote and it's making more than the blogs I have.
-
I have got to learn from you how you make that much from few articles. It is not weird, I think you are onto something that has great potential. Games has its followers with frequent visits perhaps. Thank you for dropping by. Will add as friend. All the best.
BTW, I like your 2nd blog diag1.blogspot.com/ better. I am too tired to fav and others, remind me to visit in near future.
-
-
Congratulations! You did in in less time than it took me.
Now, if I can boost my traffic about a thousand-fold....
-
Norski, thanks for the comment. Just fav your Leming(?) blog among the 5 to 6 blogs you have. You have good writing skills and I wish I can write like you. When I visit your BlogCatalog profile, my 1st impression is that you have way too many blogs and I surely don't know which one to pick for a 'friendly' visit. Just my opinion but you may have different interest for trying out what works. All the best to you.
-
-
-
Thanks for visit, just add you as friend. Your blog title doesn't seem to match your content. Maybe you meant the title as 'political science student life' or something that is more on your personal blog. I have expectation in reading a blog and first clue come from title and next is content. First few months are the hardest but $1.30 in 1st month is not too bad if you ask me. All the best.
-
-
-
I have an instant like of your blog. Add as friend and I join your neighbor. Your blog is refreshing. Very kool layout with good color. But I personally like the dark grey background and a touch darker would go well into your sidebar. Will fav your blog in technorati next if I find the icon. I have so much to learn from your refreshing blog layout.

Well I have about $9 in the month of july when I started this blog
www.journeytowealthcreation.blogspot.com/ -
ladyinfluence, i just add you to friends and play a visit to spaceofinfluence.blogspot.com and you have some kool contents that I wish I have and your content is high-pay keywords as you have noted in your articles. But if you don't mind a critque, I think you can do better in the layout. For one, I see a lot of spacing that stretch the articles tall and I don't know if you do that intentionally. All in all, your blog is highly geared for monetizing topic and I am sure I will be chasing far behind you for AdSense payment. Just fav in technorati. All the best.
-
-
Yes, I do. You have a very unique blog with targeted content related to fishing. I am amateur but long time ago when I was single, my buddies went fishing with me in night time in pitch dark. It was one of the most memorable time in my life. Remind me if you don't see my fav in technorati, i can't find your fav icon, please reply back with that fav. link of yours.

hinioman, in response to u asking how i made that much with a few articles.
This is many blogs later lol. This is just a new blog. I may not make 1.00 in 6 months. I gave up on it and now trying it again. My personal Blog made 3 cents in a month. $25 Bucks a year is not something i like talking about. -
-
lol hinioman... I just want to make enough to buy a few things. Nothing majior, pay for internet service, books, camera. things like this. I wish I could make enough to save up a nice nest egg for my kid. that would be nice.
I have to learn how to write about some things I feel passionate about and then go from there. There are teenagers out there making 1k a month talking about neopets!-
Why not write about neopets?
No, really: Maybe not neopets, but something else that is both relatively popular, and is something you can feel passionate about.
I'd *love* to maintain a blog about the metalicity of main-sequence stars and its implications for the formation of planetary systems: but who, aside from a few eggheads, would read it?
Wide interest base + passion about subject = reasonable chance for success? -
It is important to write things that you are passionate about. Forget about the $100 or the $0.02 cents you can make!!! You could have saved the $100 in not dinning out for a week or two. Passion, learning, people and love is what drive me to writing and photography. Anything related to money and fame only comes as a secondary reward.

Keep on blogging, the second check will take less time, and the one after even less... and one day, you will start receiving checks every month..
It took me 5 months to get my 1st one.. then 3 months later, I got another one. From this point, I started receive check every months.. that was in july 2006. -
Congrats! keep on.

Yarinh, your blog has good contents. I hope you don't mind me to be too critical. I think you can do way better than your current template can offer. I find the information not well presented in an organized and chronological way. If I visit your blog and look for your articles. I find distraction from the layout. I suggest you to visit this blog for reference www.moolanomy.com/ . It belongs to Pinyo in my friends' list. You should team up in his neighborhood.
I really like Pinyo's blog for the organization, rich content, well presented materials to its audience. That is really key to engage and retain loyal base of your users. Given Blog A and B with the same content, I always come back to a blog with good layout and easy navigation.
-
-
-
Thank you Pinyo. Your blog is one of the many interesting blogs that I visit for the last 2 days since I notice you. And I gave you a 10 rating in review. No need for further comments here. Everyone is encouraged to visit Pinyo on his million goal setting finance planning by 2017.
And please join this campaign to pick 3 bloggers (finance related) that is worthy to promote in your blogs and I will have backlinks to you in no time.

You are not required to fav back but I am requesting to help me for my next seemingly impossible goal to reach $2000.
techtheman.blogspot.com/2007/07/man-2-man-about-adsense.html
Yeah, my son asked when I would make it to $2000 and I have not setup the timeline but I am working out the details. Having AdSense only will be a BIG mistake. I will go diversify with other channels. Comments and Suggestion are very welcome. I have signed up for PayPerPost and will sign up AdBrite and both referrals come from my lucky members and friends in this thread -- steve on PayPerPost & lheeanne (likely tomorrow when I find the time). -
-
Thank you for dropping by. Taking one step at a time. Before you know it, the number of 0's will grow on your income stream. Please ask honest opinions from others on your blog. You have a format that I rather not comment here. I will drop by your blog and leave comments later on. Remind me if you don't hear from me.

