Make Money Online
Month wasn’t that good, not that bad either. Almost the same as last year. Google Adsense income report for January 2023:
Affiliate income was good at € 472,20 in total. Nothing to complain. In total almost 1.800 euro for the month January.
More updates later.
April was a good Adsense month. I hoped for 2000 euro + and it did. Traffic is picking up. People are going for a holiday again and I can see it in the numbers. The total amount of Adsense income for April:
That is more money than I make with my fulltime offline job (health insurance). So things are looking good. I am also trying some things out with affiliate marketing on my sites. For instance I made a page where people can claim money when their flight is delayed, I get € 28 per referral if it is approved. Had 1 so far in april, lets see how that goes.
Site 1 – € 1.411,29
Site 2 – € 375,59
Site 3 – € 199,87
Site number 3 is in transport, the rest is in travel. Yesterday this site did € 15,84 so it looks like this can become a decent earner as well. If this becomes stable at € 15,00 a day, it would bring in a nice € 450,00 a month. Going to work for that. Plan is to get some new pages, blogposts and links online in May.
I started an affiliate site on a great domain (a .nl domain). I bought it last year for something around € 1.200,00 and made a simple site on it (free theme, wordpress). I did some linkbuilding, got some traffic and SE rankings, made 3 affiliate sales and listed it for sale. This was 4 months later. Put a BIN (Buy it now) up for € 4.800,00 and it was sold within 2 days for the BIN price. Good extra money but maybe I could have gotten more out of it. Ahh well, good sale nevertheless.
November went by fast. Didn’t happen much. I sold my first French domain. Bought it on a domain auction website for expired domains. Price I paid was € 50,00 and I sold it for € 750,00. Minus the 9% fee from dan.com I made a nice profit of € 618,32 (€ 668,32 – € 50,00).
The adsense income for November was a bit up compared with last month. For November I made:
Good enough! Hope to break € 1.000,00 this month again but not sure that will happen. Working on some new sites, one of them is a currency convert website. Just a simple tool site where people can convert one currency to another. Not sure if this is going to be a focus site or something I will sell in the near future.
The travel sites are still getting minimal traffic. I really hope this vaccin will be here in Q1 of 2021 so people can travel again in summer 2021. Would be interesting to see how that works out.
How are you guys doing?
Another month went by and the travel niche is still in trouble. As airlines and travel companies are picking business up again the revenue in June was the lowest in the last 12 months. Total AdSense income for June 2020:
Still a very nice extra income for me, but compared what I used to earn before the crisis this is demotivating. It looks like traffic is going up a bit again and from the first of July more airlines and travel companies are picking up business again. I hope we had the bottom in June and can look forward in July. My expectation for July is to hit €1.000,00 on AdSense again.
My suitcase affiliate site got a few sales again in the last 2 weeks of June bringing in €57,76. I hope next month this site will bring in €100,00 for the month.
With a friend I am also working on a new converter website. Development was none for a couple of months due to the crisis but it looks like we are going to finish it soon and it will be up and running. Will keep you updated and might even reveal the website once it is live.
As the declining revenue is not really motivation I am going to continue build on my online empire. I am also working on a big airport website (international) that I might reveal later. Just keep it going and I am sure better times are ahead!
Like I mentioned in a previous post; January is a slow month unfortunately. Traffic is down, clicks are down, CPC (cost per click) is down.

Finally, another site is live. It is an affiliate travel site I started with a good friend of mine. I know him for over 10 years now and we did other projects together before. The site is listing good travel deals to Spain. We will earn between 2% – 8% on a sale. We got the site up and running on January 21. Had a few clicks on links, but no sale yet. Hopefully we get our first sale in February. Would be awesome!
I hold a file with ideas and plans what to execute. The list is really growing to big. I also eliminated a lot of domains that are just collecting dust. I want to create a few new sites in the travel niche, but also out of the travel niche. Not sure what to start with yet.
I hired a translator to translate text into Italian and Spanish. I want to set up a niche travel site in both languages, just to try some things out. Will keep you updated as I hope to get them live in February
I did buy a couple of sites in the end of 2018. I didn’t inform you guys yet how they are performing. In an upcoming post this month I will talk about it. I did pay a bit too much for the sites, but I will show everything in an upcoming post.
