I'm trying to get a realistic sense of how much can be made with adsense part time or full time.  I enjoy writing, so I would probably create my own content.  Does anybody out in yahoo answerland actually make a living at adsense?  Does anyone make a supplemental income?  I would think I'd start part time and move to full time if it worked.  I could probably devote 10-15 hours a week part time.  40-50 once I went full time.  Note that I'm not looking to become a "rich jerk" I just want to have a home based business doing things I like: writing & internet.

Yes, we are having REAL SUCCESS with Adsense. Let's just say we are earning in one month what a research assistant in Washington DC earns in a year. We're definitely not earning pennies from the program :o)\n\nWebmasterWorld has a lot of discussions on Adsense and one of the most active discussions right now is the thread "How I made a Million in 3 Months with Adsense  http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum89/12751.htm . The person who started the thread is Markus Finch, who operates the immensely popular online dating website PlentyofFish.com. PlentyofFish.com's business model is different from the subscription based model used by the big online dating websites. Instead of subscriptions, Markus relies on advertising, specifically Google Adsense to derive income from his website. The lessons he shares are:\n\n1. Understand your traffic and how it could affect your keywords.\n2. Create sites that will bring in repeat traffic.\n3. Have your users create content and lots of it.\n4. Do not enter markets with a lot of competition monitized via adsense.\n5. Keep your site simple.\n6. Learn from various forums and if people are not talking about your market, there is a good chance you will make money.\n\nMarkus' website has an impressive Alexa rank of 1,407. What is more impressive is that the site is only a two-person operation, with Markus getting help from his girlfriend unlike his big competitors run by big corporations (e.g. Viacom owns Match.com).\n\nIt is important that you experiment, but keep in mind that your mileage varies. Some sites fit so well with Adsense and can earn thousands from it (example is my website), while some can earn very little from it -- EVEN with tremendous amount of traffic. Here's a thread I recently answered where the site owner said that her site was even featured in 60 Minutes show and is enjoying an avalanche of traffic - yet she earns only $10 from it http://answers.yahoo.com/question/;_ylt=Ar5WQhJtsb8LJN4NbpDeivgjzKIX?qid=1006032112980 \n\nYou have to remember that your income will depend on several factors: \n\n1. keywords shown on your site\n2. level of advertiser bidding on your site - e.g. keywords "diamond" is worth more than "squirrel games" because more advertisers are willing to spend money on those interested in diamonds\n3. your traffic levels - the more traffic you have, the better\n4. your CTR rate - the higher the better and this depends on your ad placement, your ad colors\n5. responsiveness of audience to ads\n5. smartpricing - the big unknown in Adsense\n\nOne website with the 10,000 uniques a day can earn $50 while another may earn $500. Your mileage varies.\n\nThe only way you can learn about how your site will perform with Adsense is through trying it.\n\nI suggest you read the following articles:\n\nGoogle Adsense: How Small Business Entrepreneurs can Earn from Online Advertising http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol123/adsense.htm \nEarning Revenues from Contextual Advertising http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol139/contextual.htm \n8 Tips for Maximizing Contextual Advertising Revenues http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol146/contextual.htm \nContextual Advertising: Why Are You Earning Only Pennies? http://www.powerhomebiz.com/022006/adsense.htm

Hi!\n\nWell, I presume this will be a website showing you off, vs. a generic download site...\n\nSuccess will all depend on how well you market yourself, how "close" you make your members feel and how fresh you keep your content. \n\nI knew a girl who lived off of her web revenue for a couple of years... she was considerably overweight, but even with that, she was able to get enough monthly memberships to make around 30K / yr with almost NO marketing, web expertise, etc.\n\nHow much to start? Hard to say, but if you start small and build up, you can begin for virtually no money. \n\nDo you know how to do web coding, etc? \n\nI too am considering a concept for a site, but it will take months of planning and more money than you will need, because no one wants to see this guy "nekkid"..  :)\n\nFeel free to contact me with any add'l questions.

You might be amazed at what websites are making money on the web.\n\nMany blogging sites such as:\nhttp://tech.crimsonlight.com\nand another example:\nhttp://moremerchant.com\n\nThese are blogging sites and can make the owners a lot of money.  This is the fastest area of growth on the net with thousands of new blogs each day.\n\nThe ones that offer consistency and great stories or posts are sure to bring a following and then this can translate to a great income.\n\nDo you see the ads on the above sites?  Those ads pay money when and if clicked on by visitors.  Yahoo makes some money and the blogger makes money.  Along with that, the visitor gets relevant ads and thus what they are looking for.\n\nThere are also other ways to make money, but there are many bloggers making over $100,000 a year now.\n\nIt is easy to start a blog and most likely will not cost you a think.  \n\nHave fun and Good luck!

