you know when you said about you should have some sort of traffic requirement I agree with you, because I now have a google ad that I dont even have a clue about...But on the other hand if I was seasoned and knowledgeable about this sort of thing I would have never found your channel so its a catch 22 dont ya think.
Please answer my question! So my website will be launching in about 2 days, and it is a photo retouching website, i market alot on model mayhem, and get ok business, but do you think its worth it to have adsense on my website, because a site like mine will not be getting hundreds of views a day.
If people are already distracted by your background in the other vids (i've watched them all and never noticed anything but your words) it doesn't surprise me those are the same people that get distracted by adsense and moneymoneymoney and don't understand your point here. Makes perfect sense to me though. Thanx for the great advice.
Hi Lisa, you are right... someone should concentrate on content and not try to move around the system. It may take some work to get the traffic, as you mentioned, but at least the person will have more knowledge on how to get the traffic. Focusing on content is a good thing. Thank you.
Hi Liza, I've created a new blog and it is in its 5th day as of today. And I got like 400++ a day. So far I earned .91 cents from adsense. My Question is am I doing okay? And also, I've sign up with adbrite, which is better concentrate on adsense or mix it up?
Hi Lisa, you dont have to reply this if you don´t want to but I just want to say thanks for your reply and wow...I got a reply from "The Lisa" herself...Girl I watch your vids everyday and go to your website to improve on my traffic and learn from you...girl you is like a celebrity to me *lol*. I know you got like tons to reply but thanks for taking the time to reply me. Thanks so much for the many infos and God Bless!
Im one of those who applied adsense way too soon but luckily Im not really bothered about my cents earnings at this moment from adsense & still in the process of learning how to market my blog correctly & adding original content if not daily 3 times a week. My ? is, when the day comes where I have good traffic like yours for example, will google place ads where the earnings are more than just 5 / 10c per click? How does it work? More traffic more quality ads therefore more earnings per click?
@loudewijks Some believe the more traffic your site gets, the more you can earn per click but I have no confirmation of that. Although it does seem I earn a bit more per click based on my total earnings and # of clicks. Again there is no proof, just speculation.
In just one week, i went from top 40 in my category to
top 18!
I average about 350 viewers a day now..compared to 50. a week ago.
Im continuing to try and market my blogs..
Now that traffic is improving...im still having prob on my adsense clicks. I get an average of 1$ a day. Could u please look at my website for a bit..and see whats good/bad/wrong? Thanks
Hi Lisa, I agree somewhat, but I think that the person's focus must change and not just the adsense terms to block those who are not building knowledge of marketing itself. What I am doing is integrating adsense INTO my content as I go along. This way the content can be marketed fully. I will have more time to promote once the content is there. I'm interlinking and using affiliate links also. It's double the work to go back to just add adsense. Just another angle to consider. Pinky
@Pinky2D4 I agree and that's what I did too. Unfortunately most people don't. They build 5 pages and then frantically check their earnings every hour and suddenly forget this is about building a long-term business that takes time. Maybe blocking them is not the answer. Perhaps Google should work harder at EDUCATING people about how to do it effectively. After all, that would help their bottom line too.
but, that computer screen was nice, i think it was 23 inch, i'm getting a 23 inch soon, it will be awsom. I was able to concentrate on what Lisa was saying and there was a nice background to look at as well, now the background is boring, the last place is better, but Lisa should do videos all around the house and make sure there's something expencive and nice in the background, it's very motivation, when I get my money, i'll get the best computer in the world, and car, and then a house
Hello, I've just registered with adsense, but I dont think it would be good for Google to implement this traffic counter. Say Google has ads placed on 1000 low traffic websites, and they get some clicks I dont think Google is out anything for letting the sites place these ads.
I think a requirement of around 100 visitors a day would be a fair move for google to implement.
Many people who are building crummy websites today, thinking that they will make it rich online will be forced to either improve their site or find another career.
This would then clean up the internet somewhat.
Oh and about the office background, I think it was real, however I could never figure out why someone who made all their money online would have a pair of scissors on their desk. Hmphh?
This is the only video I don't like that you made. I am still kinda new to Adsense. I dont think there should be a traffic Requirement. Because how would people learn how to get traffic.
I started a site through SBi in May and was averaging 20 uniques/day. I followed the AC and wrote content and waited for their 30page/30visitor rule before joining Adsense.... THEN - the July 4th weekend came around and Thursday I had 400 uniques, Friday:1600, Saturday 2600- I thought I made it and rushed to put adsense on my pages. That was stumbleupon traffic that left as soon as it came, and now I'm stuck checking adsense every hour(though now its at 90/90 and still growing)! I say wait!
Hello Lisa, My name is Darwin and you have inspired and motivated me to market thru adsense and build my own website! i have several questions to ask you and hopefully you will have the answers :P!!! Ok here we go; How can i get more traffic thru my website and blog sites? Can you take a look @ my blogs and website? Maybe give me some constructive criticism so i can have better success! As you can tell, i am new to this and actually enjoy adsense! So Please help a dude out...........thxs!
