I want to create a page on googlepages and sign up with adsense. Of course the number of hits varies hugely, but what’s a reasonable number for a semi-decent site. Also, do people actually make money on this, or are the people making good money just a minority, with most people getting about 5 cents a month? Are there any catches to Google Adsense. Is there a better way to make a webpage for free than with googlepages? Thanks.
There are many more publishers earning less than $100 a month for a variety of reasons — lack of traffic, wrong content for Adsense, wrong visitor type for Adsense, poor implementation of ads.
One thing about Adsense that many do not understand is that Adsense works — IF AND ONLY IF you have the right site for Adsense. For the right website, Adsense can give you $10,000 a month or more very easily. But if not, you’ll struggle to earn only pennies a month.
There’s no "reasonable" or right amount of traffic. A site can only get 100,000 pageviews per month and earn $15,000 while another site getting 1 million a month earns only $500.
While traffic is important, traffic is not the most important determinant with Adsense. The key is whether your site is the end destination of the visitors and they’re finding all the information they need and want in your site. Think of a forum or a news site or gossip site — all of these will attract visitors whose main objective is to chat, read news or read gossip. They’re not thinking of anything else when going to your site except to go to your site. These types of sites get low CPM, low CTR and consequently, low revenues
Compare that to a product review site, which provides reviews of a particular product (say camera). Visitors of these sites come because they are in the market for buying a camera, but before they do so they’d like to compare makes and models. The audiences this type of site gets are going to be responsive to the ads shown, which if the targeting is right, will be vendors of cameras. So product review sites do extremely well with Adsense
The key is content and finding out what type of audiences will go visit your site. Then build traffic. It will not be easy, but if you do well, then it feels great
