Great post! Of all the startups/websites that use Google Adsense as their main revenue model (according to Bizak.com their earnings per visitor (EPV) is just $0.06. That's not what they earn per click but rather based on the number of visitors they have. In order to make $1,000/month they need over 16,000 monthly visitors - not an easy feat. Better to monetize with services ($1.67 EPV) and/or subscriptions ($1.02 EPV). Even with these poor earnings 22% of startups/websites rely on Adsense as their main revenue source. 17% services and 8% subscriptions. Source: Bizak.com

@Dawn – I guess most ppl would say that placing them inside posts would get a better CTR, but maybe that’s just my experience. But yeah, 40-50 visitors/day probably isn’t enough to make a good return on AdSense. But if you’re getting that many uniques on your directory, hey – you’re doing something right.

And why do you say you’re green to blogging? Looks like you’re doing just fine to me. (#):)

Yup. Just adsense. I was wondering if placing them inside the posts would get a better click thru rate. It seems laughable right now… I only see 40 – 50 visitors a day so I don’t expect to make money. I run a horoscope directory that see’s 4000 – 5000 daily uniques and I can earn $200 – $300 from that site depending on the time of year.
I’m really green when it comes to blogging!!!!

@Casey – Oh, I knew LAST month that you were going to be leaps and bounds ahead of me as soon as you put up the direct ad sales. Ha ha. Uh-oh, is there now a little competition between you and I? (#);D

Thanks for the plug Bush. I’m surprised I made more money than you! You should definitely pay special attention to my blog this week and learn how to make real money with private/direct ad sales.

@GM – I promote myself as a Flash developer though you’d never know it through this site. (#):) So with that I do a lot of Actionscript,
with my blogs now I do a little PHP, and of course there’s the standard HTML/XHTML/CSS.

Also at work they’re trying to get me doing more so I’m writing something in Silverlight which uses XAML with a JavaScript backend *rolling eyes*. My last project was using .NET/C# stuff.

And I used to do a lot in DirectX in my game programming days.

@Apexad – It seems through PPP the magic numbers are PR 5/6 and AR < 10,000. If you can do that, you can make some NICE change.

@Madhur – Thanks for the encouragement Madhur! I’m feeling pretty good especially being as I haven’t had too much time lately to cultivate this little baby. (#):)