Please help. I'm new. I have a video that just hit 22,000 in three months. Youtube has it marked as a Featured video. They have advertisements from AmazonMp3 imbedded in my video and on the side of it fire house subs or a college ad. How can I make some change off my own video? Whos making the money now off of it? The ads look just like urs imbedded and off to the right side. I know ur busy but u seem like one of the cool people on the web that is willing to help us newbies out.
I would like to know is adsense pay structure like ebays new quality click pricing. If they buy something from the add on your site you get a bigger cpc??
I totally agree with Lisa. I was focusing on Adsense way to much and I never tried to promote my sites. I started using YouTube for one sites and I have seen a huge increase in my traffic (and clicks). Now I am going to start making videos for my other site.
Hey Lisa, I have been following your videos for some time, but this is my first comment. I find this to be a great video. I couldn't agree with you more on this reaction to the comments made on the video in question. Even though it's a personal opinion, I totally agree with you. Thanks for your insightful advice regarding the importance of building the right traffic to earn money!
First, I'm sorry, I probably shouldn't say this because it's not business but you are stunningly beautiful. But I did manage to look at you and to listen to what you were saying :-)
I love your leadership & teaching ability, speaking ability. Excellent.
OK - Wow! Even though I don't have a lot of traffic to my sites per day, I agree with you. That is a real good reason. I like that. I agree. Because it is sooo important where your focus is.
The subset of the population that obsess over AdSense instead of generating new content are not going to be persuaded to generate new content by modifying the AdSense terms; these people will simply move on to find something else to obsess over and tinker with.
Making new content is hard for most people, and tinkering with AdSense is more fun. If a child, or adult, is playing with something in order to avoid doing something that is less enjoyable, simply taking away the toy of the moment doesn't mean that they are going to suddenly have an overpowering urge to do the thing that they've been putting off they'll just find something else to distract them. Nannying this group is not the answer; they need more education.
For all the experienced people on here.... how difficult is it to launch a site that will make $10.00 (ten) per day? I just want ten sites each making ten per day. Is this goal really that difficult? I have been doing web design for a few years for some local businesses, but I would like to see if I can create some content for affiliate marketing.
It sounds like you're familiar with the 10x10 method. You do one thing successfully and then multiply it x10. You can have 10 sites that make you $10 a day. You have the right idea. A lot of people look at having one site that makes them thousands, but the more sites you have bringing in small amounts the more money you'll make. Good luck in your endeavors.
A site owner will require between 35,000 to 40,000 visitors to get around 300 to 350 clicks, (ratio of approx. 1%). And, (depending on the topics pulling in the keywords for the AdSense ads), the site owner might make $80 - $100.00.
YouTube partner earnings are even less. It may take a YouTuber 150,000 page impressions to get a thousand or so clicks to earn the same amount of money. Lisa is correct in saying you will require LOADS & LOADS & LOADS of traffic to earn enough to quit your day job!
Lisa, been watching your videos for a couple of months. I am an net admin/IT instructor of 12yrs (strictly mentioning for frame of ref), and I was quite caught off guard by that comment in the last video as well (thought I did not post anything).
There should be no limit to adsense, just from the educational side alone, some individuals are looking to see "what's under the hood" and really want to play and tinker with the whole affiliate/contextual monetizing area of the web.
To tell these individuals they should not have a right to that may hinder the large adoption rate adsense has(a fact I'm sure Google knows all too well). If motivation for the individual comes to them fifty cents at a time, so be it, you have made a strong case about content and its part in the system. They can then follow the tweaks or improvements they make and see how they grow...from fifty cents a week to the six figure income you now enjoy
I would say the comment was indicative of saying "no one should have a free email address from a provider (Yahoo/GMail/MSN) until they have 150 friends who have email addresses of their own". How many email addresses go to waste every single second? How many businesses are launched on a single idea w/ a free email address?
Overall, thank you for providing these videos and advice to all.
I now no longer use adsense. I mean, adsense can be great, but I would rather make $10 or more on a product than a few cents on adsense. But yeah, I agree with what you are saying. People need to learn how to market before they start posting adsense..or affiliate links for that matter. It is best to take it one step at a time. I am only saying this b/c I have been there.
I agree with everything you said. I started learning affiliate marketing two years ago. The very first thing I did was make a blogger blog and put up adsense. At the time I didn't know how to do SEO. I did write content however. Because I didn't optimize, I didn't get much traffic. I continued to check my adsense 10 times a day. I would get discouraged that I only made 10 cents. I eventually joined a program which helped me learn how to market effectively.
I agree with you completely. I'm starting my own internet-related blog and honestly, a traffic limit would take out 80% of all the "trash" beforehand both helping other true bloggers stand out more from less web congestion and also helping the actual reader find those gems in the sea of "trash".
Btw, thanks for informing us about affiliate marketing and such. I'm now subscribed to many pro-bloggers like John Chow, Michael Dunlop, and Yaro Starak to learn the special ways and avoid mistakes. =)
Thanks for your advice again on adsense. You can never talk too much about this topic, always things to learn. Question: How long before a site gets properly indexed on Google? And what do you think about being listed in directories, would these no be good back links?
