Increase AdSense Earnings 600 Percent
March is officially over now and April is under way…sorry no April fools joke here. Now getting back to the making money online, March was our most successful month in the terms of AdSense profits. I know that many of you have read too many times that it only takes a minor adjustment to increase Google AdSense by 600% or even more.
Well this was the exact case in with our site. I had been reading and listening to so many others when it came to recommendations as to what AdSense ad is the most profitable and for many they are placing the ad within the post itself. I had been using this method for many months without success and basically I was just under the impression that our site was not receiving enough page impressions to reach higher profits.
Starting in March I decided to make a few changes on our site; I figured out how to ad background color to the side bar section and I changed our AdSense ad size to the (160 x 600 side bar) (300×250 side bar). The results: average 600% increase in daily profits with a round about estimates of CTR 3.25% and eCPM $5.42. The morale of the story here is do not listen to what works best for these “A List” bloggers keep testing your site and then test some more because what’s successful for them will not always be the case for your site.
MARCH 2008 BLOG REVENUE REPORT:
Private Ad Sales: $2050.00
Google AdSense: $2193.54
Affiliate Sales: $124.47
Site Reviews: $525
Text Link Ads: $542.45
Total Revenue: $5435.46
Blog traffic for March was 165,926 page views from 75,421 unique visitors, according to Google Analytics. The operating costs for the month of March came in at exactly $11.03. The breakdown of operating costs: Hosting $3.33, Café Press $6.95, Domain $0.75. The Café Press online store is the biggest monthly expense and it’s not a money maker but I keep it open for when readers feel inclined to purchase some JKD souvenirs.
Many of the regular readers have noticed a drastic decline in the amount of posting that the “GeekTalk” section actually gets updated and I wanted to note on this while I’m at it. In the beginning of March I’ve moved my efforts and time towards Affiliate marketing mostly due in part that the success of the “GeekTalk section is near to none existent, only accounting for 10% of revenue and traffic for JKD and an astonishing 90% comes from celebrity/fashion related searches.
Readers do you want more posting? Then I would like to see an increase in the stats of “GeekTalk” so start linking to the information that you’ve found useful and spreading the word about this site.

Is that this much easy??? i am a bit confused. I have to give some try with that.
$5500 from blog?????? You don’t have to work do you.
Those are great figures on your traffic stats. Thanks for sharing with us
I would hate to see you stop posting. I am impressed with the money you have made. I am going to start a side Blog for fun and money
I told shoemoney that I found his blog because of you! but I am not sure if he cared since he well you know. Anyways congratulations and hope all is well with the fam and work…
I remember having a similar moment after switching up the AdSense on a particular personal blog. It was a combination of “Oh my god this is awesome” and “I am so stupid for not trying this sooner”, but from then on I was able to do similar with all my blogs.
It seems like there are a few major hurdles in earning money online, and when you pass one it’s an incredibly cool feeling.
Congrats! Those are some seriously impressive statistics.
Congrats. Very nice change.
Wow, your earning figure really inspire me
“Private Ad Sales: $2050.00
Google AdSense: $2193.54″, sometime I just don’t believe I can make such amount from ad space…
Please accept my congratulations. Good showing by any yard stick. Yes, I would like to see many posts and what I need to do to increase stats in geektalk, I shall.
You’re doing some good numbers.. I think (however) you’d be doing better if you put a medium rectangle ad inside with your text (perhaps float it to the left)… I’ve always done best with this setup.
Best of luck!
I think adsense placement, etc. is all about trial and error. I’ve tried the “recommended” adsense placements on my sites and have found that it doesn’t necessarily work for all. Congrats. Your revenue statement has encouraged me to get more on the ball with blogging.
Congrats. You are getting a higher percentage out of adsense than I thought was possible. I find it funny that in the comments on this post there are suggestions on ways to tweak what you have done. Did these people not see the CTR of 3.25%?
Wow, that’s really impressive. Congrats.
75,000 unique visitors in a month is an awesome achievement, no wonder you can afford to keep going on those swanky trips to London
Are your text-link ads no-follow?
I’m astonished at the profits people are making from blogging. It’s really pretty amazing. I’ve got to get my ass in gear before everyone finds out about this.
wow!! that much! real inspiration. I’ve been trying to get my blogs to generate anything! I need to take a harder look at adsense. thanks for the info.
Congratulations, what an achievement!
Those are incredible stats.
It just goes to show the need for always tweaking & testing, and how sometimes it really does pay to do the opposite of what everybody else is telling you to do.
Great job!

