Number 12 for one search term, number 24 for another.
Gawd no.
# 12 position brings about 0.005% as much traffic as top 3.
Get to 7 for about 1-5%
24? Might as well be 240.
Not writing much right now because I'm taking some classes, but I'd love to see how this goes. So, I'll participate, but only as a casual observer. Trying to put a bunch of knowledge nuggets in my virtual pocket for when I can get back to it all.
Good Luck Nelle! (or whoever you are. lol.)well, just have some good hubs up - I havent written in months really , but when I looked at my google account I was surprised to find I made 50 more bucks just on my 19 hubs that are out there , keep em out there and don't let writers block get to ya
Thanks Starme! The support here is always so wonderful!
Unfortunately, I was really just getting my feet wet when I had to "take my break." So, I had just gotten to figuring out some higher performers. I have a few hubs with o.k. traffic (for me, not comparable to others), but they aren't earners. But, I do intend to leave them up... what's the point in taking them down? And, I'll get back here eventually. I miss it!
Good luck guys!
And I believe SunSeven admitted to setting this record before me, albeit not on adsense. So we already have at least two people who did it - and you can, too- Nelle Hoxieposted 14 years ago0

I will be studying Misha's techniques but my plan is to get serious in the fall, as I am too busy right now with a full-time job and planning and packing for a move across country. I didn't originally join Hubpages to make money but I will be without a job for awhile after the move so I plan to use that time to study and learn. I'm a total newbie at all of this so it will require some tenacity on my part to get up to speed but I'm going to give it a try.
Ok Nelle ... so having just read Misha's thread - I go and find a highpaying k/word? Write a hub around it - inject longtails into it as I write, tag appropriately with said [main] keyword and associated longtails then promote it like demon. Like push push push, off-page SEO and all that?
As for the return etc I will be candid, I won't fudge numbers, just share the truth- Nelle Hoxieposted 14 years ago0

He-he, ask him personally, he loves to do one on one training sessions
I'd love to join in - I've learnt so much in the last 2 months, and this looks like a good way to learn even more.
Just one question - can we track if a hub has made $100 from Amazon - I didn't think we could track that. And in my experience what your hub is about, isn't necessarily what people buy
Its fine if its just AdSense - I am useless at making money from AdSense so all the more reason to get started learning about it.
Thanks for the thread Nelle - its a great idea.- Nelle Hoxieposted 14 years ago0
Cool, we are getting more people ready to make it!
And yes, I totaly agree to Nelle - you don't share what exactly hub makes you that kind of money. At least I don'tYou are an inspiration Misha
I'm definitely having a go at this. I do have some $100 days but they don't happen often enough! I've already got some high volume keywords with an ok CPC to go for. What level of volume do you suggest? The ones I have are around 50 - 70K per month, is that enough?Susana, I definitely do not have a carved in stone number - but I always try to shoot for the highest traffic with a reasonable amount of competition that will allow me to rank well for it. 50-70K searches per month may look promising - or may not, depending on how easy it seems to rank for it. Hope this makes sense.
Yes, I think I know what you mean I reckon I can rank for these, though the CPC is no where near astounding the high traffic should compensate. Was just wondering if 50K a month visitors would be anywhere near enough. Having just done some calculations, if I get at number one and get a CTR of 2% I could earn around $300 per month, so no where near $100 per day.Very good point Susana.Getting 100$ a day from a single hub is possible if you get some decent-paying ads on your hubs.And CTR is very important.In some of my hubs CTRs are as high as 14%.I guess Misha is either getting high value clicks along with good conversion rate or he is getting millions of visitors
Man, I'd be happy to earn $100 a day off all my hubs put together! I'll add myself to the list, though. At the very least, it's a goal to aim for.

Good luck to you guys! If I have more time, I'll take on this challenge someday

Picking a great key word is the most important part. I have many blogs and rank #1 to #3 for many words on Google.
Yet because they are not great key words I don't get much traffic from them. My weakness is not knowing what most people search for.
Because I'm single with no kids and don't follow most fads I fail to grasp what most people search for. Hell I don't even own a TV, never watch it!
I guess I need to study what the masses look for these days. Pick a great key word and your already half way home.- shazwellynposted 14 years ago0
I am always want a learning experience - so count me in - it might be just in a passive way
I am so in.
Nelle and Mish are my inspirations for some time.
Maybe I do not know a lot at the moment. But I am going to study it all up hard, find out the info I need to know and am going to sock my hub to the world lol.
Look out 100 dollars here I come.A $100 a day, I can't even manage a $100 a year.
However, I always enjoy a challenge so why not? Wish me luck, thanks for the mission and I have great faith that you will acheive it Nelle!- Nelle Hoxieposted 14 years ago0
My more realistic target is to make 10,000 dollars from adsense alone in six months ending on December 31st.

I was laying in bed last night working this out (much to the disappointment of my husband, lol) For 50k traffic a month the click value would need to be $4+, working on a CTR of 1.5% (15 clicks per 1000 visitors).
So for 100K traffic per month the click value would need to be $2 to earn $100 per day.
Of course the higher the click value, the less traffic one would need to target.
Hi - Yes real people clicking I haven't mastered the art of getting a high click through. Mine's usually somewhere between 1-8%, though mostly towards the lower end. So for every 1000 page views I average somewhere between 10 - 80 clicks. From what I understand it tends to be non tech/internet savvy people that click the most ads. Also Misha has advised looking for a topic that people are going to want more info on.
I make a lot of money from click bank and affiliate products. Don't forget about these money making tools as you can emplement them on hubpages. I enjoy a check from clickbank every month.
Do more than just hubbing and expand your money making potential.