I disagree with adsense requiring a certain amount of traffic. I was originally rejected from adsense because of content. That was discouraging. I reapplied and was accepted. I am reading all I can on blogging, content, and listening to your vidoes. I am continuing to write.
At the end of the day it does not matter at what cycle you join adsense, as long as you are promoting your site correctly and fulfilling a need, people will click on your adds, you don't need a traffic requirment to do that. Keep in mind that people who are joining adsense on average probably never worked in the web development industry, they just heard about adsense from a friend and decided they wanted to make a profit, not taking in consideration the effort behind the madness.
I don't agree, I think your dead wrong Lisa, you and other successful internet marketers, such as Darren Rowse, had gotten a head start on this. Before there was an adsense program you and others like you were doing this as hobby, but we are in a different day now, and most people who joins adsense will join for profit, not for hobbies. I think it should remain the same and those who treat there site as a hobby and not profit will make a profit. That is my point on the subject.
Hi Lisa, I like your videos, however, with all do respect, have you ever considered making your videos shorter. Perhaps putting the same amount of info in 5 mins. I like to do things quick and sometimes it sucks to kill 10- 15 mins out of my day. It might seem pathetic, but the shorter the vids, the more I can watch.. lol yours seem to be the longest. I love your vids though!
I don't think adding a traffic limit to Adsense would help. The main reason is because the people that are interested in the quick buck from making a website burn out in general after a few months. Its not that Adsense takes their entire interest from their website, but what you talked about in other videos - making a site on something you love. If you love your site, Adsense will be a by-product to your site naturally, and you've established you want to inform people, then make money. IMO.
i've signed up adsense but i never really worried about, for the past three months i've posting on so many forums that i ran out of bookmarking space on my browser. ive been trying to use twitter but i dont understand it. about your limit on adsense u make a valid point but ill have to disagree simply because thats not always the case. adsense is a great motivation tool for people just starting a website. im not in a rush to money with my site but to me adsense is a nice compliment to my content
anyway, my thoughts exactly as yours and i bookmarked this vid so i can remind myself (you should post it on your blog).
i agree except on sites that depend almost totally on the digg/redit burst effect. But those type of sites fluctuate too much on daily traffic and "probably" in the long term are not the best steady adsense moniesmakers... or are they?
Lisa, you hit it for me. i let adsense blind me when i should be paying more attention to content creation. i am trying to do to many other non important things like seo and themes. in the past 4 months i have only made 10 cents but i am grateful for the 10.
Another great video. You make a lot of sense (pardon the pun) about AdSense Traffic Requirements. If I don't have quality content, I'm not going to get quantity traffic.
You are absolutely right. I'm one of those with a few websites, but with very little traffic, so I end up spending time messing around with the ad banners, and not enough on my content.
The problem is that people seem to think that putting up an ad banner means I've stuck gold, woohoo, let the money flow. A week later they come back and see "hey I only made $0.50 cents, what's wrong.
Seriously people, a site is about the content you bring, and not about the ad banners you show. Ads are 2nd.
But pls respond in the comments pls i am so lost:
I wanna try this internet money, finaly i have watched all of your vids, but i cant come up with some simple and uniqe idea for my website / blog? What should i do, gimme some advice?
Low or no traffic requirement allows new marketers to test the waters with AdSense and see how it will work in their market. I do agree that some people misuse AdSense and create poor quality sites just to get ad clicks. I don't know if imposing traffic requirements would solve that problem. They may impose a quality score like they do with AdWords. That might be a more effective way to weed out abuse and won't hurt newbies that are trying to build a legitimate online business.
Think of advertising as advertising. Suppose you were looking to directly sell advertising on your web site. If you told potential advertisers that you have small levels of traffic, the money they'd be willing to spend, if anything, would be very limited. Why would anybody expect to make more than just a little on adsense, unless they had respectable traffic? Whether you sold adspace or got paid on the results of ads, such as with adsense, it's still dependent on traffic! I miss the pins!!
I'm an AdSense publisher and an AdWords advertiser. Anything you do to AdSense will ultimately affect AdWords, which is Google's bread and butter. If you impose traffic requirements on Google AdSense publishers, you may be eliminating a huge chunk of the AdWords content network, which may cause many advertisers in highly specialized niche markets to leave.
I'm not sure I completely agree with this. True, they are both related. But remember AdSense is a product of AdWords, not the other way around. AdWords was quite profitable on its own long before AdSense was born. But you do have a point in that AdSense provides more advertising spaces for smaller, narrow niches.
I earn a full time living from my websites. Having said that, I disagree that Google should bar people from AdSense just because their traffic is low. Some times, getting the first click is sufficient motivation for people to continue working on their site and adding more content. Many people get demotivated not because they spend too much time fiddling with AdSense, but because despite all the content they put in, they aren't generating traffic.
Comments like that about location are good actually! It actually means your viewers are interested in you and your life. Your workspace also made you more relatable and also answered an unspoken question everyone has for bloggers, "What's your workspace like?"
