Google Adsense: Record-High Monthly Income
I had a lot of people asking me for months why I never made a lot with Adsense, and the answer was simple.
I stopped running Adsense ads on my home page for at least a year. This raised more questions as to why I would stop running ads if they were bringing in revenue for the site.
That answer is also simple…
Why I Had Stopped Publishing Google Adsense Ads
At the time, I wanted to test Clickbank hop-ads, where money isn’t made with clicks, but rather through actual sales. I placed these ads exactly where the Adsense ads had been, in hopes that they would produce the same amount of clicks.
The result, over a span of close to a year, was that they did receive clicks, but only one sale ever resulted. Yep, only one sale, ever!
Now, simple logic would tell you that if I could make a few sales a month from those ads, it would justify running the Clickbank ads rather than the Adsense ads. However, that was not the case.
No sales = no income. I would much rather make a few pennies or dollars from clicks than make nothing at all. Anyone who is involved with Adsense knows that with enough clicks per month, a decent amount of income can be made.
With this re-founded realization, along with some urging from readers via my Income Reports, I decided to go back to Google Adsense.
Google Adsense IS Profitable
Some people will tell you that Adsense is a waste of time, while others will say it’s profitable and that they make a full-time living from Adsense alone, usually spanned across many, many sites and niches. Depending on your sites, goals and ambitions, both are correct.
It’s important to do a little research and determine if Google Adsense is right for you. I have been an Adsense publisher for years and know firsthand that it can generate a decent amount of extra income. At the time, it wasn’t quite the income I was looking for, but my site was also young and didn’t see the kind of traffic it gets today.
With increased traffic and targeted ads, I thought maybe Clickbank could provide the boosted income I was looking for. Obviously, I was wrong. It didn’t generate the revenue I was looking for, at least, not in the way I had hoped.
Knowing that Adsense generated income from that same part of real estate on the site, I wanted to see if I could get an increase in revenue.
Reverting back to Adsense ads, replacing the Clickbank ads, I waited a few days to see how they would perform. To my surprise, they generated over $5 the very first day. If you saw last month’s income report, you’ll see I made a total of $81.72 in November from Adsense. That’s more than I ever made in a single month with Adsense during my time online running my online business.
Considering this is income generated from natural traffic coming from search engines and referring websites, that’s $81.72 in pure profit. Obviously, publishing Google Adsense ads does make sense for me.
Will I Continue to Publish Google Adsense Ads?
The simple answer is, yes! I was very optimistic after last month’s performance, and I was excited to see how this month would do. Well, the month is almost over, and as of right now, I have made $120.84. That’s almost $40 more than last month, and there’s still a few more days to go in this month.
That’s encouragement enough for me to continue running Adsense ads on this site, and I can’t wait to see what the new year brings.
Are You an Adsense Publisher?
Being an Adsense publisher just makes sense for me, but as I stated before, it’s certainly not for everyone.
Are you a publisher? Why or why not? If so, what’s the most you ever made in a single month from Adsense?

April turned out to be a pretty good month. I received an increase in 
However, the Valentine’s card I received a couple of weeks ago contained a coupon code that actually worked! I was literally stunned in amazement.