I am still looking to buy more quality sites that are bringing in revenue on Adsense or through affiliates. But it is hard to find them.
Last year my goal was to make at least €1000,- a month. For this year my goal will be to reach €5000,- a month and stay above it. I know this is an ambitious goal but online; everything is possible.
February is over already. As you might have noticed the last few months, I didn’t work much on my sites. I just started to update my main site again last week and know I have to continue doing this or I will lose the rankings.
AdSense income for February 2018;
Just a bit over the money earned in January. I’m not giving up. My main goal of €1000,- a month from AdSense still stands…
Hope I can surprise you soon with some real developments 🙂
Last month I had my first month over €100,-. June brought in almost €150 which is great. The AdSense income in July is even better. The main site I am focussing on is getting more traffic. Traffic is around 350 uniques a day generating over 1,000 pageviews.
Google AdSense income July
Yep, over €200,- which is getting me real excited. I didn’t expect to hit €200,- this month because the start of the month was a bit slow. Out of this revenue, €180 is from my main site. The site is in the travel niche which is HOT right now (holiday season). I think the revenue will go down in the winter months for this site but I am not sure. We will find out.
August looks good so far. I think I will reach the €200,- again with holiday season going strong. I need to set up more sites to make more money. I am currently at the #2 spot in google.nl so I guess I am peaking right now with this site.
New AdSense Goal
Goals will help you to stay on track. When I reached €100,- in June it really felt great. My new goal will be €500 a month. The €231,06 is already a very nice extra to receive next to my full-time job, but €500,- a month will be really nice. I hope to reach the goal by the end of 2016. In December I should be earning €500,- a month on Google AdSense.
Blog
The traffic here is very slowly going up a bit. I am planning to change the theme and get more stuff online for you. If you have any suggestions, please let me know in the comments.
A few weeks ago I started using Google AdSense Page-level ads on one of my niche blogs. The ads were running for two weeks and just got 2 clicks resulting in €0,47 AdSense revenue. The average of clicks a day is around 20 now, so the CTR is really low for these Page-level ads. I decided to quite AdSense Page-level ads for now.
Google Rankings
While reading my older post about using AdSense Page-level ads I state that the site is getting 100 uniques a day. Well, things has changed in last couple of weeks. The site was getting up to 400 uniques a day last week. I was ranking on #3 in google.nl for one of the keywords I was aiming for. A great success and the site was bringing in some extra AdSense money. But, this success didn’t last long. Just a few days ago Google put me back at #8… Bye bye traffic. The site is back at 100 uniques a day now.
Potential
My site was on #3 for about 1 week and I saw the potential of this rank. I am not sure why I am put back at #8 after one week. I even got one very related strong backlink from quite a big site. At least I know the potential of this rank and I will work to get it back. I did a due diligence on the number 1 and 2 and they don’t seem that strong. The backlinks they have are not super related and not from very high profile websites. I think I can beat them but it will take some time.
Google AdSense revenue
The AdSense revenue for June is setting a new record again. When I got that #3 position for my niche site the average AdSense revenue was around €5,- a day. Unfortunately the site is now at #8 and bringing in €1 or €2 a day. If I am able to push the site to the number 1 position, I guess the AdSense revenue will be around €10,- a day.
Last week I decided to put up some Google AdSense ads on the neglected creditcard site I started 2 years ago. In the past I have been earning a decent amount with Google AdSense. Some months were over €500,- which is a nice extra. But I am starting at zero again. The ads are online for a little over a week now and in the image below you see the results of the last 7 days.
A bit over €1,50 in the last 7 days. Makes an average of €6,- a month. Not something to brag about… As I am back with new motivation and putting in hours again to create new content and links I expect the earnings to climb.
Google AdSense Goal
I just came up with a new goal of earning €100,- monthly with Google AdSense in the month of April. That gives me a full two months to do whatever it takes to make that €100,- in April just on Google AdSense. After this I will set a new goal, but lets first see if I can make it to this one!
If any of you is starting with Google AdSense and has some questions, please ask me in the comments and I will be happy trying to help you out.