Personally I think this new backdrop is rather boring. Go back to your desk.
makes good sense. it depends on the person. i dont have alot of visitors to my site, i have adsense up, and i am still building content and promoting the site.
i know though, that some will get distracted like you mention.
what's the thing behind your shoulders ? just kidding, i know it's a chair :)
Lisa, I understood your point in the previous video regarding AdSense and visitor count, and I'm not even involved in monetizing my content. So, regarding the location move ... What is that painting? :D
The downside to putting traffic requirements on Adsense is that it takes time to get the account set up and verified. That time allows you to build traffic to your site - unless you do like I did and target a HUGE market! As tight as the economy is, a lot of us are wondering how we are going to pay the bills. The "lax" rules on Adsense and no traffic minimum just might save somebody from losing everything they own. (The economy is REALLY that bad)
here are some suggestions for new videos on web marketing. 1) Adbrite, 2)Comission Junction 3) Adsense Banning Reasons - their TOS is a bit far from clear.
well i don't think there should be a requirement. i think everybody should have a chance when they are starting out. if a person is just starting out and they are allowed into the program they'll feel good. They'll work hard and when they log in to google adsense and see their first click(no matter how much traffic they've received)they'll be motivated to work even harder. However, if they have to have atleast a certain amount of traffic before joining the program, they'll lose hope and give up.
i think requirements are GREAT makes google focus on their ads instead of dead dry sites trying to come in. i have min 130 people a day. and i dont have any ads on my site but i still think its too little. i will start once i have 2000 a day. what do u guys think?
I think you are spot on with this after reading your website I took all of my adsense ads down and focused on the content. My traffic is still spotty, but we are moving up 5 one day 30 the next nothing one day 50 the next, so we are gaining some traction. This is my 3rd month so by Christmas I hope to even all of this out. Good vid!
Great Vid! I need to focus more on my site and how to market it well.... Yes! I get so excited about this stuff (building traffic, putting up ads etc..) and forget what to do and what not to do... So yes, I did watch your videos 8 times each so I could stay focus! Seriously! hahahah
400 views on the first day! 400 on the second day! Gone at the end of the second day. :( Too bad you can get expelled for that. I could do it for another school though!
Now I don't have the site, but I want to make another one that will be good for all my friends at school to go to. Any ideas? I am thinking about adding music videos and songs on the site, is that illegal? Isn't it only illegal if I have them to download? Cause I won't.
I made a site about my school and it was like news, gossip, and rumors for my Junior High. I had 397 views the first day, no clicks. Then the next day I had around 400 views again and had 15 clicks. (I might have told a few people to click them) but I got $8.93 for 15 clicks! That's alot more than my other sites that get like no views, so I'll only make like $0.20 each and the site I made was awesome. I took it down because if they found out who was making it they could expell me.
About adsense and content i think that people should not make a website just directed to make money,
For me the most important thing is to really like you are doing and don't focus in Adsense or other incomes,
Although I've to say that when i first joined adsense i was always checking the stats.
About the traffic requirements i think that google could make a better monitorization of the sites you are using adsense with because once you have an account you can place ads anywhere.
Ha ha, sorry but would it be too much to ask to remove that painting? Unfortunately it is still distracting to me - my eyes keep going to it ... is that a potato, is that a coconut? Would be great if the background is just a simple plain wall. Hey, keep doing AdSense videos, as long as you have something to say, everybody will listen!
not disagreeing with you, and i understood perfectly what you meant: if google had a minimum traffic requirement the site owner would be far more successful at making adsense, and thereby continue to concentrate on marketing.
In my situation however, my niche is very tiny, yet lucrative. I am #2 and #1 for many keywords, yet I get 25 solid targeted visitors each day. thank god there is no minimum traffic requirements for me, or anyone else in my niche. we'd all be hurt.
I prefer having adsense open to anybody, even if they have no traffic. It's important to learn both how to use adsense while you are making and marketing your websites.
ok booo! i have a ques... now... if you making this money on line .. how do u file taxes at the end of the year ... cuz this is a real job right .????
I just think for some, its nice to have that potential to make money there, even if it is negligible. That in itself can help motivate people in making their site better. It might seem silly but I can see people getting discouraged not having their site have any money making ability. I remember my first few AdSence clicks, they were insignificant, but I thought they were cool, so I spent time upgrading my site. So for some, it may have a positive effect on content.
I agree with the last post. You do very well speaking wise, and have very few "ummms", which makes you really easy to view and listen to. keep it up! =)
i was listening to everything you were saying, lol. But I was wondering, have you taken public speaking classes or something? You're very good at talking for long periods without pausing or slurring or anything, even though it's just to a camera. that's something I really struggle with and I suppose it's important to go learn how to publicly speak for what you do.
Thank you. That means a lot. No I haven't had any training. But wanna know something interesting? I absolutely HATE public speaking. But for some reason I am extremely comfortable with these vids... I guess because I have no live audience. LOL
cool!

