Never Quit your job for google adsense

1 August 2008 209 views 5 Comments

Google adsense is a boon for many webmasters and bloggers like me. It allows us to monetize small, niche websites like this. I have previously talked about people who have earned million dollars through adsense. However I was really worried after seeing this post as it seems to suggest that making money through adsense is easy. Let me make myself very clear, making money with adsense is NOT at all easy.

I am not saying that you can not make money with adsense. However for that you need some idea, some skill or something else that will set you apart from the othen zillion blogs that are trying the same. Most importantly you will need time. That is what I am trying to do with binarday. That is what tarun, abhishek and madhur are trying to do. So please try to build a good website with some really good content before yo go ahead and leave that job.

There are many more risks associated with adsense. Many webmasters have been thrown out of the programme in the past. Google says that they were thrown out because of wrongdoings. However the webmasters plead guilty. No one knows the truth.

Adsense earnings are known to be highly volatile. I have personally seen my earnings go upto 2000$ in a month and then come down all the way to 1200$.

If you depend on google for your traffic, then the traffic may go away anytime. Google for “google dance” to see what I mean.

Finally I am not saying that you should not take risk. Take risk by all means. However be aware of what you are getting into. The aim of this post is to make you aware of the risk you are taking up.

    I think you meant Not Guilty.

    Nice article, you are absolutely right that the webmasters are at the mercy of Google and you never know what might happen tommo.

    $2000? Wow, just from BinaryDay or from multiple sites? :o

    I agree with you. Making money with Adsense is not easy and most of all quite unpredictable. And with so many blogs coming out and Google also releasing services such as Knol, you never know when your traffic may vanish.

    Yes, I agree, like any market, advertising does fluctuate. One of the best sites I’ve found for making money online is http://www.flixya.com. It’s a social network that offers 100% revenue via Google Adsense. It’s great and continues to grow. Good way to promote your site too.
