A dollar a day is more than a lot of people make with AdSense. It’s not exactly the biggest earner for most people.

Ive spen the last 45 days busting my finger tips and only made 44 bucks on my first site. I am wondering if it is all worth it. I think it’s me who is taking it in the end. I lay awake at night sometimes listening to my windows welcome at 3am as I implement a idea to enhance my visibility and ctr. I should be making atleast 250 by now. I suck! Don’t bug me I’m busy. And all this aggravation and they wont even let me ask people to click my blanks

Good post. It’s true. Google Adsense’s revenues suck. They are only good for very beginners (who can’t get accepted into, I.E., buysellads) and long time users and popular website owners because google then allows video ads. Right not I have terrible revenues.

I guess you missed the sarcasm in the post.

Thanks for the insight on how Google works, I agree that it is completely true. They banned me from AdSense after I sprinkled my page with “too many irrelevant keywords”. Anyways the dating site sounds like a great way for you to make money. There are a lot of dating sites out there, you think that they could be improved? What about a new facebook, its seeing a tough time right now? Or a new Advertising/Publishers network site? The possibility’s are endless.

Prabosh was there a reason they turned your account off? I know that is sometimes happens to people who haven’t done anything against the TOS, but in most cases when they’ve turned your account off it’s because you did do something wrong.

I’m not saying you did anything wrong since I don’t know, but there are a lot of people who have reached the $100, gotten paid, and gone on to make more money.

But.. Google is THE WORST .. moment you reach 100$ they will disable your account.. So they keep the money advertisers pay and do not pay the publishers. no wonder their advertise revenues are much higher.

Thanks Anthony. I was afraid when I was writing it that people might take me seriously and it turns out at least one person did.

Glad you got the joke. I wonder if everyone did. I had someone link to this post thinking I was actually serious.

I agree with you about the entitlement. Too many seem to think all you’re supposed to do with AdSense is place it on your site and if it doesn’t work you’re supposed to blame Google. It takes work to generate AdSense revenue.

Glad you’re having success with AdSense, though I don’t share your enthusiasm for AdSense Gold. I did come across it and it has far too much of a spammy feel to it for me. I disagree with some of the advice I read and didn’t really need emails from Jonathon on a daily basis trying to get me to buy something new from him every day.
