Let's say
you have a goal of earning $100,000 a year from AdSense. Is that
possible?
Let's see ... $100,000 divided by 365 = $274 a day. So your goal
is to produce either:
- 274 pages which earn $1 a day
OR
- 548 pages which earn 50 cents a day
OR
- 1096 pages which earn 25 cents a day
The following are hypothetical cases. To earn $1 a day per page,
you need, per page...
400 visitors, 5% click-through rate (CTR) and average 5c payout.
Or 200 visitors, 10% CTR and an average 5c payout.
Or 100 visitors, 10% CTR, and an average 10c payout.
Or 100 visitors, 5% CTR, and an average 20c payout.
Or 50 visitors, 10% CTR and 20c average payout.
Or 25 visitors, 20% CTR and 20c average payout.
Or 20 visitors, 10% CTR and 50c average payout.
Or 10 visitors, 20% CTR and 50c average payout.
Or 5 visitors, 20% CTR and $1 average payout.
Let's assume you choose a goal somewhere around the middle, say
aiming for 50 visitors per page and want 274 pages earning $1 a
day. You'd need 274 x 50 = 13,700 pageviews a day.
Does that sound too tough? If so, you'd better look for more
profitable keywords and ways to improve your click-through
rates.
Let's try a different scenario. You choose more profitable
keywords and make your $1 on average per page from, say, 10
visitors. 274 x 10 = 2740 pageviews a day.
That's looking easier to achieve. If your average visitor sees 3
pages, you now need 913 unique visitors a day.
Is that too tough to achieve in your niche? If so, create two
sites, each attracting half that number, 456 unique visitors, a
day.
Can't achieve those click-through rates and payouts? Then you'll
either need more pages on your sites on more niche sites.
Some affiliates have a goal of writing one article a day and
building one site a month.
Need a little more help reaching that $100,000 goal? Add
affiliate commissions into the equation. Add a newsletter for
repeat sales.
Choose the goal which best matches your site or sites.
Then start building keyword-rich pages containing well
researched, profitable keywords, and get lots of high quality
links to your site.
Please note, because of the AdSense rules, these are all
hypothetical cases. I'm not allowed to give real cases. Real CTR
rates and payouts vary hugely.
It's fast
Google
usually approves web sites in less than a day.
After your site is approved, within a few hours a special Google
spider will spider your site. Then it's time to paste the code
into your site and the text ads will appear.
You can choose between either horizontal or skyscraper AdSense
ads.