I have used Google Adsense since June 2003, when it was first opened to the public. It is an advertising program that works extremely well with my type of website. In my first month alone, I earned $500, and the following month it grew to $1,200. Now I earn 5-digits a month from Google Adsense\n\nThe first step is to go to Google Adsense and read about the program policies and their help center http://www.google.com/adsense . Google is well known for kicking out publishers caught generating invalid clicks (e.g. clicking on own ads,  buying low quality traffic, asking people to click on the ads, etc) so it is important to read what you can and cannot do with the program\n\nNote though that Adsense is a program that is not for everyone. More than the layout or format of ads, the key to success is choosing a topic that attracts people looking to spend money. The responsiveness of audience to the ads is critical. \n\nA travel website that provides information on travel to Spain will attract visitors looking for ways to arrange their travel and spend money on their vacation to Spain. Your site provides the info, but the ads will provide hotels, travel agencies, tourist destinations, car rentals -- ads that are likely to get the attention of the users of your site. This is a site that will most likely do well with Adsense.  However, if you are a gaming website where the main purpose of the user is to play games on your site, then Adsense will not perform as well.\n\nAs for other ways to earn money from advertising, here are alternatives to Adsense\n\nYahoo! Publishing Network (currently in beta and available to US publishers only) http://publisher.yahoo.com/ \nIntellixt http://vibrantmedia.com/site/web_01a5.htm \nQuigo Adsonar http://www.quigo.com/adsonarexchange.htm \nIndustryBrains http://www.industrybrains.com \nCommission Junction Evolution http://www.cj.com\nKanoodle Brightads http://www.kanoodle.com/about/brightads.html\nClicksor http://www.clicksor.com/affiliate_programs.php \nContextweb http://www.contextweb.com/ \nBidclix http://www.bidclix.com/  \nBidvertiser http://www.bidvertiser.com/  \n\nYou can also join an advertising network. Advertising networks are organizations that aggregate Web sites that offer advertising space, and sell banner ads (and other advertising options) across them. Traffic requirement is often a minimum of 5,000 monthly impressions, although many do not accept sites hosted by free page services. \n\nBurst Media http://www.burstmedia.com\nFastclick (ValueClick). http://www.fastclick.com\nAdvertising.com. http://www.advertising.com\nTribal Fusion http://www.tribalfusion.com \n\nThen consider affiliate programs. Here are places where you can find affiliate programs\n\nCommission Junction http://www.cj.com\nLinkshare http://www.linkshare.com\nClickbank http://www.clickbank.com

Hello,\n\nIf you are looking to make a large amount of money, you are not going to do it working for someone else.  The best way to do that is to work for yourself.  I have been working for myself for the past 2+ years.  I make a great income, and have great time freedom.  I am not pulling your leg I am being honest with you.  \n\nAdd me to your instant messenger or email me at pplamy1@yahoo.com

Why would anyone want to share this information? Just because I ask "So, how can I be rich by getting on the internet without leaving my house?", you think people will jump at the chance to answer this for a lousy 10 points?\n\nI think some of those questions are ridiculous. If they share that info, then the competition for that business will increase and the more people know, the less money they make.\n\nWhy would anyone want to share that kind of information with strangers online?\n\nJust get your own idea if you want to make income online. Do your own research, start your own business, make a really popular website, and get some experience. Noone can tell you what you can do to make extra income since there are people out there who still work for a meager low paying salary. If that answer was so easy, then i wouldnt be at work right now working my butt off.

IGNORE SWEETY\n\nThis is a comment from a website he has linked to -\n\nThis work at home "opportunity" is an utter crock. Naturally the person spamming it doesn't give the details.\n\nYes, you get paid to post. How much? About 1/3rd of a penny per post. That's correct, post 300 messages and you might get as much as a dollar if they are "quality" messages.\n\nYou do the math.\n\nSo why is this goofball recommending it? Because he gets 20% of whatever you make. You slave away for 100 hours to make $10 and he gets $2. He he can talk 1000 people into wasting 100 hours of their life for $10/ea then he makes $2000. How does he con 1000 people into signing up? He spams 100's of messages a day on message boards.\n\nIt's a scam, complete and total scam. There is no actual payment schedule, they tell you they aren't under any obligation to pay you anything and most people never make more than $10 after wasting literally 100 hours or more.\n\nYou would have to be a curry eating lower caste street urchin from Calcutta to consider this to be a business opportunity.

