Google ads update - getting richer every second
I am sure the world is waiting with bated breath to find out how much moolah I am raking in with my recent sell out (as Santosh puts it!) to commericalism. Well, you will all be excited to know that I am pulling in a princely 90 cents a day on an average! Woo hoo! Since it will take almost 2 years to collect enough to buy a Nokia 9500 at this rate, I am thinking I can instead use the 90 cents to buy an omlette paratha everyday from the dhaba downstairs from my office.
A little bit of research in to the whole adsense thing revealed that an industry exists solely on top of adsense revenues! There are scores of sites which provide tips on how to maximize the ad potential of your website. In fact many websites make over $30,000 a month only from Google ads! However, this is not easy money as it might first appear to be. To make that kind of money, your website needs to provide lot of useful content to be able to attract millions of visitors. The website content has to be such that Google delivers right kind of ads. So its a full time job but it pays well!
Any how, if I can't soon upgrade myself from eating omlette parathas, these ads are going off my blog!

I tried it on my personal blog once. I think I made something like 2$ a day. It still wasn't worth putting all the personal acquaintances through it :)
But, good luck to you! You should talk to Amit Agarwal about it sometime and get some help :)

Gaurav,
One thing that's probably effecting you: google does not sell the ad impressions for indian traffic at high rates.
My last trip to India, I was getting a lot of Indian traffic (when we were organizing barcamp). I noticed that while my traffic and clicks had increased, my revenue took a _dramatic_ hit ... 50% or so. That means that Indian clicks are worth maybe 25% of what an American click is worth.
I think google might be undervaluing Indian clicks, and that there is room for an Indian ad network.

Avijit/Ashish check out http://www.google.com/adsense to see how the whole thing works.
Jon - I suspect that too. I think the other reason is that the contextual ads on my blog are more often than not for Indian businesses (travel sites, job sites etc). Since adwords pricing is decided by a bidding system, I think it is much cheaper to buy advertising for India specific keywords. Correspondingly, adsense revenues are also lower. Oh well, at least its good fun to log in everyday to see how many cents I made today :)

I've been using Google Adsense for about three months, but I've only made about eighty cents. I think most people just block the ads.
