TOP 8 ADSENSE EARNERS-BY JOHN COW

The following is a list of the Internet’s eight biggest Google AdSense publishers. The information was compiled from interviews and articles found on the Internet. Whenever possible, I list the source of the information.
I apologize in advance if I missed anyone on the list. If you make more than the people listed, please send me proof of your Google AdSense earnings and I will add you on the next time the list is updated. This is a list of individual site owners - people just like you and me. Big corporate AdSense publishers like AOL are excluded.
1: Markus Frind: PlentyOfFish.com - $300,000 per month
Markus Frind is a local Vancouverite who is turning the online dating world upside down. His site, Plentyoffish.com is the biggest free dating site on the Internet. Plentyoffish.com receives up to 500 million page views per month and make over $10,000 per day for Markus, who runs the site from home.
You think a site this big would be staffed by a hundred people but the only employee that Markus has is his girlfriend, who helps to answer the emails. Markus coded Plenty of Fish all by himself. The site is lean and mean and requires only four servers to handle all that traffic.
Doubts about Makus’s Google earnings were silenced when he posted this $900,000 check from Google. According to Markus’s blog entry, the check represented two months of AdSense earnings.
2: Kevin Rose: Digg.com - $250,000 per month
Kevin Rose started Digg in December of 2004 with just $1000. Today Digg is one of the biggest news sites on the Net, with over 400,000 members and over 200 million page views per month. According to this article from Business week, Digg will make $3 million this year from a combination of Google AdSense and Federated Media ads. Unfortunately, only Mr. Rose and his accountants knows how much came from Google and how much came from Federated Media. I can try to take a guess based on the number of times I have seen a Federated Media ad vs. a Google ad on Digg but, being in Canada, it’s almost 100% Google ads.
Whatever Google’s share of Digg’s $250,000 per month in ad revenues may be, one thing is for sure, it is not small.
3: Jeremy Schoemaker - $140,000 per month
If ever anyone can be considered an Internet marketing superstar, ShoeMoney would be near the top of the list. Jeremy Schoemaker is a search engine marketer who knows how to take advantage of both Google AdSense and AdWords. In the above photo, you see him with the biggest Google AdSense check he has ever received from Google. The income was earned back in the month of August 2005. Since then Mr. Schoemaker has moved to wire transfers. No doubt, he got tired to dealing with the bank tellers when trying to deposit $100K plus checks every month.
Unlike the other Google whores on this list, ShoeMoney, as he likes to be call, does not own just one site. He makes his enormous Google checks using hundreds of sites and thousands of domains.
4: Jason Calacanis: Weblogs, Inc. - $120,000 per month
Before Jason Calacanis sold Weblogs, Inc to AOL for $25 million, he got the network of blogs making over $4,000 a day from Google AdSense. So impressive was his AdSense performance that Google used Weblogs for a case study.
Now that AOL controls Weblogs, you can bet it is making a lot more than a measly $120,000 a month.
5: David Miles Jr. & Kato Leonard - $100,000 per month
According to this Washington Post article, David Miles Jr. and Kato Leonard, claims they make $100,000 a month from their site, Freeweblayouts.net, which gives away designs that people can use on MySpace.
The only problem with the revenue figure is it is not 100% AdSense. Free Web Layouts use other advertising networks in addition to Google. However, with a claimed $100,000 per month in revenues, I am fairly confident that the AdSense portion is higher than our next Google whore.
6: Tim Carter: AskTheBuilder.com - $30,000 per month
Tim Carter is a licensed master plumber and carpenter with his own radio show. He also makes frequent television appearances. He founded AsktheBuilder.com in 1995, The primary focus has been catering to an avid following of fellow builders on the site. According to the Google case study, Mr. Carter did such a good job tweaking the Google ads on his site that it now makes $30,000 a month.
7: Joel Comm - $24,000 per month
Joel Comm is get rich quick guru. He wrote the best selling e-book, What Google Never Told You About Making Money with AdSense. The e-book, along with the website that promotes it has a screen shot of Mr. Comm AdSense earning from November 19, 2005 to December 15, 2005. Whether or not Mr. Comm still makes this much from Google is anybody’s guess.
8: Shawn Hogan – DigitalPoint.com $10,000 per month
Back in January of 2005 the New York Times had an article about AdSense, featuring Shawn Hogan, founder of DigitalPoint. The article states that Mr. Hogan makes $10,000 per month from Google AdSense using a very unique revenue sharing model.
DigitalPoint have grown a lot since that article and while Mr. Hogun would not say anything, the DigitalPoint forum members speculate that he is making at least twice that amount now.

