Ask HN: How much do you make from Google AdSense per day?
I'll go first - $125 averaged over past 30 days. Also, would be helpful to know if you're concerned about ad blocking.
- msurocks 10y agohow do you make 125 dollars per day? I am interested to know
- threesixandnine 10y agoWith a lot of traffic. To make that kind of money you need to get at least 500 000 unique visitors per month and probably more. It depends on the niche and ads positioning as well.
- taAdSense 10y agoOptimized ads are key & traffic was roughly half.
- avail 10y agoPer day I get around 0.25€, on a forum with ~500 members
- taAdSense 10y agoMaybe you might have more success with affiliate marketing.
- faet 10y ago~25$/day. I have 10 wordpress websites on various niche topics that get a range of traffic. I'm not worried about ad blocking. Most of my sites are on topics for non-technical people who generally don't run them.
- nicholas73 10y ago0.01 per day, with a lucky hit of a buck or two now that then. Usually ad-blocked under 1%, unless a blocker repeatedly clicked around my site.
- taAdSense 10y agoHow are you tracking how many of your visitors using an ad blocker?
- nicholas73 10y agoI don't know if this is correct, but I just look at my AdSense stats for pageviews vs ad impressions.
- Guest98123 10y agoOP, we're close, I'm averaging 130 USD/day for 2016. It jumps all over though, and I might see 200 USD days, and 90 USD days, even though traffic and clicks remain level. It's from a single site. About 60% of my users run ad block (young, male, tech audience, mostly on desktop). Ad revenues drop year after year. I think it's a dying business in its current form. I think an API should be available for advertising. The API would provide the name of the advertisement, the description, colour scheme, image, and more. Then, developers can use that information to work the advertisement into their site in an attractive and seamless manner. http://i.imgur.com/9ecRa5o.png http://i.imgur.com/9ecRa5o.png An example is above. Instead of having a leaderboard advertisement for Chrome, HN could get the advertisement details, and insert it into the site to resemble a post. Every site could then style the advertisement their own way. I think it's less annoying to users, fast to load, users are more likely to read and click it in comparison to a banner they're blind towards, advertisers would get more for their money, and publishers don't need to destroy their site with gaudy flashing boxes that everyone ignores. It's a win-win-win situation, and my vision for the future of advertising. Personally, I'm looking to drop AdSense in the near future and try alternative revenue streams. I worked hard to develop my community. I don't like pushing some ugly, irrelevant, tracking filled ads on my users, in exchange for a few cents on every thousand impressions. It's a business that needs fixing, because advertisers are getting ripped off, users are bending over or forced to install ad blockers, and publishers need to keep pushing more and more advertisements to make the same revenue they earned last year. I'm surprised Google hasn't been more innovative in this space considering it's their bread and butter.
- vsakos 10y agoThe "API for advertising" you described is called native advertisement and is already a thing out there :)
- taAdSense 10y agoI definitely agree that revenue ad is on the decline. 3 years ago it was fairly common to average $300 days - now it's roughly half. The current plan is to upgrade to DFP within the next few months and maybe try to sell direct ads to companies related to our niche which is extremely popular. How did you find out how many of your visitors are blocking ads?
- someotheridiot 10y agoAbout $10-$20/day on 1.5M pageviews/month. My cpm/ctr sucks.
- taAdSense 10y agoI'd recommend optimizing your ad placements and types.
- fratlas 10y agoAbout $3 a day, with only 700 views a day. I'm happy with that ratio.
- bbcbasic 10y ago$0.25 for a simple childrens app
