Just wondering, is all the big earner earn most of their money via adsense?

**Juicify** · 08-21-2006, 03:33 AM

I don't think so. Some probably are, but I guess most makes it from CPA of some kind.

Is I are it?

I'm sure there are many people who earn big, but my guess is the bulk of the big revenue generators are CPA advertisers who advertise either via email marketing, or incentive traffic, or both.

There's also a whole portion who earn big on CPM, but you don't hear much about them since little discussion is required. If you have big traffic and a good site theme, just put some code in place and forget about it.

Adsense and other PPC websites aren't the only methods of earning money online. There is also CPA, CPM, POP-UP, and other methods of earning money from advertisements. CPA pays good, and you can earn alot from offer completions.

If they are smart they earn money from all of them

I'm new in the game, but I am already seeing success (exciting!). For me, right now, I see adsense as a way of buying back advertising. For example, today on my simple review site I've pulled in $12.09 so far through adsense, and have spent $14.93 so far in adwords advertising. I see that as me advertising for just $2.84 so far! So if you are selling products or whatever, adsense is a great way to increase your profit margin.

The dude from digitalpoint forum earning like $15K+ on adsense alone every month and that are like the minimum i guess

**Otherjohn** · 08-23-2006, 04:46 PM

yeh but most are from mulitple sites, not just one. Basicly make a context site, that produces about 20-40 a day in adsense, then duplicate (with a different niche) and do it over and over.
if you have 5 of these sites, you make about 3000 a month, 10 = 6000 etc....

I would the the % of people making solid money on the Internet via Adsense is very low.

For Adsense is just extra icing.

Make most my money from Adsense and Yahoo's Publisher.

**cyang** · 08-24-2006, 12:48 AM

There are some big adsense earner but there are other ways to earn $.

**Next** · 08-24-2006, 12:50 AM

Adsense is good until they remove your account, while I personally choose Yahoo Publisher Network.

**memo** · 08-24-2006, 10:00 AM

There are people who just make money from adsense, I have a friend who does it, he has 200 content sites, he makes about $200-$300 per day from his site, but there are people making much much more just from adsense...

**JDDunn9** · 08-24-2006, 10:27 AM

Not all sites are good for adsense either. Adsense can preform very poorly if you have a lot of pageviews and returning traffic. The ads can also be irrelevent if you put them on pages that are not optimized for keywords.

**gmadden** · 09-14-2006, 01:36 AM

It seems to me that adsense is a good way to earn some passive income. I also like erican80's idea about adsense buying your advertising. I had not looked at it that way.
However, there are many more aggressive ways to earn money on the internet. You should try some of the money-making programs out there. Many scams, but some really legit companies. Always check into the kinds of people that are big producers. Are they recognizable names?

**imported_hammer** · 09-17-2006, 01:48 AM

Wow it looks like you are doing ok heh. I forget now what does the 3 stand for in the trader rating?

**Game Producer** · 09-18-2006, 11:34 AM

Various streams of income: adsense referrals, adsense, YPN, selling services, and so on. I presume most of the guys who are doing website business are somewhere using AdSense, but I'd doubt it to be their biggest income generating source. I definitely don't see my money coming from adsense alone (quite far from it actually), but from multiple streams.

In some sites AdSense can do well - in some sites not.

**MonkeyBiz** · 09-18-2006, 11:57 AM

Adsense and yahoo are the best. The problem with affiliate programs is that they are a tough sell. People generally like to ponder over purchases and you need to have VERY exact targeting for an affilaite program to work. A click ad only requires a single click to get paid.

Don't put all your eggs in 1 basket.