Who Earns the Highest Google Adsense Income?

COURTESY:www.quickonlinetips.com
While your blog loaded with Google adsense ads makes a miserly few dollars over the week, some top Adsense publishers are laughing their way the bank with thousands of adsense dollars per month… Have you often wondered who these top Adsense millionaires to be are?
John Chow has an article listing the top 8 Google Adsense earners. Top of his list is Markus Frind of PlentyOfFish.com, a free online dating site which earns him $300,000 per month. Plentyoffish.com receives up to 500 million page views per month and make over $10,000 per day for Markus, who runs the site from home. Look at his adsense cheque. And you thought dating and romance site were low paying niches due to low priced keywords. The ads there do not even resemble that of a premium adsense publisher.
Second on the list is Kevin Rose of the very popular Digg.com earning huge money with $250,000 per month. Jeremy Shoemaker is a search engine marketer at ShoeMoney who follows with $140,000 per month.
Jason Calacanis of Weblogs, Inc. is earning $120,000 per month. He finally got his network of blogs making over $4,000 a day from Google AdSense. I remember he was making $2000 per day a year back and were on track to earn a million adsense dollars in a year!
Read the article to check out more adsense millionaires. I am sure there are many more top Adsense publishers who chose stay anonymous and quietly stack their millions of dollars in the bank. I wonder how much adsense income tax they pay…

New AdSense Success Story - Jimmy Chen

Not many folks know who Jimmy Chen is, but this up-and-comer is setting up AdSense sites making him $100/month each.
Here are the key things:
* He takes less than a week to make one AdSense site,
* The site makes $100 a month, every month,
* He then forgets about it and goes on with the next!
+ When he wants some extra cash, he flips and sells a site for 10 times the amount. So he makes an easy $1000–$1200 per site!
If you can make one AdSense site that pulls in $100 a month, and do one a week, how many sites will you make? Would you be excited?
The school of thought is to build AdSense sites in quicker succession and follow a certain formula, or a system.
It’s about building static websites that have information that stands the test of time, and cannot die out because it’s not a fad.
When you can build sites like this quickly and cheap, you can do it in volumes and repeat it in any niche. You don’t have to really portray yourself as an expert of the topic, or write the content yourself for that matter.
Jimmy’s private study course shows it all. The AdSense King is detailed and to the dot. And Jimmy is around to answer questions too if you need his help.
If you are into AdSense site building, or want to contemplate another income stream that:
* You can do in your spare time,
* Supplement your current income,
Then I recommend taking up Jimmy’s private study course.

Random Thoughts Of An 8 Figure Man

I don’t promote porn - in spite of it generating more revenue than Hollywood does each year.
But I know someone who used to - and - he was no small time player. In fact, he was playing to the tune of 8 Figures a year - before his conscience (and children) got the better of him.
So he turned his traffic generation skills to adsense and created a whole new empire there.
He’s a great business mind, and an entertaining writer, you should check out the

I Am A Google Adsense Millionaire

I Am A Google Adsense Millionaire
Well maybe not a millionaire…maybe more like a several thousandaire. Like $3,000 plus a month, just from little old Google Adsense. Whouda thought that those little ads for antique military combat boots would be worth so much? Who cares that they aren’t targeted? They work. Don’t believe me? Take a look at my console screenshot. Read it and weep. I’M RICH BEEYATCH!
Ok, I am lying. I think maybe I have made like $94 in the year that I have run AdSense. But it is pretty fun to lie about my earnings and post doctored screen shots, and to get everyone all fired up about the potential of running contextual ads on their sites and raking in the cash. “You too can be rich, if you only read my site, and buy my book, and listen to my tales of pulling in huge checks all for doing nothing!”
Every day there seems to be another toolbox that pops up out of nowhere and spins wild tales of AdSense riches. Citing Google’s TOS, the conveniently claim that there is no way to really prove it, since they can’t publish the metrics…so, you’ll just have to take their word for it. And then they throw in the obligatory console screenshot to back it all up and induce some forced “oooh’s” and “aaah’s” from the peanut gallery. Gag me.
It took me 45 seconds to whip up that fake screen. I am calling bullshit on guys like this. I don’t buy it. Call me jealous, call me skeptic, call me whatever…but I am not going for it. When a company that has 75 some-odd targeted blogs, and a working staff, is happy to pull down $1,000 per day on Adsense, I am not ready to hop on the $15,000/month from three sites bandwagon just yet.
Hey, maybe it is legit. I am not calling him an outright liar, or a shill for Google, or an idiot…but I am all set with guys like this and stories like these. I throw Adsense on my site so that every year I can be surprised with a random $100 check…not to get rich. And that works for me

