Ask HN: How much do you earn from Google Adsense?
So, I'm setting up Google adsense and planning on implementing it on a few websites in order to improve on reoccuring monthly income.
How much do you guys typically earn from websites with Adsense? What's the most you've ever got? Trend: People who claiming $10,000+/mo from Adsense for some reason never share traffic stats or even website URLs. There's a good reason for that. If someone's found a profitable niche, there's no incentive for them to reveal information which might attract competitors. $150-400 a month from my blog [0]. The highest I earned was $2100 in a month, when the traffic was much higher (~2 years ago). $108 YTD, $29.72 best month this year Not much weight without proof: http://imgur.com/YiyEke0 Most of mine has come from a single post about uses for a Raspberry Pi[1]. I've done a lot wrong when trying to build site traffic (multiple domain/url scheme changes, etc) so I think I would be doing much better if I had focused more in the past. These numbers are from my blog, http://foodconstrued.com I have one sidebar ad, and usually one ad at the bottom of each entry. Last month (September) I had 4873 page views and 25 clicks. This resulted in $8.75. My best month was back in July. That month 4016 page views and 25 clicks resulted in $9.49 That's a low CTR for that amount of PV. Try putting a large ad right under the headline and lose all the share buttons there since you've got them in 3 other places, it should incrase your CTR quite a bit. http://i.imgur.com/71d9E4U.png Thanks! I'll give it a try. The highest I earned was $20000/month. Now making $10000 - $15000 each month. It varies significantly month to month. Awesome! Could you please tell us your site and your monthly traffic? Just for referring! Thanks a lot! How much traffic did your site(s) get? Historically, I got a payout once a year of something over $100. This year, I am still way short of hitting a payout. But I would really like more info on traffic, content, etc from the guys reporting serious dough from this. The only site I have Adsense running on does $50-60 a month. That covers the hosting bill. There were a couple of months that the site was doing between $100-120 but that was only for like 3 or 4 months after the launch. I set it up on a website a long time ago, but my traffic was pathetic. Made maybe about $0.10 a month? The website is now long gone by the way, so not making anything currently. Six figures a year, going for seven (long way away) and compete head on with the industry leaders (they do eight figures). Long time bootstrapped/passive. What's your site? I have a site that I started about 6 months ago that gets about 30-50 uniques a day, and Im generating about $15 per month. This month: $57.33 from 8294 page views (228 ad clicks) Last month: $33.14 from 4338 page views (90 clicks) 15,000$-20,0000$
