Hello,

great story! But how he make it, to become that sum of traffic?
Only article marketing (directories) and so,how article he writesand submitted?

Only with social traffic? When yes, which social portals he submitted articles and news?

Listbuilding?

PPC campaigne?

He had a link wheel?
Psoting his news/blogposts, article to google news???

Thats the right questions about to make 8000 visitors a day raffic, but target traffic. Its true that social traffic not convert with adsense, they dont click, or tehy dont convert with afflilate products.

How he make it, to become this sum of traffic every month???

regards
marco

Not bad, I’m 20 and making around $4000 a month with Adsense. Best advertising program ever.

Thanks for this information, it is tough sometimes to convince people that it is worth the effort to create good blog content. I wonder since this information is a few years old is there an update, are you still making profits in this range? Let us know if you get a chance, Thanks

We can assume from this article that cell phones are a profitable niche. However, it might not be as popular these days with the bad economy.

Ad Sense is tough because getting traffic is tough. The keyword research tools are often misleading.

If he’s making $5000 a month then it’s time to move out.

Sure, Google Adsense is profitable if you can get at least 1000 unique visitors a day. If 8000 unique visitors produce 5000 dollars then 4000 would produce 2500. dollars a month. 2000 unique visitors a day would make 1,250. Finally 1000 visitors a day would produce 625 dollars a month. Of course, I’m using cell phones as the product. Other products would give different results.

It is always inspiring to see a young man succeed. I see that Jon has being active since at least 2003, and, he was and is following his passion, which happens to be a very profitable niche.

Thank you for the lessons.

Thanks jon this is really inspirational for me you hit on key things I’ve been saying to my wife for years. As w/ any career or hobby you gotta stick w/ it for it to pay off, and get involved in things that interest you and that you have a passion for. She thinks there’s no money to be made on the internet at all, and uses the computer for games only. I dissagree and your proof i don’t believe in getting rich quick but I do believe in hard work. Thanks again

Hi, i’m from Polnad… I earn money via google ad sense to…, not $5000, but about $3000 /month. In Polnad it’s a nice sum.
But…
Google blocks some clicks, becouse theirs reason is spam on my website. My website (not WiCiU.Com)…

“Do you have any particular insights on how to get a site as popular as yours is now?”

Stick with it! There will be low points and high points. You have to keep going through the hard times when there isn’t much traffic (take your knocks).

Thanks for dropping by Jon and explaining the motivations behind your site. I thought it would be more about what you enjoy writing about than actually picking a topic based on potential adword profits.

Do you have any particular insights on how to get a site as popular as yours is now?

I chose mobile phones because I had an interest in them, not because the keywords were so hot. I actually started the site before AdSense existed, so that should tell you something right there.

Also, that article is about six months old so I’ve had a birthday and some direct ad sales that have been on CPM/monthly basis. The income is now more a mix (the AdSense income hasn’t changed, but there are now other types of ads on the site).

Exactly Matt. I believe terms like webhosting are some of the highest paying keywords but of course with that much competition getting a site focused on webhosting high in the search rankings is darn near impossible.

It would probably be a similar case for mobile phones.

I’m not sure though if Jon deliberately chose that topic for the profiteering. I would be more inclined to believe that he had an interest in mobile technology and went and built a blog around it. He kept at it and maybe through in some luck, some PR coverage and bam, instant popularity. Way easier said than done of course.

I thought about your post while driving this afternoon Yaro – and it struck me why Jon’s income could be so good…then I realised how smart he really is.

He has a subject that has high value adwords – so he is earning healthy mony from each click. Pick an obscure topic that people are only paying a few cents for adwords, and the income level would be totally different.

Of course that also places the challenge of his site/blog being found in the crowded marketplace – a feat he has obviously achieved – and he is reaping the rewards!!
