They are calling him the million dollar man. Jason Calacanis recently revealed in his blog that he is on track to earn a million dollars from AdSense over the year ahead.
And if that number doesn’t wake you up and have you sitting on the edge of your seat, consider for a moment that he reached this level in less than a year. His company only started using AdSense in September 2004.
Calacanis runs Weblogs Inc., a network dedicated to creating trade weblogs across niche industries. And quickly proven that AdSense is a credible advertising partner.
As their network has grown, so has their AdSense revenue. In January 2005 they earned an average of $580 per day. In March it was $737. In May it was $1,585. One day in July, just before he made the blog entry referred to above, they earned $2,335. Remember that is just for one day. If they can take that daily average to $2,740 they’ll be earning a rate of $1 million for a year. And Calacanis predicts that reaching daily earnings of $3,000 or even $5,000 is quite achievable.
That’s quite an achievement. Keep in mind that Calacanis has 103 bloggers on the payroll and nine staffers. Even so, many webmasters would give an arm or a leg to have even a third of that.
Google’s AdSense has been revolutionary. It has become firmly established as the darling of the online advertising industry. Although rumors are heard of major competitors launching a similar service, AdSense’s premier position seems secure for now.
In essence, AdSense has made it possible for almost anyone with a web site or blog to earn some revenue from advertising, without having to employ sales people or spend precious time searching for advertisers.
AdSense works like this. Webmasters sign up for an account in just a few minutes. They receive a small snippet of code to include on their web pages. Google will then automatically serve advertisements that are relevant to the content on the webmaster’s pages. When someone visits the webmaster’s site and clicks on one of Google’s AdSense advertisements, the webmaster earns a fee. Advertisers can pay anywhere from five cents to a hundred dollars per click, and the webmaster receives a percentage of that fee.
Many webmasters are content with earning five to ten dollars from AdSense to cover the cost of web hosting. But many, unsurprising, have higher ambitions. At a popular WebmasterWorld forum, participants share tips and encouragement on reaching a goal of $300 per day from AdSense. So it is no wonder that Calacanis created quite a buzz when he made his million dollar blog entry.
Google have proven once again that they excel at designing innovative Internet services. If you are in the web industry and have not yet used AdSense, then perhaps you should try it out. Or if you are already using it, perhaps Calacanis impressive results will encourage you to track the performance of your AdSense units more closely, fine tune their positions and formats, and take your earnings to a new level.

If you had an awesome site with tons of traffic,could you make money with Adsense?
Suppose that the Million Dollar Homepage guy had used Adsense back in the day. The site had millions of unique visitors every month. Now suppose you had a site very similar, with high traffic (like maybe 500,000 unique visitors a month) Could you make any money from that? I guess I’m asking if AdSense is really a good deal for a site owner?
yes you can, but you have to hassel adsense to pay you your earnings, they will try not to. They still owe me £60 which they arn’t paying me.

You could… though how much would depend on how many successful conversions you get. Not all ads pay just for views. Most pay only if someone actually clicks on them.
One of the sites I manage gets about 100,000 views a month. We make maybe $300 to 400 a month on AdSense…. but we also sell our ad space, so the Adsense ads only show up in unsold slots, and a handful of dedicated AdSense positions near the bottom of the page.

Yes, you could make money from Adsense but it depends on the cost per click of the ad that people are clicking on. Plus with Adsense you only get a percentage. It’s much better to go with affiliate marketing, or create your own product and sell it. You are more in control and make more money that way. Google can always shut you out or cancel the Adsense program at any time.