Your two blogs will be next on my "AdSense $100 Movement" but I see no participation from anyone. Very disappointing. Nobody cares, I think. What an idiot I am!
-
-
I signed up with the same idea. And I am already up 9 dollars..oops sorry, make that 9 cents. :). And I am sure I am going to easily make the 100 dollar mark in the next 90 odd years. What I am not so sure of is whether I will be alive to see the cheque!
-
Your comment is funny. Fav your blog, please fav back if it is not too much to ask. All others that I fav never fav back. I am a classic blogger idiot

Some google love sent your way. For link ads units, I find that click is not counted with revenue until the 2nd click on sponsored search goes through from the user. Some ads interest me and I explore it in your site. I am a bit too tired today and hence no review and I can't read your lenghtly articles -- I am damn tired in running the campaign with NOOOOO participation.
-
-
Seems like I have made up more faster bro
Anyway, congratulation. It's really hard to make US$ 100 in a month, at least you need 2 month (you need to work hard) -> Prepare to get horrible words from your boss if you are blogging from your office :LOL: -> Gratefully, I'm not fired! -
I just started a News Parody site and I have gotten $.65 so far. I thought I would make more money than that in the first month, but such is life. I would have to say that it has picked up some recently. I guess it is because I am getting more people checking it out. Let me know what you think of my site.

I can't do thorough review until weekend. Friends, be patient with me. In the meantime, I am asking those friends that I have faved before to fav me if they find it appropriate:
Hin's Photo Blog
technorati.com/faves?add=http://hintheman.blogspot.com
Hin's Tech Blog
technorati.com/faves?add=http://techtheman.blogspot.com
Only fav if you find my blogs of interest to you. No obligation. Friend don't need a fav but a fav puts more merits to friendship in action.
And now comes the BIG idea I have for those great souls working towards the $100 paycheck from AdSense. I AM going to start a movement for all people to offer backlinks in post, banner, blogroll to 3 candidates of their choice to help out on backlink. For instance, I pick 3 people for me to either blog about and offer links to their blogs and the next great soul come in and do the same to the next three. And we can keep the karma (whatever you call that) or favor. Detail will follow in the weekend when I have a clear vision what to propose to help friends not yet making to the $100 mark. Increase backlinks will increase your authority in Technorati and it is a favorable measure to search engine in calculating the pagerank of your page.
Stay on for the idea and jump in on this thread for your request for help with backlinks. And to those who made it past $100, your support is very much needed and in helping others, they will offer backlinks to you.
Good night for now.-
I can't sleep tonight, and I keep thinking of "AdSense $100 Movement" and my blog post officially starts this movement on 8/3/2007. I hope others can jump in.
"AdSense $100 Movement"

Steve, thanks for the comment. And I am starting my 2nd post to join the "AdSense $100 Movement" in my photo blog
2nd post to movement
hintheman.blogspot.com/2007/08/adsense-100-movement.html
and I will wait for the first poster who post for this movement and who has made it over $100 mark and who has contributed a post with links to at least two bloggers slaving for that $100 mark. And to all those bloggers who read this discussion, please drop us a comment telling us how miserable you are slaving for that $100 mark and you will be picked subject to support of others who support to this movement.
So far, I am the only participant. But BlogCabins, DaisyTheCurlyCat and Gerri50 should have 'technorati authority' raised by 1 this morning because of the backlink that I add in my 1st post. And hopefully, they all participate in this event -- I reserve my option to remove them in my post to add the next 3 I have in mind. And when I remove their links, they will lose the 1 authority from my blog reactions in Technorati.
1st post to the movement
techtheman.blogspot.com/2007/08/adsense-100-movement.html -
Steve, I am sorry to hear the 20cent payperpost referral fee. Man, life is tough here. And GeekIsSexy kind of lol on the $1 he earns from my eweek signup which I spend a good few minutes to put in all registration information from how much my company make and how I get to influence the IT decision. Will sign up more to help you. Please private message me to clue me in which one pays better to the publishers.

making that first $100 on adsense is always hard, i guess we just got to put in more effort on the contents part in your blog. nothing's gonna come out of it if your blog has no contents, so just post and post, thats about it and blend your adsense into your blog, make questions within the post and let your adsense ads be the answer to solve for your users...hope it is something useful that i am sharing...thanks!

