Who here gets revenue primarily from Google AdSense?

**Sootah** · 11-04-2004, 01:38 AM

I've got one of a few sites that I'm making up and running, and it is finally generating a tiny amount of revenue. I am curious though what ad network I should push my google defaults to. I dont want to break the google terms so I'm a bit leary of putting just anybody for my defaults. I also loath popups, popunders, and ActiveX. Just something that targets well and won't make Google drop me.

Also, any good tips on getting tons of traffic? Should I buy some advertising, or just wait it out? I get an average of 400 hits per day now after 1 month up.

Thanks in advance. -Sootah

i only wish i had good revenue off google adsense, traffic is no problem for me, but keeping my server up to hold it is

If not AdSense, then who do you get your revenue from?

**incka** · 11-04-2004, 09:20 AM

AzoogleAds.

Shawn Weeks makes most ad revenue from adsense I believe...

I get most of mine from Adsense and a bit now from AWS.

I would work on the design of your site a bit more, perhaps center the site in the window. Also best to stick to one language

Also dark writing on the darkish blue is a bit hard to read.

Hi Sootah, sounds like your new site is off to a good start. If it was my site I would use FastClick for defaults. I would also wait a little while before buying traffic. Good luck.

Most of my moolah comes from Adsense. About 80% of it at the moment. I've been seeing some nice spikes in revnue from it too.

I've been trying azoogleads and so far it's running a bit lower than I would have expected, but I just started with them and I am starting to see them pick up. At the very least they would make fantastic defaults.

yeah my biggest payout is Fastclick. I am hoping once chris gets casalemedia on his site i will make back my auction money and see casale jump up onto my radar for income.

Yes I get most of my revenue from Adsense. However I'm not eligible for Fastclick or Casale yet, so thats probably the only reason! I'm sure they would have better results.

Does it matter what adds are defults?

**Emancipator** · 11-04-2004, 06:13 PM

my google cpm is 0.24

**Sootah** · 11-04-2004, 07:31 PM

Can I use Azoogle with AdSense, or will that piss Google off? I've got a Google leaderboard, but for some reason the tower on the side doesn't get filled on some pages most of the time.

I used to get most of my revenue from TribalFusion. Now most of it comes from Adsense. I'm hoping to diversify my revenue streams in order to reduce my dependence on Google.