This is the only video I don't like that you made. I am still kinda new to Adsense. I dont think there should be a traffic Requirement. Because how would people learn how to get traffic.

I started a site through SBi in May and was averaging 20 uniques/day. I followed the AC and wrote content and waited for their 30page/30visitor rule before joining Adsense.... THEN - the July 4th weekend came around and Thursday I had 400 uniques, Friday:1600, Saturday 2600- I thought I made it and rushed to put adsense on my pages. That was stumbleupon traffic that left as soon as it came, and now I'm stuck checking adsense every hour(though now its at 90/90 and still growing)! I say wait!

The subset of the population that obsess over AdSense instead of generating new content are not going to be persuaded to generate new content by modifying the AdSense terms; these people will simply move on to find something else to obsess over and tinker with.
cswpride 2 years ago
Making new content is hard for most people, and tinkering with AdSense is more fun. If a child, or adult, is playing with something in order to avoid doing something that is less enjoyable, simply taking away the toy of the moment doesn't mean that they are going to suddenly have an overpowering urge to do the thing that they've been putting off they'll just find something else to distract them. Nannying this group is not the answer; they need more education.

For all the experienced people on here.... how difficult is it to launch a site that will make $10.00 (ten) per day? I just want ten sites each making ten per day. Is this goal really that difficult? I have been doing web design for a few years for some local businesses, but I would like to see if I can create some content for affiliate marketing.
crazyjethro87 2 years ago
It sounds like you're familiar with the 10x10 method. You do one thing successfully and then multiply it x10. You can have 10 sites that make you $10 a day. You have the right idea. A lot of people look at having one site that makes them thousands, but the more sites you have bringing in small amounts the more money you'll make. Good luck in your endeavors.

