Adsense Progress and Frustrations

I am somewhat frustrated right now when it comes to adsense. But before I explain, let me quickly relate my earnings progress for the last week. Essentially for the last week I averaged $1 per day. This is pretty much in line with my average for the month so far, so I can't really say I've made progress. In fact, things look like they might be slowing down, and this is where my frustration comes in.

I am trying to grow my adsense income. Currently averaging $1 per day (which I must say is far better than where I was just a couple months ago), but hoping to soon reach $5 a day, then $10, and even $100 per day. Basically my niche site has been the more consistent money earner. For the page that I've made the most money from on that site, it was making money even when it showed up on page 3 of the search results. Then it went close to the top of page 2 and I thought it wouldn't be long before I reach page 1 where I should start to see some real growth in income. But for some reason, google decided to move my page near the bottom of page 5 in the search results. That's page 5! I get zero traffic from being on page 5. So for the last couple days, my earnings have been very poor.

I am looking to recover and surpass my average $1 per day. I hope to get my pages ranking much better soon, which I will try to achieve by getting more backlinks to them. Also, I plan to create some new content on both my sites, which hopefully should rank high soon after publishing.

So it's a lot of work to do for this week. I want to soon create a plan including a timeline to get to $100 a day. I'll talk more about that when I've gathered my thoughts sufficiently.

Adsense Progress over the last couple weeks

Once again I've neglected to update this blog on a timely basis. Well let me get straight to the point.

I am just about averaging $1 a day on adsense. Looking at my earnings for the last 2 weeks, I see I am almost at $14. Now some days I make a lot less than $1, but other days compensate, averaging out things to what I said.

I have not had another day like that one I reported on the last time, where I made almost $10 in one day. But I will get there again, and produce such results more consistently. I have done more keyword research and I have found some candidates that will likely increase my revenue. I have also put some effort into building backlinks to my sites. I even added some content to the sites.

For this week coming I plan to add content based on the keyword research I did. I will also continue to add backlinks. I found a source of backlinks, and a new strategy too, which I think will give me the boost I need to move up in the SERPs. I've already seen some improvement with one of my pages I have been focusing on.

Hopefully the results of carrying through with my plan will take me to $2 per day or beyond. I will report back with results once they are in, and also to let you know how well I am following the plan.

An Amazing Week For Adsense

Again I am late with my weekly report. I need to improve on that. I should probably post here more frequently too, for the benefit of readers and myself too, as it would help keep me focused and dedicated.

Anyway, the great news is that for last week, I made almost $14! Remember this is coming from $0.80 the previous week. So quite thrilling really. However, this seems to be somewhat of a fluke, as I actually made almost $10 in one day. I don't expect to get that again for a while. But I hope to get there sooner than later.

Perhaps I should also clarify that I made this money using two sites. My niche site was outperformed by the other.

Now as the end of the week coincided with the end of the month, I will also sum up what I got for the month of October. My adsense earnings for the month was somewhere between $17 and $18. But bear in mind that I had only started placing adsense ads on my niche site after more than a week into the month.

For this week I am trying to build some links to my sites. I am also looking for subjects to write about. I have started doing some keyword research, and will continue to do so.
