Another Great Month with Adsense: September, 2011

October 30, 2011 — 21 Comments

As I continue to share my candid thoughts, strategies, and methods in my Adsense for Bloggers Series I’m still experimenting and testing (very important) with it here on my blog as well.

Last month I made $431.34 and this month I increased to $604.36! That’s an increase of $173.02 or more than 40% month-over-month! Can I say that my tests and optimizations are actually working? I think so.

I’ll probably share a few more of my thoughts on what I did specifically in the Community Forums in the next week or so but overall it’s been just slugging through testing and optimizing particular areas of the post.

Will I continue to use Google Adsense long-term? Perhaps, but perhaps not. I’ve always been a bit partial to a much-cleaner looking blog with less advertisements but I’ll have to keep thinking about pros and cons – naturally I’ll share those with you as my decision becomes more clear.

Thanks all and I hope you had a great September with Google Adsense!

    It would be nice to see the breakdown of number of clicks and even what ads that get you to that number ($), if you are allowed to share that info.

    Great work Jon! That would make a nice student loan payment. :-)

    I vote for fewer (or smaller) Adsense ads. To riff on your recent blog post, I sense the site may be past the bad tipping point in terms of how they fit in with the aesthetic. You’ll make it work!

    Congrats, that’s a really nice increase and I am sure that it will only go higher and higher from now on.

    Regarding your concerns about the clean look and the ads, I guess that it’s something we all have to deal with and I am sure that by now most of the users and blog readers have understood that Advertising is what keeps blogs alive, so they won’t get that bothered by ads (if you don’t stick them on their face, of course :D )
