Thread: AdSense Revenue Growth

Poseidon once asked me to help him forecast AdSense revenue growth.

My first thought was "No way! It's impossible! There are too many variables!"

But then I thought... "Over time, the variables somewhat even out."

So, I created this chart of AdSense revenue growth over the last four and half years:

Average Monthly Revenue Growth

• 2004 - 65%
• 2005 - 10%
• 2006 - 7%
• 2007 - 5%
• 2008 -13.26%

These numbers assume that you are working full-time on your sites. I wasn't working full-time on this stuff, but my part-time is pretty equal to most other peoples full-time.

These numbers also assume that you are reinvesting 10 to 20% of profits.



Note: This data was current as of July 2008. I've since sold some of my web properties and AdSense revenue has decreased as a result. This thread was posted in response to a request by z613.

2008 has been a good year, for you.

Any chance of describing the reason of sudden growth in the year 2008?

I got really aggressive about contracting with more and more writers for more and more content building, and I focused my own time on keyword research. I also invested heavily in article marketing.

Nice stats/research there...

I am doing well on adsense...

Build more content. Every new page is an incremental revenue improvement.

Over the last 31 months I have an average monthly growth of 47%
2008 monthly average is 19%

Very few offline businesses have numbers anywhere near that impressive!

Which is impressive!

Still I haven't reached $2xxx/month , though December should be near that.

With 10%/month next year I should be able to reach +$5xxx, but it will be a hard year imho.