A site owner will require between 35,000 to 40,000 visitors to get around 300 to 350 clicks, (ratio of approx. 1%). And, (depending on the topics pulling in the keywords for the AdSense ads), the site owner might make $80 - $100.00.
YouTube partner earnings are even less. It may take a YouTuber 150,000 page impressions to get a thousand or so clicks to earn the same amount of money. Lisa is correct in saying you will require LOADS & LOADS & LOADS of traffic to earn enough to quit your day job!

Lisa, been watching your videos for a couple of months. I am an net admin/IT instructor of 12yrs (strictly mentioning for frame of ref), and I was quite caught off guard by that comment in the last video as well (thought I did not post anything).
There should be no limit to adsense, just from the educational side alone, some individuals are looking to see "what's under the hood" and really want to play and tinker with the whole affiliate/contextual monetizing area of the web.
comptech22 2 years ago
To tell these individuals they should not have a right to that may hinder the large adoption rate adsense has(a fact I'm sure Google knows all too well). If motivation for the individual comes to them fifty cents at a time, so be it, you have made a strong case about content and its part in the system. They can then follow the tweaks or improvements they make and see how they grow...from fifty cents a week to the six figure income you now enjoy
comptech22 2 years ago
I would say the comment was indicative of saying "no one should have a free email address from a provider (Yahoo/GMail/MSN) until they have 150 friends who have email addresses of their own". How many email addresses go to waste every single second? How many businesses are launched on a single idea w/ a free email address?
Overall, thank you for providing these videos and advice to all.

