Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted May 20, 201014 yr I understand AdSense is one of the more common ad programs out there that many people here are using for a trickle of revenue. Could anyone here, who is using AdSense, possible share what their traffic levels and adsense revenue numbers are (a PM is fine if you don't want it public - discretion assured)? We are looking at such an endeavour ourselves and were curious what the realistic numbers were. Anyone?
May 21, 201014 yr It was a main way of income for me and generated quite a lot, until the USA economy took a tumble. Ever since then its gone a lot for me. Barely generating enough for server costs.
May 25, 201014 yr Yuck, Adsense maybe was good, but nowadays is totally useless. 10 clicks 5 cents... In near future I kick out whole Adsense, I'm not a charity.
May 25, 201014 yr Author I just removed Adsense from my site for just that reason. Did you replace it with anything? OpenX?

May 25, 201014 yr I just removed Adsense from my site for just that reason. Same. In 7 days I get only avg 1$ with 12K page impressions..
May 26, 201014 yr FYI, Google's paying you 68% of what they charged the advertiser ;) Having said that, it's still a pretty good program. I try to provide balance between direct advertising and google. Direct ads are much more variable in my world.
May 26, 201014 yr Did you replace it with anything? OpenX? The last few months I've been partnering with a company that delivers a service that interests my forum visitors.
May 26, 201014 yr I had it, removed it... I customized ad content and it kept showing things that were not appropriate for the audience (e.g lavalife..) of my site.. I got way to many complaints