$5435.46 is really a great amount for 1 blog. I am now trying to accomplish that too but it sure its hard. You really have to put many times and effort to do that and it took maybe months or even years.
doing is much different than writing, i had never seen any blog which earns around 5k / month.
I’m new to your site. What was the old adsense layout?
Also, I completely agree on not taking A-list bloggers word for granted: most of them usually don’t know what they talk about - really.
wow..that is very impressive…..
I can’t picture this, I would be happy with 1/10 of that.

Our old layout consisted of placing adsense ads within the posts. The click through rate and eCPM was much lower and not the mention I had always felt the ads got in the way of the actual article. The 160 x 600 is out of the way and daily profits are great.
I’m really confused, how can one get such a big adsense earnings? The matter has to be thought over. Anyways when you have made such earnings it is good for you. And I would definetely congrat you for that.
Yes I am also very impressed. I wonder how many visitors you get every month to achieve such a large amount of clicks?
Those are some impressive earnings. I’m surprised your adsense are so high compared to your private ad sales.
Great improvement! i agree with you that experimentation with your placement and colors will make a change.
I recently changed from 3 different ad units to only 1 on one of my sites and ahve seen a huge increase in my CTR and PPC. It just takes time and messing around with it to find what works best.
No Wonder having 165,926 page views from 75,421 unique visitors
Not bad!
All around very good numbers. Congrats! Just a little change in color schemes and Google Ad size. If the blog content is good, sometimes a slight change in look is all that’s needed! Let’s hope it sustains.
That is some drastic, FANTASTIC improvements man. Congrats. I find that I tend to settle for what I’ve done in the past and think what a pain it is to move things around. But when you actually make changes for the better you realize it was not so difficult and you could not image having not taken those steps.
I envy you sir. Great work!
Nice increase! That is one big jump in earnings, congrats.
You’re living the life.
Very impressive. Thanks for sharing the adsense and statistics info.
Great post thanks for sharing your experience. Getting visitors is the key factor..
Hi! This is a very interesting post!
I am a Google Certified Advertising Professional and a lot of clients are trying to increase their income on the Google Adsense network. You are now bookmarked!
Cool, although adsense has been down, you have been able to make good earnings
$5435.46 Wow am really impressed, Great job!
Getting so much Adsense revenue for this kind of blog is a great success. I guess you have lots of traffic from SE.
Congratulations! I’m impressed at the profits you are making from blogging. Thanks for sharing with us.
I will be back soon.
Best wishes
You are doing pretty darn good with adsense. I guess I better get back to the drawing board to catch up!
$3.33 hosting? Who is your host???
@ Marguerite Jasmin
Hosting was not as expensive as you think nowadays, try to search in google and you will find such hosting company. For example namecheap charge only $2.91 for their basic hosting
Wow,
am breathless. Its really making money online.
thanx for sharing
jennie
Thank you for the information pelarge.
To make money online is a large percentage of today’s population goal in the recession that is upon us. Small business owners and most major companies are looking to make money online too. With webhosting ranging from 6.95 to 20 dollars per month start up cost and monthly fees are far less than running a brick and mortar business.
Amazing stats. It is truely inspirational to read about people who are so successful online.
I agree with what you say that you should never follow suit. Sure, use the experience of others to your advantage but what works for them will not always work for you!
Cheers
John
With my Adsense sites I always spend a lot of time working out what will give me the best CTR. Some sites do a lot better than others even although I’ve used the exact same theme. Just keep working at it.
I know that paid optimization is essential part of organic optimization. By it, we can increase our chance to get better result in SEs as well as conversion rate.
You have mentioned nice information about paid campaign.
It will be insisted users to contact you.
Awesome just awesome Jason, adsense earning has shot up for you.
Way to go. Good to see that you are testing and tracking… I’m sure with a few more tweaks you will increase your earnings even more… although your clickthrough rate is already very impressive.
Congratulation with the great revenue, I also trying build my blog bigger and I hope I can accomplish something like this.
That’s a lot. How to make that? Any advices?
i really hope i can achieve that target one day…
$5000 from your blog thats really good going there
I envy you for that. Im just starting my luck with adsense.
