seowizard,

Congrates on your Adsense income. May we know your website(s) that you have Adsense in it if you don't mind telling.

I assumed you can have that kind of growth if you have a frequently updated website such as a blog.

Anyway, if you search this forum you'll find there are quite a number of people doing quite well with Adsense.

hi Kevin,

often sites built for adsense are not revealed by creator for simple reason.

1. good niche are very difficult to find.
2. its a niche. if its out in the wild, its no longer niche.



it takes extremely a lot of reading, testing, patience, to work your way up to adsense.

there are white and black method ... i used both... some may not be within the ethical ground but thats the way world works

hmm, looks like your earning skyrocketed at the same time my earning dropped. I use to get up to $3500 USD per month but now my earning is just half of that. Lucky that I still have chitika and fastclick as a backup so my online earning still more than $4000 USD. Perhaps your site is one of a few site that doing well after smart pricing. My site affected real hard and from what I see now, its really hard to see I will get back my high earning back. Eagerly waiting for YPN now..

thats great Alang

were you affected by the auditing at chitika?

anyway i am going to try out few other click programs as as well soon...

now is just building the foundation hehe...

the smartpricing might get lifted from your site after a few months if you are lucky

Hi Seowizard,

With that kind of income i think you stand as the God in Adsense for Malaysia, or probably the next Joel Comm of Malaysia..hehe

Anyway, I've got a question which I hope you could shed some light on.

There's this tactic where the owner would advertise a high traffic keyword but low in cost in Adwords. Then he'll lead the surfers into just a page of keyword rich article. The only links you could find in that one page are just his adsense links. So I presume this will literally force the surfer to click on his adsense, therefore may skyrocket his income potential. So will this nullify our adsense account if we employ such tactic?

second question is, will your adsense account suspended if you place your ads into sites which are regarded as "black hat" by Google?

Lastly, can Kontera be used alongside Adsense?

Thanks!

Yea I understand If I were doing a niche (which I was planning..), I wouldn't reveal my site too.

But sometimes a creator don't mind revealing such site if it means attracting more publicity and customers though.

As an example, this site http://www.askthebuilder.com/ is making US30,000 monthly from Adsense alone.

Check out the layout, how the Adsense position is optimized. One of my sites which was started one week ago is going to make US100 per month after following Tim's layout.

I don't make as much as some people here in Adsense since I got too many things to concentrate on and not enough time to work on my Adsense project as much as I'd like. But I used to make about $2000 monthly using no illegal tricks. The site ranked well using a pure and valid search engines techniques.

Well just be careful when using black hat methods, if Google finds out, you could lose everything in a single night..

nothing close to many other msians here. alang is doing 4k per month he's in much better position to run for God of Adsense than I do..

gateway pages is against TOS of adsense because there's simply not enough content to justify the existance of that page along with adsense.

yes of course if google feels that your site falls under the blacks then you might get banned for it.. or less penalty is site ban.. or even less penalty is subdomain ban (if you use subdomains)..

Their DynamiContext is contextual.. thus its not allowed to go along with Adsense.. forced context like citika is allowed.

if in doubt, email the adsense team.. they will be more than happy to check for you

same here... but i've taken the step to quit most of my other things and now focusing purely in seo and site revenue related stuff.. to me its either being really good in it or nothing at all i run a web development company and got tired of dealing with clients and projects already.. its good money... 5 figure income and so on... but i think seo is way more interesting

at the end of the day.. i think everyone do wish they could get there with white techniques .. but again it depends on what you want and how you intend to achieve it ... i used white, grey and black techniques for different projects cause they have different purposes but to achieve 2k monthly though white techniques is very very good.. but white, grey and black is all in the grey area in my opinion...

example, you put 4 images above your adsense, no doubt its ok with google, but do you call that ethical? white? whats the purpose of the image up there... if that webmaster is truely a whitehat seo, then just put the ads without any frills to pull attention into clicking the ads thinking that tthey will get to view a bigger image ...

yup... blackhats are ready to get their site ban as fast as 30 days... so you got to have that kind of mentality .. else you will be crying every 30 days.. haha

i wish to run a more specific site related to seo and income... if anyone wish to be part of this project.. do let me know.. i still have a very vague idea in my mind.. but i will need people, experts and community

cheers!

Guys, I just wonder your website is suitable for all visitors from every country, or just Malaysian? I am actually running a malaysia stock market blog and most of the visitors are Malaysian. I wonder whether I can make money like you all?

@seowizard - my chitika revenue affected by 50% after audit. I just manage to get $1k ++ USD net from chitika after audit. Thats for October actually, before they introduce the new ad format where only advertiser link are clickable. For November, my unaudited chitika earning is less than $USD 1k. The only reliable source of income for the time being is fastclick, because it pay per impression so its really base on your traffic, not other factor.

I can't call myself God of adsense or malaysian adsense guru actually because my revenue is going down and right now I'm running out of idea on how to get it back. Other than smart pricing, more than 50% of my visitors using firefox with adblock. So my advice is don't rely on one source of income, you'll never know what will happen in the future. If you ask me on August whether I'm expecting this, definitely I'm not expecting it at all. If not, I won't quit my job to work fulltime on the website

I wish i can be like you guys...

well.. usually US, europe traffics are more valuable tha asian traffics...

alang... great to hear you are doing fulltime at least i m not alone.. haha....
what were you doing previously?

my former job is not related at all with internet or web developing. I'm a former internal auditor. But I'm really sick of my job, long hour work, zionis boss and ridiculous salary.

As for the google smart pricing, I don't think it will be lifted if conversion rate from the your site is very low. Unless you create a new site that targeting potential buyer, then nothing much you can do about it. Most of visitors to my site is kid and teenager so what I can I expert from them. Plus, I create the site without thinking about money, just as a hobby. Since that smart pricing is affected entire account, if you have 5 sites, you need at least 2 sites that have good conversion rate. If not your click value is really low. When I start new site a month ago to overcome smartpricing, I'd notice that it still to give affect to my account but not much because the rest of my site still have low conversion rate.

Well my other things are Internet related too actually. I've been doing full time since 1997 (Well still a part-timer until 1999 after I graduated). Currently I develop my own software product, run my own affiliate program besides promoting many other affiliate programs.

And Adsense is just one of those that I am affiliated with. My main income comes from selling my own products so I love doing that and love the side income from Adsense too.

Well, let Google be the judge , if in doubt we can always ask Google right? I usually learn from websites that are recommended by Google itself.

The websites that I've created usually did not have Adsense as the main source of income in mind. I did it because I love what I do. I only put Adsense later until the websites have its own source of income. Whatever happen to Adsense, it'll always be my secondary source of income.

But now I am also doing something like what most people do, create some websites with the purpose of generating money solely using Adsense. Well just trying to diversify my revenue stream...

Oh there's a thread I started here related to this matter:

How many hours you spend your time working?

Wahsai,
are u guys for real?
I have AdSense on my 3 websites plus 3 blogs for half a year already. Total income=USD 0.90!