I now no longer use adsense. I mean, adsense can be great, but I would rather make $10 or more on a product than a few cents on adsense. But yeah, I agree with what you are saying. People need to learn how to market before they start posting adsense..or affiliate links for that matter. It is best to take it one step at a time. I am only saying this b/c I have been there.
jamielynnp24 2 years ago
I agree with everything you said. I started learning affiliate marketing two years ago. The very first thing I did was make a blogger blog and put up adsense. At the time I didn't know how to do SEO. I did write content however. Because I didn't optimize, I didn't get much traffic. I continued to check my adsense 10 times a day. I would get discouraged that I only made 10 cents. I eventually joined a program which helped me learn how to market effectively.
jamielynnp24 2 years ago
I agree with you completely. I'm starting my own internet-related blog and honestly, a traffic limit would take out 80% of all the "trash" beforehand both helping other true bloggers stand out more from less web congestion and also helping the actual reader find those gems in the sea of "trash".
Btw, thanks for informing us about affiliate marketing and such. I'm now subscribed to many pro-bloggers like John Chow, Michael Dunlop, and Yaro Starak to learn the special ways and avoid mistakes. =)

At the end of the day it does not matter at what cycle you join adsense, as long as you are promoting your site correctly and fulfilling a need, people will click on your adds, you don't need a traffic requirment to do that. Keep in mind that people who are joining adsense on average probably never worked in the web development industry, they just heard about adsense from a friend and decided they wanted to make a profit, not taking in consideration the effort behind the madness.
cdubb2u 2 years ago
I don't agree, I think your dead wrong Lisa, you and other successful internet marketers, such as Darren Rowse, had gotten a head start on this. Before there was an adsense program you and others like you were doing this as hobby, but we are in a different day now, and most people who joins adsense will join for profit, not for hobbies. I think it should remain the same and those who treat there site as a hobby and not profit will make a profit. That is my point on the subject.
cdubb2u 2 years ago
Hi Lisa, I like your videos, however, with all do respect, have you ever considered making your videos shorter. Perhaps putting the same amount of info in 5 mins. I like to do things quick and sometimes it sucks to kill 10- 15 mins out of my day. It might seem pathetic, but the shorter the vids, the more I can watch.. lol yours seem to be the longest. I love your vids though!

I don't think adding a traffic limit to Adsense would help. The main reason is because the people that are interested in the quick buck from making a website burn out in general after a few months. Its not that Adsense takes their entire interest from their website, but what you talked about in other videos - making a site on something you love. If you love your site, Adsense will be a by-product to your site naturally, and you've established you want to inform people, then make money. IMO.

i've signed up adsense but i never really worried about, for the past three months i've posting on so many forums that i ran out of bookmarking space on my browser. ive been trying to use twitter but i dont understand it. about your limit on adsense u make a valid point but ill have to disagree simply because thats not always the case. adsense is a great motivation tool for people just starting a website. im not in a rush to money with my site but to me adsense is a nice compliment to my content

anyway, my thoughts exactly as yours and i bookmarked this vid so i can remind myself (you should post it on your blog).
i agree except on sites that depend almost totally on the digg/redit burst effect. But those type of sites fluctuate too much on daily traffic and "probably" in the long term are not the best steady adsense moniesmakers... or are they?

GradyBaby13 2 years ago
You are absolutely right. I'm one of those with a few websites, but with very little traffic, so I end up spending time messing around with the ad banners, and not enough on my content.
The problem is that people seem to think that putting up an ad banner means I've stuck gold, woohoo, let the money flow. A week later they come back and see "hey I only made $0.50 cents, what's wrong.
Seriously people, a site is about the content you bring, and not about the ad banners you show. Ads are 2nd.

Low or no traffic requirement allows new marketers to test the waters with AdSense and see how it will work in their market. I do agree that some people misuse AdSense and create poor quality sites just to get ad clicks. I don't know if imposing traffic requirements would solve that problem. They may impose a quality score like they do with AdWords. That might be a more effective way to weed out abuse and won't hurt newbies that are trying to build a legitimate online business.

