I am sure most of you guys have seen by now that guy who recieved his $1M cheque from adsense, I read that he owns a dating website, but I still can't believe it, can someone earn that much from adsense alone? any idea which site is his?

I think Weblogs Inc. makes about a million a year from AdSense.

I don't know about $1 million, but I know that Shoemoney interviewed him recently and he claims to bring in over $10,000 a day. Though, that guy claims to claim a lot of seemingly bogus things. Not sure if I can believe him or not. If he does, kudos to him and his ever growing fortune, especially since he says he's a one man show!

It was in Canadian Dollars and split across 2 months, so whilst it was a $1million cheque it wasn't $1million USD in a month.

Can't see why it isn't possibly though, although I'd question the intelligence on bringing in that much from a single source.

It was the guy who owns Plenty Of Fish.

The cheque:



The money he got was $901k (Canadian), roughly $796k (USD) and £427k.

I think I read somewhere that the cheque actually bounced because Google never had the money available in the account.

Wouldn't mind making that a year, let alone every two months.

I wouldn't question the intelligence. If you can do that for 4-5 months in a row, then you're pretty much set for life if you invest well and live off the interest. Even if the whole Adsense thing comes crashing down around him at this point, I'd say he's fairly well off

Now, if you're running a bunch of smaller sites, then you wouldn't want to do that. In his case, I think it's an exception.

he's earning this from Plentyoffish.com? That's only PR 5 and only one banner ad at the top? .. not all pages contian ads...
hard to believe imho.. if it is truely so, he could make even more by visiting this forum and learn some optimization things for his adsense :P

Im curious for his visitor numbers...

SEO Portal, PR doesn't have much to do with how he earns his money..

I don't see why a lot of people judge a website by its PR.

because it says something (not everything) about how popular his site is.. cause it's an indication on how he will be doing in the serps compared to other dating sites etc. etc.

Well established sites with huge visitor numbers usually have PR 6 or higher..

You have much to learn about SEO, SEO Portal. You don't need to have a large PR to have a well established site.

His alexa rank is 679, which is a better indicator but still not a good one.

Have a read of this one, then have a read of his blog, rather interesting read

I know that.. but it is weird. you have to admit..
if you'd make a list of the top 1000 in Alexa, I bet you'll see a lot of PR 6+ sites in there

And is blog is PR 8? weird...
