What may also interest you is that I earned around 50 cents in advertisements during this increase of traffic. I can't legally tell you the other statistics because of the AdSense TOS.
I had hoped that I could at least sustain the cost of the hosting through ads, but I don't know how I am making pennies on mountains of traffic while everyone else claims they are making $5+ a day.
- ddemchuk 17y agoYour ads might not be well targeted enough/have low CPC rates. Plus, your site seems to be aimed at techies. Most of us don't ever click ads so it's tough to monetize that way. Nice blog though :-)
- codexon 17y agoDo you mean that the only way to earn a reasonable amount (at least enough for hosting) is to target a dumber audience?
- ddemchuk 17y agoI didn't say you're targeting more intelligent people, just more technologically inclined people who are most likely accustomed to Adsense ads and therefore less likely to click on them and provide you income. There are a lot of niches out there that are full of really intelligent people who are less technologically inclined than most of us who would be more likely to give consideration to an Adsense ad than we would..
