Online business - Make money with internet

This article was taken from http://www.associateprograms.com/ and I find it interesting to show to all adsense user. It can give you a clear image on how to get your targeted profit with your adsense ads.

Let’s say you have a goal of earning $100,000 a year from AdSense. Is that possible?
Let’s see … $100,000 divided by 365 = $274 a day. So your goal is to produce either:274 pages which earn $1 a day
OR
548 pages which earn 50 cents a day
OR
1096 pages which earn 25 cents a day

The following are hypothetical cases. To earn $1 a day per page, you need, per page…

400 visitors, 5% click-through rate (CTR) and average 5c payout.
Or 200 visitors, 10% CTR and an average 5c payout.
Or 100 visitors, 10% CTR, and an average 10c payout.
Or 100 visitors, 5% CTR, and an average 20c payout.
Or 50 visitors, 10% CTR and 20c average payout.
Or 25 visitors, 20% CTR and 20c average payout.
Or 20 visitors, 10% CTR and 50c average payout.
Or 10 visitors, 20% CTR and 50c average payout.
Or 5 visitors, 20% CTR and $1 average payout.

Let’s assume you choose a goal somewhere around the middle, say aiming for 50 visitors per page and want 274 pages earning $1 a day. You’d need 274 x 50 = 13,700 pageviews a day.

Does that sound too tough? If so, you’d better look for more profitable keywords and ways to improve your click-through rates.

Let’s try a different scenario. You choose more profitable keywords and make your $1 on average per page from, say, 10 visitors. 274 x 10 = 2740 pageviews a day.

That’s looking easier to achieve. If your average visitor sees 3 pages, you now need 913 unique visitors a day.

Is that too tough to achieve in your niche? If so, create two sites, each attracting half that number, 456 unique visitors, a day.

Can’t achieve those click-through rates and payouts? Then you’ll either need more pages on your sites on more niche sites.

Some affiliates have a goal of writing one article a day and building one site a month.

Need a little more help reaching that $100,000 goal? Add affiliate commissions into the equation. Add a newsletter for repeat sales.

Choose the goal which best matches your site or sites.

Then start building keyword-rich pages containing well researched, profitable keywords, and get lots of high quality links to your site.

About the author : Allan Gardyne. Earning a good living from affiliate programs since 1998.

I am thinking most of bloggers use adsense as their may to earn money. But actually there are a few pay per click programs outside there thats also good and can make a lot of money by placing their ads at your blog. Maybe they can be used if you got banned by adsense since you can place a few types of pay per click affiliates like this in a page.

Here I listed a few types of the best pay per click program around:

- Google Adsense - You can see google adsense around this page. Thats how it looks like. Customizable to suit your site.

- Clicksor - Almost similar to adsense. Pays up to 70% of the clicks revenue generated and it provides real time stats and forthnightly payment schedule

- TargetPoint - Generate content relevant, revenue evaluate ads. You are guaranteed to get 60% of your clicks revenue.

- Adbrite - Not like others, you can set your own ad rates and approve or reject every ads purchased for your site.

- Bidvertiser - Also looks similar to adsense but you need to pay $10 to activate it. (maybe thats why less people use this program) .

You can try them out for a different site. Who knows you might found a new income method and double your income.
