Google Adsense income report May 2019

May is over already. Had a lot of new ideas, new concepts and bought a few small sites as well for linkbuilding. But, most important: I broke the previous record of €3.557,98 on Adsense of August 2018. Yes, a new record!

Google Adsense income May 2019:

€4.156,18

The lowest day brought in €101,14 and the highest day brought in €179,12 on Adsense. Compared with the start of this year (january and february were very slow), this is looking really good.

I am not sure what to expect from June. I am happy with €3.000 a month on Adsense but ofcourse aiming for more! I will share my plans with you later this month I hope. Also planning to redesign this blog and post every week on 1 certain day.

Travel affiliate site

Last month I talked about the travel affiliate site I started with a friend. The site is starting to get more views in Google and gets some SEO traffic as well (very little though). But good news on this website as well. We sold our first vacation to Spain! Netting €26,32 from that deal. Affiliate networks in travel are working with ‘touch points’ nowadays. The buyer had 8 of these points so the commission is getting distributed over those websites he searched on. The first sale does give a great rush though. Even if it was a commission of €5,- I would be very happy 🙂 This could be the start of a great earner! And there is no Adsense on this website, which is good. I want to diversify the income a bit.

How did your month go? I appreciate you leaving a comment 🙂

Google Adsense income report April 2019

I am still here! Sorry for the delay but have been very busy with different projects. Totally forgot about my monthly Adsense income report! Here it is.

Google Adsense income April 2019:

€3.131,11

The month started slow but around the 15th of April earnings started to spike and stayed above €100 a day for the rest of the month! Even had my highest day so far on the 22nd of April earning €185,02!

Happy with the months earnings. Hopefully the €100 a day will continue! Will certainly work hard to stay on top of the game.

Travel affiliate site

The travel affiliate site I started with a friend is starting to get rankings in Google. Google Search Console is also showing more impressions in Google for different keywords, which is good. Still no sale but will keep working on it!

For the rest: Not much updates. I am planning to redesign this blog into something more custom. At this moment the default theme is on. Do you have anything you want to see on this blog?

Google Adsense income report March 2019

March brought in better numbers then January and February. After the Google Algorithm update the numbers spiked as you can see in the graph. But a few days after that it faded away again.

Google Adsense income March 2019:

€2.264,98

The spike to €120 was the moment of the Google algorithm update. Too bad it didn’t hold it 🙂 Still, this is a very good month. A break down:

#1 site brought in: €1.354,46

This is roughly 60% of total revenue. Not great, not that bad either. It would be better if the number 1 revenue website would bring in less than 50% of the total revenue. This way I am less depending on that one website.

Average CPC (Cost per Click) of total revenue: €0,076

This is on the low side… I am not sure why it is this low, last year my average was above €0,10 for the whole year. Going to do some research on this and see if I can do anything about it, but I don’t think I can. If you do have any tips, please let me know in the comments.

Plans for April

I started another affiliate site in the construction niche. This is a collab with a friend and we just went live. Got over 20,000 words on the site and now working on getting links. The plan is to get revenue from other sources than just adsense. The travel affiliate site I started in January is going slow. It is online for 2 months now and Google is picking it up, but no revenue yet. I didn’t expect it to go fast though. For the rest of the month I will be working on my existing websites.

Google Adsense Income Report February 2019

February is over and the month flew by. Just 28 days of collecting revenue but revenue was up slightly compared with last month.

Google Adsense income for February 2019:

€1601,33

A bit up compared with last month but still not where I want it to be. At the moment I am working on new sites and bought some small ones again mainly for link building.

The travel affiliate site I started last month is coming along quite nice. The traffic is still very very low but the site is starting to look good. I will share the site later as it is focussed on affiliate income and not Adsense.

Modula WordPress Gallery

On the new travel site I was looking to get a good gallery plugin. After testing different gallery plugins I ended up with the Modula WordPress Gallery. It really works like a charm and just looks very smooth! They also run a free version without much limitations, which is great. If you are looking for a good gallery plugin, Modula might be the one for you 🙂

January is performing slow

January performance so far is not good. If it continues like this I will make around €1000,- this month. Compared with last year January it is still way up, but compared with the average of the last 6 months it is bad… very bad.

January ad revenue

I am not too concerned though. January is normally a slow month. Advertisers are pushing it in December, with January being slow as the follow up month. CPC is really down compared with last month and it started right on the first of January. At the moment I am getting €0,06 – €0,08 on average per click. In good months I am around €0,10 – €0,12. That is a big difference.

Travel niche

Being in the travel niche I know my most busy months are from May till September with my Adsense sites. People don’t book flights or holidays at my site. Well, maybe they do, but not directly through my affiliate offers, they click on Adsense ads. At the moment I am building an affiliate site for the travel niche with a friend of mine. I will do the marketing & SEO, he will do the backend coding. We use a .nl domain for it that I bought for €500,- earlier in 2018. A perfect brandable name that you can easily pronounce.

I talked about starting a site like this before, and I wanted to start it by myself but it just didn’t happen. A few years ago we did another project together and ended up selling it on Flippa for a nice sum, so that was a success. I have confident we can pull this one off as well and our plan is not to sell it, but really build it into a company. I will keep you updated about it once we go live (we plan to go live end of January)

Free AI translation tool

Having one site in French, I hired a translator to translate dutch content into French. Damn, that is expensive for a site that is not really bringing in any revenue (yet). While searching for good translation tools I stumbled upon Deepl.com. This tool is performing really good and uses AI for its translations which means it is constantly improving.

