Recipe for making money using the site

Case study - from less than 40 euros per day to more than 300 thousand.

In 2003, this self-conscious post appeared on the Webmaster World forum:

Translation:

I make about $40 a day with 1,200 visitors. I have no idea if this is good or bad.

And in 2006, another post, the tone of which is completely different with this title: "How I made a million in three months":

Translation:

I'm probably the first individual editor in terms of page views. I wonder if what I tell you will help, but here's what I know can help you succeed with Adsense.

The one behind this nickname, Marcus Frind, is the webmaster of plentyofship.com, the first free dating site. He became the subject of articles in The Wall Street Journal, and several other magazines.

Spending an hour a day on the site, but with two moderators to filter unwanted ads, the webmaster earns millions of dollars on the free site thanks to advertising.

What is the recipe for achieving such a result? It consists of 6 points:

  1. Get a database of IP addresses, so you can find out where the traffic is coming from. There is no need to present pages to an audience that is not concerned. It also allows ads to be shown to visitors from the countries where they report the most.
  2. Create a site that receives repeated traffic, that is, where visitors return every day. Tethering is not something that will make you rich, with millions of regulars we earn far more. Regardless of the topic.
  3. Let your visitors create content and quantity. (This applies to a dating site). A good example of this is the feedback from visitors about services (reviews). Build a site around visitors and make them part of it, not make them for consumption.
  4. Do not enter a market where there are already a number of competitors using Adsense. Create a new market or free service where competitors pay (which Plenty Of Fish did).
  5. Make your site very simple so that pages load quickly with no more than two ads and one or two images per page. Let users immediately find what they are looking for.
  6. Visit the forums and if we're not talking about your market, chances are you'll make money .

Admittedly, most successful sites, Facebook, Twitter, etc. fit this description.

Effective and easy-to-use Nammoins maintenance will always require good programming and web development experience.

In July 2015, PlentyOfFish was bought by Match Group for $575 million.

Stories of success

Google publishes a hit list with Adsense on its website in the ad management section.
Here are some examples of revenue generated from Adsense alone, figures confirmed by Google. And these are not large sites with numerous staff, but personal sites run by one or two people...

DigitalPoint.com is a website that publishes articles for webmasters, Adsense brings him $10,000 a month.
You know Digg.com and its French counterparts like Wikio, Soopeo, Fuzz, etc. Digg gets $250,000 a month from Adsense.
And PlentyOfFish.com, a free dating site, makes $300,000 a month. I wonder why we make paid dating sites!

Adsense and Advord, what is it?

Adsense is a Google adware program available for any site, even a small personal blog. Ad types vary: contextual ads, search bar, sponsorship...
A contour announcement is an announcement whose subject line matches the content of the page. It is selected by the keywords found on the page, as well as by the wording of the links on the page. The amount of receipts varies from 1 cent to $3 depending on the relevance of the announcement and the ratio of supply and demand .
Adword is an additional program for the advertiser. They have the right to choose how much he is willing to give for each click in their announcement. It can also select keywords and in some cases even sites where its ads will appear. If your site is chosen by advertisers, there are chances that the click gain will be higher.

There are no special conditions for admission to the program, but Google may refuse to place its ads on your site if there is not enough content, or traffic is too low.
It is better to wait until you have about 1000 visitors a day before registering, without which incomes will be quite low, and the risks of being disconnected are greater.
