What kind of money can be made with Google Adsense?

Bob Hett

Hi Guys,

Forgive me for this incredibly vague question, but if I were to set up a website using Traffic Equalizer & Directory Generator, targeting a highly searched keyword, what kind of revenue could I expect to see from Google Adsense?

Now I know there is no way of answering this question accurately due to all the variables involved. But a ballpark figure of the kind of revenue that can be generated from Adsense would be much appreciated.

Thanks alot.

Bob,

If you do it right it can be very profitable. I setup a TE site on a somewhat broad area(not real high per click payout at overture) at the very end of last month, got it indexed at the beginning of this month. Traffic is at about 460 uniques so far this month nothing great. So far this month I made enough to go to the movies and buy a popcorn Wink

I do have 1 other site that combines hand written content, TE, and content from free article sites that is doing quite a bit better that I set up around the same time.

Adsense can be very profitble as you know you need 3 things

1) Traffic
2) A topic people are interested in
3) Get them to notice the ad and click while sticking to googles terms.

It's very realistic to generate $10-$20, or more, per site, per day.

(This should not be regarded as an income claim).

Bob, I have not set too many TE sites up (1) but rather have concentrated on developing content sites.

The problem with TE is that the sites do well initially, but then the gradually wane off in revenue. If you work hard (kinda anti TE actually) you can probably keep the income from dropping. All this assumes you don't do something stupid and get banned of course.

A new test site of mine is earning just on double digit income daily from only 1o or 11 pages this week... so I'm in the process of having 200 pages of good quality content written for this site, as part an initial upgrade, and maturing process.

NOTE: I have edited out what could be seen as income claims, sorry.

Hi Russell,

As I'm sure you can tell I'm new to all of this, so I really do appreciate everyone's help.

How much do you outsource to get all those content pages written?

If you do it yourself, it must take an incredible amount of time to write hundreds of pages.

Bob,

Yeah without outsourcing it becomes a nightmare.

Bob,
I've written almost all my own content so far. The larger site has been a work in progress since about last June, and is loosely based on a passion of mine... dogs. I bred, reared, trained and raced Greyhounds on a large scale for about 16 years up until 3½ years ago, so I have no difficulty writing about dogs and their problems. It's just not a niche that pays real well... though it's an enormous market, with virtually no upper limit on the number of pages you could write on the subject.

For instance, there are several hundred breeds you could base individual sites on, dozens of training methods, hundreds of illnesses and injuries... the list goes on. There are about 30,000 dog related websites in Dmoz alone.

Writing content on a subject you're familiar with is as easy as just sitting down and doing it. I can write a good quality, informative, optimized 300 word article on almost anything to do with dogs in about an hour. To do the same thing on a subject I'm not familiar with will take me up to 5 hours or so, due to the research and familiarization needed.

Outsourcing has now become essential for me, because I've learned the basics, can get pages indexed in days, and the only thing holding me back is my inability to produce hundreds of pages of content in a week or less.

I'm at the point now where I have the knowledge and tools needed to find profitable niches, research the subject for content, target and select hundreds of profitable keywords, and automatically build and upload entire fully optimized websites in days... if I can get the content.

There a many places to get ghost authors on the net... Guru.com and Elance.com are just two of them. Expect to pay $5 to $8 for a 300 word article. Be careful of the quality produced though, and check that it's not been copied from elsewhere.

Hi Bob,

I have sites making anywhere between $30 and $2000 a month, but I know people making almost that in a day.

I don't focus on this strategy much, but it does work and I've tried all sorts of different ways of creating the sites and feeding various types of content to them.

As long as you do your market research, it's easy to make 'some' money with them, the better your research - the more you'll make (providing you take the time to either a) drive traffic to them once their up, or b) make LOTS of sites.

I'm not comfortable relying in something as tenuous as PPC income entirely so I'm not earning as much as I could be, but I've found that virtually all of the tools available to automate this DO work to an extent. With some, they're more effective if you don't modify the output (but they tend to have a shorter life), and with others, modification of their templates is essential for good results.

I'd always suggest you try and do things in a way that you think you're creating value for the visitors and your own business.

I agree with Andy.

The key to making money with generated sites is to make your sites as unique as possible, get rid of as many "fingerprints" as possible, and target the less competitive (but still highly paid) markets.

My sites make between $5 - $30 per day on average. They do seem to have a shelf life, with them having a couple of months of really good income and then dropping down to the above figures. So it is a numbers game.

Add articles, RSS feeds, PD information, nicheology ebooks, amazon feeds, clickbank listings.... whatever fits right for the niche and adds good user content.

Although these sites do help the cash flow, I do not see them as long term and do not rely on them being alive and kicking in a couple of months from the day they are "born". However, if they are that is gravy ...

Kind regards

Richard.

One of my sites is bringing in about 180.00-200.00 per

day now with Adsense. One of the things I
notice was that Saturday and Sundays were always dropping to 120.00 per day. and monday was the stongest

..so what I did was send my newsletters on Saturdays ...andthat brought those figures back up.to a level of the other days