18 Jul 2005 ... Well maybe not a millionaire...maybe more like a several thousandaire. Like $3000 plus a month, just from little old Google Adsense.

Interview with Markus Frind - AdSense Millionaire [WorkHappy.net]

Interview with Markus Frind - AdSense Millionaire
Markus Frind runs a free online dating site called PlentyOfFish.com and he rocked the Internet world this week when he posted a photo of his latest Google AdSense check for nearly $1 million CAD.
It was a check for 2 months because the first check they sent was so big it was rejected by his bank. (I hate it when that happens.)
I asked Markus to share a few thoughts with us, and he was kind enough to oblige.
You're a one-man show running a very successful dating site. Tell us how you got started. 

Back in 2001 after my birthday someone in the office introduced me to online dating sites. I went back to my desk and checked out udate.com and kiss.com and lavalife/web personals. I was bored and I wanted to chat with people. I was really annoyed when I found out you had to pay for everything, I ended up telling the girl who introduced me to the sites that I could do better and make them for free, so I went and registered Plentyoffish.com. All I ever ended up doing was creating an index page and forgot about it. Fast forward to 2003... [Find the rest of Markus' answer over on his blog]

Your site, if you'll forgive me, isn't terribly attractive, it isn't "web 2.0" it isn't even a terribly original idea. Many entrepreneurs today think that without those ingredients in the recipe, they'll never make it. You've clearly proved otherwise. What's your secret and what are your thoughts about what it takes to be successful?

To many people assume an "original idea" is just something that looks visually different then others. I created the first real free dating and the first one that actually worked. Just like Google created the first real search engine that worked. There is no such thing as a secret. When I came home from work I sat down and I forced myself to code for a hour or 2. The enemy was thinking, whenever I paused or started to think I would force myself to type something, its amazing how much you can get done when you just type. There are only 1000 or so sites in the world with massive traffic, and of those mine is the only one that is run by a single person. It's not possible for thousands of people to be as successful as me. For being successful in building sites you need to give something to the surfer faster or better or both. If you want to do pay per click, you just need to be good at picking words to bid on. For that business its just a matter of repetition and fighting boredom. At the end of the day you just need to sit down and DO it. Most people don't.

You've obviously done a brilliant job marketing the site because you have some insane traffic numbers. What do you feel has been your most successful marketing move and why?

It was all viral. My best move was not going out and spending a ton of money, with online dating you need to spend $6.00 for every free member, and most of those leave on the first day and the few that do become active don't stay more than 3 months. So 30% of your membership is turned over per month. There is no way you can make your money back. The site went ballistic in Canada all on its own I really didn't have to do anything.

What has been your least successful marketing effort? Why wasn't it successful?
Radio, too expensive, too hard to buy your way into markets. Yahoo, Match.com and Eharmony and Lavalife are each spending $10 million a month on marketing. How can you even come close to competing with them?

Can you share some of your favorite sources of inspiration and ideas? (e.g. certain blogs/books/magazines)
Never bothered reading books, magazines Just started reading blogs lately outside the dating world. For the most part I treated it as a video game, and defeat isn't an option you just find some way to win.

Any parting advice for other entrepreneurs trying to gain success with AdSense or other "eyeball/traffic"-oriented ventures?

Google pays out $500 million a quarter to AdSense users. That money is going somewhere, and if you look at the top 1000 sites not a hell of a lot of them have AdSense. Statistically speaking those sites that have low numbers of users and high EPC [Earnings Per Click] will make the most money. Build sites that no one else has done before, stuff only goes viral the first 1 or 2 times after that you have to buy your way into a market.
