That is huge for me! We'll see if it lasts. Someone probably clicked by mistake. But if I got .36 a day, that would be almost $11 a month! I would be thrilled.

I only have 100 visitors a day. I used to get a few pennies a month but lately I haven't earned anything. It makes me want to take them off if I'm not going to get any benefit.(they are a bit annoying) Thanks Pete. I only have 100 visitors a day.

Once i got to around 500 users is when it started to take off. Then again, it also depends on the topics you're blogging about. Some topics bring higher clicks - and will make you more money. Its just a matter of testing things out and seeing what works for you!

I don't seem to be making anything right now. I must not be doing it right. Could someone tell me how many visitors I need to make anything from adsense? I don’t seem to be making anything right now.

It's a lot of fun to read about why other people are blogging, how they're doing and what they get out of it. I've been blogging for about 8 months now and monetized the site using Adsense ads from the beginning. While my main motivation in blogging was just to write about my own journey in my faith and in personal finance - I also wanted to be making enough money to pay for hosting fees, domain name, etc. When I first started I wasn't making more than a few cents per day, but that quickly went up as my traffic increased. I'm now at a point where I've passed that mystical $5 a day, and am closer to somewhere between $7-10 a day! I never would've guessed I could make that much (from adsense alone) on a personal blog! For me I've found the recipe to success has been: 1. Network with other bloggers in your niche 2. Use social media to interact with people and bring them to your site (like twitter, Stumbleupon) 3. Post a lot, and make it interesting. Thanks for the post Frugal Dad - and for being one of my blogging mentors! :) You posted this while I was gone on vacation, so I just found it now.

I started blogging to help promote my new series of booklets about the music business. So many musicians have powerful talent but not the least idea of how to manage that talent. I post tips, ideas, strategies and inspiration daily at my site. I am hoping for more feedback but trying to not get caught up in numbers. Frugal Dad- you rock! Great post FD.
