>> That was a sizable share of the $22,000 an accounting statement shows he made during the presidential campaign from ads for shoes, hair gel and web design that Google had placed on his site.
Is this for real? That article also claims around $1000 per hour earning with these ads. I had google ads on my blog for years and hardly made anything of note in terms of earning. I understand this is different type of site attracting a different audience, but even then I find it hard to believe people would have clicked those ads (let alone bought anything) to earn him that much.
Is this rate of earning common for sites like these?
- vthallam 10y agoI checked the traffic for the mentioned website on Simlarweb and it is around 750,000 in Nov and 650,000 in Oct, so yeah, considering this is all US traffic, if he had put advts in the right places, these earnings are not really difficult to make.
- white-flame 10y ago> He had put in perhaps half an hour a week on the fake news site, he said, for a total of about 20 hours. Taking the numbers literally, that's working over the course of 40 weeks. It doesn't really say how long those revenues lasted for the total of $22k, but given the context I'd assume it's around a year.