You are absolutely right, content is one of the 4 pillars of importance that I learn from problogger.net. But having contents + higher page rank is key. With just the best contents and the best layout in the world would get you the loyal platy of 50 or perhaps 200 users and you won't go anywhere in making a substantial clicks/revenue from low traffic. I would put contents as 1st and promotion the 2nd step which involves jacking up the pagerank. And backlinks are the important quantity by which search engine measure on. And starting this movement is a way to increase backlinks for the participants. It is really a meme type of promotion in a lesser scale but just as effective for small volume bloggers like me and perhaps others on this thread. You can look at the content that I have created for users of Picasa, loyal customers of fuji f30, pentax k100d, and casio ex-z750 in both of my blogs. My average number of unique users have exceeded 225 this week and it is growing. But that does not get me anywhere in terms of higher CTR (click through rate). We need traffic from search engine to bring mass audience to see the contents. Without the search engine, your best content is only exposed to that 200 loyal users on a daily basis. Thanks for the great comment. I am with you on your point but I want to emphasize the importance of traffic from search engine and backlinks is one measure to improve. Please reply back if you don't see it that way.

Yeah, congratz on your first $100 with adsense. The $100 seem very little but hard to reach when you don't have a community. That's why I joined BlogCatalog! Good luck on your $2000 goal. Not impossible at all, the harder was the first $100, trust me.

Kiwi is my instant Fav, just fav in technorati. Love the nzvacation package from air new zealand and the Amazon book that I like on photographer's eye but I did not order the book. I will order a book from your amazon affiliate program later on. Very nice blog but I am too tired for review today. I have ZERO participation in the AdSense $100 Movement.
-
-
I've made a little more than ten dollars in a about a week or so. My blog that's listed here isn't anything important, just me and what goes on in my life. I have another blog that's linked there, and this weekend I'll be working on another one with another purpose. Nope, not gonna get rich from adsense, but that hundred dollars will eventually help out..lol
-
If you made $10 in a week, I would not change anything. I play a visit and I think your daily life is interesting with insights and that is what interest audience perhaps, just my guess. Your short and writing style is something I can learn from. I will revisit, add as friend and neighbor, and find fav icon for technorati
If you ask me for a improvement, I would blend in your top banner bar with the beige color in your background. But for your $10 a week, I won't change anything, I will keep on blogging

i did already my 100$ with ads. i do aroud 80 per month. you should try to make a bit more with the affiliate program

Congrats! I am a long way away. But traffic has been picking up a little lately and ad revenue with it... I decided to start another blog that I have been working on off and on over the last 4 yrs, this time with a more permanent home. I dunno, we'll see what happens. Not too worried. I still feel like I'm selling out by putting ads on my blog. I took some off.

Shimniok, if you like more backlinks to you, you can join the efforts in "AdSense $100 movement" in which you pick 3 blog you like to blog about and your blog will be included in the participant list. Please pick on 2 unfortunate ones slaving for the $100 mark and perhaps one like me who has made the mark hintheman.blogspot.com/2007/08/adsense-100-movement.html
All the best to you.

-
In the beginning I never thought I'd make more than $5 a month, but things changed and now the $100 a month mark is no problem
I wish you more success in the future!
-
I've earned my fist 100 with adsense in 3 months. That's like daily blogging. The money isn't really the best part... it's proving that you can earn from your blog and the sense of achievement.
Congratulations..-
Totally agreed on the achievement part. Thank you for the comment and visit. Hope all who made over $100 consider the "AdSense $100 Movement" of backlinking with bloggers as in techtheman.blogspot.com/2007/08/adsense-100-movement.html All the best to you and your bloggingmix, I have learned quite a few things from your blog. Please keep up the good work.

John Cow visited both of my blogs about 2 hours ago checking out my "AdSense $100 Movement" post and I hope this materialize to things. And I comment on his blog to invite him over. Please help me stumble/digg/deli/fav and participate in
hintheman.blogspot.com/2007/08/adsense-100-movement.html
techtheman.blogspot.com/2007/08/adsense-100-movement.html
I will update if John Cow blogs about or actually joins this program. If he does, this will be at least a 100+ participant list. -
-
I just read your blog Hin, I hope you make it to $2,000.00 If you do, please let me know how. I don't think I'm going to get past the $11.00 I have now. It's been days since anyone has clicked.
-
Thank you! Making money just from AdSense requires a substantial traffic in terms of number of impressions you get in a day and the my click through rate remains quite consistent over my course from 0 to $100 mark. First thing is to gather reviews from people on your blog and try to stay focused to put in contents and work on increasing traffics from directory submission, forum posting, social bookmarking and all the norms that people talk about. All the best.

i have been getting Minimum 3-5 clicks .... and sometimes 10-30 daily

And I have included MySimpleOnlineBusiness into the partipant list as he promotes the movement in his blog
www.mysimpleonlinebusiness.com/blog/
I still have one slot to blog about, if you participate this movement, you will be the 3rd blogger to be announced. -

I wish you continued success in reaching your goal. -
My two blogs just hit 1,341 page impressions on Monday breaking its all time record in terms of page impressions and clicks. Thanks to all for the support. On with next challenge in adding the right affiliate programs. Hope you join me for the "AdSense $100 Movement"

hintheman.blogspot.com/2007/08/adsense-100-movement.html
by blogging about your favored bloggers with 1 over and 2 under the $100 mark, or change to your liking in supporting the movement. The idea is to help everyone reach that $100 mark so as not to let AdSense program keeps the change. -
Wow!! congrats on the milestone!! It's still a long journey for me - as of now accumulated around under $5