Tech giants Google, Microsoft and Facebook are all applying the lessons of machine learning to translation, but a small company called DeepL has outdone them all and raised the bar for the field.
Its translation tool is just as quick as the outsized competition, but more accurate and nuanced than any we’ve tried.

Google AdSense income report November 2018

The month is over. Not much happened really. I started an affiliate site which is not finished yet. I hope to finish it next week so I can start marketing for it.

Google AdSense income report November 2018;

€1.752,71

Breakdown of my top 5 earners;

Site 1: €1.038,08
Site 2: €314,72
Site 3: €173,29
Site 4: €108,14
Site 5: €43,97

I hoped to reach at least €2.000,- but I didn’t make it. Traffic on my travel sites are down. Its off season. Understandable.
Good thing is my other smaller sites are getting more revenue. I also created a site more than 1 year ago which is picking up traffic lately. It is not yet in my top 5 earners, but will I am planning to work on that site. Could become a stable €100,- + earner I think.

Google AdSense income report July 2018

Last month I broke my record & it was the first month over €1000. The plan was to at least make those €1000 again in July, but things went different. In fact, in the first 15 days of July I was already over €1000!

Google AdSense income report July 2018;

€2.623,73

That’s right, more than double the income of June! I’m still stunned with this amount! Actually it is more than I net with my full time job. July was my top month last year with the first time over €500, but this really blows it away.

Plans

I am not setting any new goals yet. The time is right for my main site (travel niche) so it will slow down again in a few months. We will see what happens. I am working on more sites though, and some others are starting to pick up money too. A break down of my best 5 sites at the moment:

  • Site 1: €2,376,81
  • Site 2: €183,04
  • Site 3: €30,89
  • Site 4: €13,44
  • Site 5: €8,57

AdSense & Affiliate

This is all AdSense money that is coming in. As this is the travel niche I am planning to implement some affiliate links as well. I am not sure how this will work out but I need to try it. Without testing I never know if there is more money on the table. The main website I am working on has some top rankings for keywords, but a lot of keywords are still not in top 3. So there is still room to grow!

I also got some very good domains that need development. I bought them a while ago and they are also in the travel niche. The plan is to go straight to affiliate offers instead of AdSense. These are going to be focussed on selling hotels & flights.

More to come

I feel this is just the beginning. There is potential to at least break €5000 a month and this might just be my new goal! I am also planning to blog here next to my AdSense income reports. Let me know in the comments if you have any questions or feedback!

Google AdSense income September 2017

September went by fast. I finally got time to create a website on a domain i bought last year. It’s an exact match domain for London. My aim is on the travel niche so I will continue creating sites in that area. The London site is coming along nice and soon it will be ready for marketing. I bought the domain for €300,- and the search volume for the term is around 8,000 times a month.

Now, Google AdSense earnings for September;

€427,11

Not bad. The two months before were both record breaking months with both over €500,-. I was expecting in the €300 for this month because holiday season is over. But still over €400,- in passive income, which is good enough!

Focus for this month is on the London site. I hope it will be ready for marketing upcoming week. Also working on a cruise site which is still in development. More about that later 🙂

Investing

I talked about bitcoin in January hitting over $1000. Today Bitcoin is at $4000+ and it looks like it will continue to rise. I did some trades and still hold a small portion. What do you think of Bitcoin? Let me know in the comments.

Google AdSense income July 2017 – New highs!

The Nomar - Income Report

My main site is in the travel niche so I knew this month could be a good one. Traffic on the site went up with the highest day hitting 2,111 visitors (total visitors in July; 47,144).

The Money

AdSense is still the sole income stream on the site. I did get an email from a company wanting me to create a page for their service on a CPA (Cost per Action) structure. I’m not sure if I am going to do this yet… Maybe I do some testing with it in the upcoming month. Will let you know when I do.

AdSense income July 2017

The title did give it away; I got a new record on AdSense! The start of the month went slow, but in the last two weeks earnings went up. The total amount of money made on AdSense in July 2017;

€558,23

Highest day – 31 July 2017 – €26,52
Lowest day – 2 July 2017 – €10,98

AdSense income July 2017 - The Nomar

Comparing with last month at €368,64 this is a very nice improvement. I’m very happy earnings went above €500,-! I understand July was a top month. Hopefully this will continue but I don’t get my hopes up too much.

Motivation

Earnings like this gives me new motivation. I already improved some things on the site and made some interesting new content to it. I am also planning to test affiliate marketing on the site, but I am not sure how to continue with that just yet.

Google AdSense income June 2017

I didn’t work on anything in June. This feels bad to say but its the reality. Damn. The 1000 EUR a month goal at the end of 2017 will be a hard one to crack like this.

Than what did you do? I am looking at charts, charts, charts in the cryptosphere… I know, it is useless, because I am holding a couple of coins which I am no planning to sell for another year. But ok, maybe another post on them later.

Plans for July?

Yes, I have plans to expand my travel site that is generating most of my income on AdSense. Plan is to put a job page on it with job offers. I noticed some interest on that and some people are asking me to link to their travel job offers page (I am not doing that ofcourse). I will have to dig into it and see if its useful to add.

But now, the Google AdSense income for June 2017;

€368,64

Highest day – 26 June 2017 – €21,33
Lowest day – 11 June 2017 – €6,03

Not much of a difference compared to May.

Auto pilot

It looks like this site is running on auto pilot. I didn’t work on it the whole month and it brought in about the same as last month. Ofcourse the site needs work, if I am neglecting it another few months I am sure it will go down in rankings. But for now, this auto income of 300 EUR plus a month is a very nice addition to my normal income.