You can write niche content and make some money via Google Adsense or Yahoo Publisher Network. Both are pay per click programs. Check out this case study https://www.google.com/adsense/askthebuilder It's about Askthebuilder.com earning nearly $30,000 a month with Google Adsense.\n\nIf you need more details on ways to work from home, there are some good information and articles from this site. http://earncash.50webs.com

In terms of earning money on Adsense, your mileage varies. One blog with 10,000 uniques a day can earn $50 a month while another may earn $5,000. Or a blog with 5000 pageviews can earn $10 while another can earn $1,000.\n\nIt is not easy to predict how much you will earn from Adsense. The only way you can learn about how your site will perform with Adsense is through trying it.\n\nThe amount you can earn will depend on the \n\n1. Responsiveness of audience to the ads = A travel website that provides information on travel to Spain will attract visitors looking for ways to arrange their travel and spend money on their vacation to Spain. Your site provides the info, but the ads will provide hotels, travel agencies, tourist destinations, car rentals -- ads that are likely to get the attention of the users of your site. This is a site that will most likely do well with Adsense.  However, if you are a gaming website where the main purpose of the user is to play games on your site, then Adsense will not perform as well.\n\n2. Ad format = some types of ads do better than others depending on your content and layout. In our case, large rectangles in the middle of the content is the best, while leaderboards do not generate as much as income. Skys are the worst for us. Experiment and measure the results via channels and see which formats work best for you.\n\n3. Ad placement - check Google's heat map as they have tested where the best placements are https://www.google.com/support/adsense/bin/answer.py?answer=17954&ctx=en:search&query=adsense+heat+map&topic=0&type=f \n\n4. Ad colors - sometimes ads blended into the content works wonders, but sometimes ads that contrast your site colors work best\n\n5. Number of ad units on a page = we are allowed maximum of 3 ads + 1 ad links + 1 search box on a page. Maximize the allowed number based on the resulting look of your page (you don't want an overkill of ads). Users going to your page and reading your content may ignore the banner or rectangle at the top of the page, but may click on the ad at the bottom of the article\n\n6. Smartpricing - the big unknown in Adsense. No one knows how this actually works. But it can affect the pricing of the ads on your site. If the advertiser paid for $0.50/click - but your site is smartpriced - then the cost may be discounted lower (e.g. $0.25). So you may try to develop a site based on high paying keywords but if smartpricing gets to you, then you may not get as much per click as what you are expecting from your keywords.\n\nHere is Google's explanation of smart pricing https://adwords.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=9562&query=smart+pricing&topic=0&type=f\n\nGoogle's smart pricing feature automatically adjusts the cost of a keyword-targeted content click based on its effectiveness compared to a search click. So if our data shows that a click from a content page is less likely to turn into actionable business results -- such as online sales, registrations, phone calls, or newsletter signups -- we reduce the price you pay for that click.\n\nExperiment with the factors above (except smartpricing, which you can't control), and see which combination works best. Remember though that not all sites do well with Adsense - even if you get gazillions of traffic but your visitors are not interested in looking for ways to spend their money, they won't be interested in your ads and won't click.

I can tell you about what I did to make money from home. I have two children and really didn't want to work outside of the home, but having some extra money was something that I wanted. I decided to do some reading.\n\nGracious, are there ever some get rich quick schemes out there. I read about all of them over the course of two months. Nothing I saw really intrigued me until I read about Site Build It.\n\nWhat is that all about?\n\nCreating your own web site. My site is about resume writing. I know a lot about it and I have worked in the field before (for years), so writing about it is almost second nature.\n\nI'll list my web site below and if you want more information, click on the "My Passion" button on my site or click on the "Contact Us" button and ask me any questions you want.\n\nSome people who have their own sites make a whole lot more than I do. I happen to have created a web site in a very competitive field. My next site will be more focused on a tighter niche as those tend to make a lot more money.\n\nAnyway, it has worked for thousands of people and it's now working for me.\n\nI'll include one other link so that you can read about other people's stories. One young lady started building her site when she was a teenager and has completely financed her way through college with just one web site.\n\nMy site won't do that anytime soon, but I like what I have built so far. :)\n\nGood luck with whatever you choose to do.

Hi Paul, here's am excellent article by Marshall Brain, the founder of HowStuffWorks.com. Its titled 'How much money can you make with a web site?' and caters presicely to your question. Here's the link :\n\nhttp://webkew.blogspot.com/2005/04/lesson-3-how-much-money-can-you-make.html\n\nAnd one more thing, don't agree on buck247's answer, if you study his answers, he is advertising for the company, and has submitted around 59 answers with the same content. Beware!

Well there is no specific site that really has all that things above. However, if you would want to make a blog that allows you to put adsense on it, try www.hedir.com \n\nIf you would want to make money by simply blogging, then you need to find sites that look for people to blog. Try searching on Google and type in pay to write or pay to blog. \n\n\nMary\nhttp://onlinepr.gbwatch.com/

I work on-line. My Web site is http://www.writershelper.com. That site sells a service. My next step will be to build two more sites that make passive income, meaning all I'll have to do is put up the site, not offer a service. There are several good ways to make money with sites that offer information people want.  Everyone knows something.\n\nCheck out the site below. Take advantage of the free download e-books. They give you a ton of information.
