Realistic Adsense Income?

**JohnGalt** · 05-09-2009 02:52 AM

I am just starting up a couple of websites and planning to try Adsense. If I start out with 5-10 pages of original relevant content on each website and work on promoting them is $1-2/day per site a realistic goal? I know this is tough to answer without know the subject matter of the websites or the layout but just assume average design quality and decent domain names.

How difficult is it to make $1-2 per day with adsense?

Thanks in advance

I would say if you have a couple of sites and you promote them well and they have good content $1-2 per day should be very easy.

adCENTS is just that now. Why would you only want to make $1-2 a day? That's chump change. Your best bet would be to try and get optimized for keywords that have high adsense payouts. Although ever since the economy going to shit, it's hard to make good money on adsense.

$1-2/day is in my opinion very pessimistic. Depending on which topics are discussed on your websites this is indeed an achievable goal in the near future.

Good luck! :-)

If I want to create a minimally successful blog , how should i do it.

$1-2 a day would be a reasonable start for me.

How should I go about it?

Do you have to advertise for this?

Uh, that was a tough one...

General advice: Create unique content that people wanna link to. Comment on other blogs and in that way draw attention to your blog. Give away free stuff to your users. Make it easy for them to submit your content to social networks.

Affiliates are the way forward for example host gator pays $50 per sign up.

Has anyone tried selling leads to local businesses? For example, you have a niche website, a potential customer contacts you through the website for a quote on a service, you forward their inquiry to a local business who then pays you a commission if a purchase is made?

Create quality content and promote about it. A friend has a website with 1500+ unique visitors daily and earn 5-10$.

Dear AaliyahRoma,

A website with 1500+ vistors per day is high traffic.

The monetization sounds low.

Do you mean $5-$10 per day?

dont set a goal for only $1-2...I used to make $10-20 a day from a combination of 3 websites. Just work at it, and work hard. I started making 5-10 a day within my first month of promoting.

Rob what were your blogs on content wise?

Did you advertise them?

What was the daily traffic?

It's hard work. A lot depends on how much people are paying for the AdWords that relate to the AdSense. I think the best way is to get started and experiment with ad positions while doing your best to generate traffic.

A was mentioned in previous posts, content is the most important thing. However, with AdSense you need to attract a reasonable amount of traffic to make it work.

**frdsmth9** · 05-24-2009 11:00 AM

Improve your site's content. Find out which are the highest paying keywords in your niche, write keyword-rich site content and add the keywords to your meta-tags so that the search engines can find your site. You will get more traffic that is interested in what your site has to offer.

Know that if you want to double your ad income, you need to either double your traffic or double your click-thru rate. However, increasing your click-thru rate is usually much easier than increasing your traffic in a short amount of time.

I see some brilliance in JohnGalt's idea.

He is merely wishing to hedge his online strategy. If, over the course of a year or two, he can get several hundred micro-sites up and running and making $1 or $2 per day, he experiences very negligible financial harm if one of them is blacklisted from Google or something similar.
