Ask HN: How much do you make from Adsense?

15 points by cmstoken ↗ HN
I know we usually like to talk about SaaS and mobile apps here on HN but I'm sure there's a number of folks earning serious amount of cash from Adsense.

You don't have to share the details if you don't want to but it would be great if some of you could give us some insight into how much you're earning and maybe even the verticals you're involved in.

Actually not much, but it´s totally a passive income source. A recipe blog, www.delicie.com.br, around US$20,00/month (R$40,00). So far 800 recipes, 10k visitors/months.

AdSense for Content Last Month May 16,982 183 1.08% $0.71 $7.66 $130.12

Swing $30 in off season and $300/month season now for regular website. Basically one small banner ad. Spent 0 on advertising, but took time marketing until this year (Still on free Adword credit $1.00/day - maybe 5-10% traffic).

Most I ever made was about $30,000 in one month back in 2006. I had about 1 million unique visitors that month.

$15k a month. 90% through Adsense. Could make more with AdExchange if hey accept me. Difference of 68/32 vs 80/20 is pretty major.

I am using adsense with youtube only and getting around 5-10$ a month. However nowadays Iam not uploading anything. I've got payment only once since the payout limit is around 87$, but when I got it I've also earned a singing youtube-bonus which payed me a 126$ sum.

I have AdMobs on a couple of free Android apps - motorsport calculators. They make about $20 every 3/4 months, which has come from 6,000 total downloads / 1,200 active installs.
