How often does Google Adsense update earnings?
469457
There is no set time when earnings are updated, but they are fairly good in updating it at least every hour. There are days though when updates are delayed, and if you check forums such as WebmasterWorld (Adsense section) http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum89/ , you'll immediately be alerted when stats are delayed or if there is something wrong with the login or something as the webmasters participating there are quick to point out problems.

The increase is (7-0)/0 which is undefined.  You sold infinitely more units in April than you did in March.

Yahoo has named this test project "Project Panama," where ads placement are now based on price and relevancy of ad. Yahoo is expected to test this in the UK in July.\n\nCurrently, Yahoo places a paid ad solely based on the amount you are willing to pay for the keyword. Google uses both price of the keyword and a "quality score" to rank the ad.\n\n \n \nRBC analyst Jordan Rohan reports that Yahoo! has released a test version of its new search monetization in Scandinavia and will expand the rollout to the U.K. in July.\n\nCodenamed “Project Panama,” Yahoo’s new model will be similar to that of Google (nasdaq: GOOG - news - people ), which ranks search-engine ads by both the amount advertisers pay for keywords and the relevance of the ad. The Google-like algorithm should result in higher click-through rates than its older model that ranked ads only by the amount paid for keywords.

You are forgetting something in your formula = smart pricing. \n\nSmart pricing is the big unknown that can significantly reward or discount your clicks. In the email sent in 2004  by Google when it introduced smart pricing https://adwords.google.com/select/news/sa_mar04.html they explain smart pricing as \n\n"if our data shows that a click is less likely to turn into business results (e.g. online sale, registration, phone call, newsletter sign-up), we may reduce the price you pay for that click ... We take into account many factors such as what keywords or concepts triggered the ad, as well as the type of site on which the ad was served. For example, a click on an ad for digital cameras on a web page about photography tips may be worth less than a click on the same ad appearing next to a review of digital cameras."\n\nSo it is not a straightforward estimate - an advertiser paying $0.10 cents for a click from content network (Adsense publishers) does not give you assurance that you get 70 cents (assuming a 70-30 split with Google and publisher). It could be more, or it could be less depending on how smart pricing looks at your site. Webmasters continue to dissect what it is, how it actually works, how often it is applied -- and WebmasterWorld alone has hundreds of threads on this topic.\n\nThe other factors are something you can control: ad impressions you can work to increase your traffic; CTR with your ad placement and layout. My site, an information site, is a perfect vehicle for Adsense and we get very good results (double digit CTR, and 5-digit monthly income). [Sorry can't reveal much lest I be in violation of Adsense TOS]\n\nBut not all websites fit well with the program, as we wrote in the article "Contextual Advertising: Why Are You Earning Only Pennies?" http://www.powerhomebiz.com/022006/adsense.htm -- but it is how you experiment and play around the variables that you can control that can result to your earnings. Markus Finch's PlentyofFish.com website earned millions because he has gargantuan traffic, even though his CPM and EPC are paltry. Fos us, we continue to experiment with the colors of the Adlinks, how to space the large rectangles, etc.\n\nOne excellent resource I suggest if you want more to understand Adsense is the Jensense blog http://www.jensense.com/ - this is written by the moderator of the Adsense forum at WebmasterWorld (Jenstar). You can learn a lot from reading her blog as she is very knowledgeable of the topic.\n\nPS. Thank you for the invite to answer your question :o)

CoolV (previous answer) is right. Google makes money by its Google ads.\n\nWhen you do a search on sneakers for examples, 8 companies have paid google to be listed on the right.. beside the FREE results for sneakers. \n\nIts good for google (income), and its good for companies because people who are interested in your product are looking at thier link. Its money well spend on thier part.

Google AdSense is the program that can give you advertising revenue from each page on your website—with a minimal investment in time and no additional resources.\n\nAdSense delivers relevant text and image ads that are precisely targeted to your site and your site content. And when you add a Google search box to your site, AdSense delivers relevant text ads that are targeted to the Google search results pages generated by your visitors’ search request.

I suggest using Google's AdSense on a personal website of some sort. While you don't make a LOT of money (unless you've got a high-traffic website), it's probably the safest and most reliable way to make money on the web without getting ripped off.

I make a little profit a month on my sites, given that I dont post ads all over it. Once I made over $600 in one month when I put ads all over my pages because I needed money to switch serves. Google ads rule. If you have enough pages, you can make enough money to live independent without working.

Yes, on most sites, ads are the major source of income.  They are slots sold by the webhost (google in our case) to another company (our example AD)\n\nYou're surfing on Google, hypothetically, and you come accross an annoying AD.  you might click on it on accident, you may ignore it, or you may be intrigued and click on it for more information.  Google is happy any way, because they get money for allowing others to put their information on the Google site.  The company is happy if the first or last happen.  If the first happens they get another "Hit" which shows how many times the site has been visited, increasing rankings/popularity/etc. the third, they get an additional Hit, but they also run the chance of selling something/getting another Hit on a linked site.\n\nSo you see, Ads are needed for a site to run, on both ends.  Its like a helpful parasite, it lives on the Host, but helps it, and the host helps the parasite at the same time

I know exactly what you mean. I see the cashcrate guy has been here already. I wish that guy would go away. Imagine spending your whole day spamming people with survey crap. Dont that guy do anything else? He should learn more about marketing. \n\nEnough with my rant. Yea, you can make money but it is difficult and takes a lot of understanding though. I use Clickbank.com along with google adwords to carve out a good side income. There are a lot of people raking in the bucks as I know a few personally who do over $200,000 per year. It has taken me 3 years to make money and now I do about $3000 per month with adwords and another $1500 per month with google adsense.\n\nI too suggest getting some books to read. You will get nowhere for free. If you think this is a free ride, you are wrong. It will take a good amount of time and an investment. So, the answer is yes but it cost you no matter what anyone else will say. i do it for a living.

Advertising. You sign up for Google Adsense and you get paid when folks click on the advertising links. The company providing the ad pays a few pennies per view. It's not a lot but it can add up if, like myspace or youtube, you get millions of views.\n\nOf course you also have to pay for the server capacity and bandwidth so that cuts into profits. I doubt it's a whole lot after expenses, however you could be purchased for millions or billions if one of the big guys sees it.\n\nThat's when you really make money.

Be careful of where you get your traffic with Adsense. The quality of traffic can impact your adsense, and if you get any of these 10,000 traffic for $20 types of traffic, you can jeopardize your account.\n\nIn terms of earning money on Adsense, your mileage varies. Adsense is more than just traffic numbers. One website with the 10,000 uniques a day can earn $50 a month while another may earn $5,000. It 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 = Users looking to book a travel to Spain comes to your site about tourist destinations in Spain is a site that will do well with Adsense as users are more likely to click on an ad about hotels in Spain. 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\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.\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

As a Singularity enthusiast, I understand where Google is going with this, business models should be focused on 5-10 years in the future…HOWEVER,  are we a little EARLY. There is no EPaper yet. If I look at these mags, I am not going to get the the AdSense magiv ad serving technology. I am probably going to receive look at a 1and1.com advertisement. Not sure Google is owning that attention the same way they do on-line. \n\nhttp://360.yahoo.com/jcbroogley

Yes you can have adsense on yor site. But as above said the content must be approved by Google. And as far as i know "enough traffic" is no requirement at all. Its not in the Google Adsense's TOS. So you need not worry about traffic. And if you have a good content you will get traffic automatically.
