How much can you earn through google adsense

Google’s AdSense is a fascinating revenue-sharing opportunity for small, medium and large web sites. Some webmasters are designing brand new sites specifically for serving AdSense text ads. (It’s against the AdSense rules to design a site purely for AdSense, so you’ll want to include a few affiliate Affiliate links or sell your own product, too.)

I read an article about how to increase adsense revenue from associate programs here is the analysis from the article

Let’s say you have a goal of earning $100,000 a year from AdSense. Is that possible? Let’s see … $100,000 divided by 365 = $274 a day. So your goal is to produce either:

  • 274 pages which earn $1 a day or
  • 548 pages which earn 50 cents a day or
  • 1096 pages which earn 25 cents a day

The following are hypothetical cases. To earn $1 a day per page, you need, per page…

  • 400 visitors, 5% click-through rate (CTR CTR) and average 5c payout.
  • Or 200 visitors, 10% CTR and an average 5c payout.
  • Or 100 visitors, 10% CTR, and an average 10c payout.
  • Or 100 visitors, 5% CTR, and an average 20c payout

Let’s assume you choose a goal somewhere around the middle, say aiming for 50 visitors per page and want 274 pages earning $1 a day. You’d need 274 x 50 = 13,700 pageviews a day.

Does that sound too tough? If so, you’d better look for more profitable keywords and ways to improve your click-through rates.

Let’s try a different scenario, You choose more profitable keywords and make your $1 on average per page from, say, 10 visitors. 274 x 10 = 2740 pageviews a day, That’s looking easier to achieve, If your average visitor sees 3 pages, you now need 913 unique visitors a day.

Is that too tough to achieve in your niche? If so, create two sites, each attracting half that number, 456 unique visitors, a day, Can’t achieve those click-through rates and payouts? Then you’ll either need more pages on your sites on more niche sites.

Please note, because of the AdSense rules, these are all hypothetical cases. I’m not allowed to give real cases. Real CTR rates and payouts vary hugely.Choose the goal which best matches your site or sites.

Then start building keyword-rich pages containing well researched, profitable keywords, and get lots of high quality links to your site.

For example, if your site is about topics such as debt consolidation, web hosting or asbestos-related cancer, you’ll earn much more per click than if it’s about free things.

On the other hand, if you concentrate only on top-paying keywords, you’ll face an awful lot of tough competition.

What you want are keywords that are high in demand and low in supply, So do some careful keyword research before you build your pages.

Happy Keyword researching

Adsense Optimization Tips for Webmasters and Publishers

Too many times I heard that publishers complained about not having enough traffic to earn meaningful AdSense revenue. “If only I have more traffic…” was so commonly read on forums that I think I have to do something with it.

It’s true. Traffic is one of the critical equation to success not just in earning a nice check from Google AdSense, but that really is not the only variable in the equation too. Building traffic, especially to attract organic search engine traffic, requires patience and persistence.

If you gradually build compelling content for both visitors and search engines and properly increase link popularity of your pages, after some time the traffic will come. When that will happen varies from one site to another. Some will have a surge of traffic from the second or third month, some may have to wait for years.

Be forewarned that you never do anything against search engines’ best practices. For Google, follow the Google’s Webmaster Guidelines.

But meanwhile, while you are waiting there are a bunch of things you can do other than keep building content. If you can just increase your click-through rate as much as 20% by choosing the right AdSense colors/formats for your article pages, you are insane if you don’t go for it. It is as if 20% of free money with very little effort.

Sounds very simple, everybody has already known that, right? No, in fact we’ve seen so many times webpages which use default AdSense color schemes and formats. Not to say that they’re bad, but they are certainly not the best choice for every situation. Just because Google have it by default doesn’t mean it is the best for every publishers and webmasters.

So here they are, links to the full article series I’ve written over the weeks catering to Google AdSense Optimization Tips for webmasters and publishers.