Think of advertising as advertising. Suppose you were looking to directly sell advertising on your web site. If you told potential advertisers that you have small levels of traffic, the money they'd be willing to spend, if anything, would be very limited. Why would anybody expect to make more than just a little on adsense, unless they had respectable traffic? Whether you sold adspace or got paid on the results of ads, such as with adsense, it's still dependent on traffic! I miss the pins!!
shadowrottweiler 2 years ago
I'm an AdSense publisher and an AdWords advertiser. Anything you do to AdSense will ultimately affect AdWords, which is Google's bread and butter. If you impose traffic requirements on Google AdSense publishers, you may be eliminating a huge chunk of the AdWords content network, which may cause many advertisers in highly specialized niche markets to leave.
eqmico 2 years ago
I'm not sure I completely agree with this. True, they are both related. But remember AdSense is a product of AdWords, not the other way around. AdWords was quite profitable on its own long before AdSense was born. But you do have a point in that AdSense provides more advertising spaces for smaller, narrow niches.
lisa3876 2 years ago
I earn a full time living from my websites. Having said that, I disagree that Google should bar people from AdSense just because their traffic is low. Some times, getting the first click is sufficient motivation for people to continue working on their site and adding more content. Many people get demotivated not because they spend too much time fiddling with AdSense, but because despite all the content they put in, they aren't generating traffic.

DuaneEH 2 years ago
The downside to putting traffic requirements on Adsense is that it takes time to get the account set up and verified. That time allows you to build traffic to your site - unless you do like I did and target a HUGE market! As tight as the economy is, a lot of us are wondering how we are going to pay the bills. The "lax" rules on Adsense and no traffic minimum just might save somebody from losing everything they own. (The economy is REALLY that bad)

well i don't think there should be a requirement. i think everybody should have a chance when they are starting out. if a person is just starting out and they are allowed into the program they'll feel good. They'll work hard and when they log in to google adsense and see their first click(no matter how much traffic they've received)they'll be motivated to work even harder. However, if they have to have atleast a certain amount of traffic before joining the program, they'll lose hope and give up.

boko577 2 years ago
I made a site about my school and it was like news, gossip, and rumors for my Junior High. I had 397 views the first day, no clicks. Then the next day I had around 400 views again and had 15 clicks. (I might have told a few people to click them) but I got $8.93 for 15 clicks! That's alot more than my other sites that get like no views, so I'll only make like $0.20 each and the site I made was awesome. I took it down because if they found out who was making it they could expell me.

Sorry for the two comments, but i cant make it short:
I also agree that people should be required to have at least 100-200 visitors a day to use Adsense, it could be better for Advertisers and Publishers.
Google can do it, they have Google Analytics right?
By the way you should make a video about Google Analytics, I've been using it for some months now and it's great (way better than AwStats).

Hello,
About adsense and content i think that people should not make a website just directed to make money,
For me the most important thing is to really like you are doing and don't focus in Adsense or other incomes,
Although I've to say that when i first joined adsense i was always checking the stats.
About the traffic requirements i think that google could make a better monitorization of the sites you are using adsense with because once you have an account you can place ads anywhere.

not disagreeing with you, and i understood perfectly what you meant: if google had a minimum traffic requirement the site owner would be far more successful at making adsense, and thereby continue to concentrate on marketing.
In my situation however, my niche is very tiny, yet lucrative. I am #2 and #1 for many keywords, yet I get 25 solid targeted visitors each day. thank god there is no minimum traffic requirements for me, or anyone else in my niche. we'd all be hurt.

I just think for some, its nice to have that potential to make money there, even if it is negligible. That in itself can help motivate people in making their site better. It might seem silly but I can see people getting discouraged not having their site have any money making ability. I remember my first few AdSence clicks, they were insignificant, but I thought they were cool, so I spent time upgrading my site. So for some, it may have a positive effect on content.
