Mine is Google Adsense. Earnings have been varying since I started in November 2014. Here are earnings so far:

November 2014 - $128
December 2014 - $291
January 2015 - $362
February 2015 -$431
March 2015 - $623

From the present look of things, my April earnings is unlikely to exceed that of March. But I'm anxiously waiting.

This is the Islamic perspective:

Whether or not he caused his own madness, a mad person will not be held responsible for or questioned over anything he does in the state of madness.

If he dies in that state, his fate on the day of judgement will be based on his actions before he went mad. In other words, he will be judged based on his last actions when his mind was still sound.

iv being reading the shit that some low IQ nairalanders have been writing n i kind of ask myself, do they have brains? bcaus as long as Nigeria is concern Buhari has no power whatsover to send PEJ to jail, bcaus the day he will dare make a move then from dat day the country will be shared into two in advance.

Talk is cheap. If she deserves to go to jail, she will go and NOTHING will happen. Again, nothing will happen! So, this is all you can produce with the "brain" you have? I give up.

Nonybb:
If it were Jonathan the Buharist would start shouting Corruption, Corruption. Lets see whether Buhari will ride keke napep

Please don't be silly on a Sunday. So you're still embittered about GMB's victory? My friend, you're on a 4-year long thing (at least).

Orubebe, is that you again?

Austin4lif:
After handing over power to your brother, why will u stay. We are watching u in 6d camera

Don't be silly! Nigerians, not Jega, handed power over to Buhari. Your bitterness over the election results shouldn't prompt you to talk like Orubebe.

It seems someone here doesn't understand simple English. The header clearly states, "preliminary results", which means results based on the earliest results to be collated. The results in that chart are based on the voted counted as of the time the chart was created, and that's why there is no data for some states.

Even those innocent ones won't blame Buhari for their own death. So, why disturb yourself over a baseless rumor? I challenge you to provide convincing proof that Buhari killed them.

He's simply overrated and overhyped... He doesn't deserve this at all

He doesn't deserve an award after playing 100 matches for his country? How many players do you think have achieved that feat? Hate is a killer disease.

If the traffic counter on the Blogger dashboard is the source of your traffic figures, then you may have been looking at exaggerated figures. Use Google Analytics to get your real traffic figures.

I think the mods here are asleep.

Before you apply for Google Adsense, ensure that your blog is content-rich, with all necessary pages put up: about, contact, privacy policy, etc

Keep wasting your time setting questions. You think he's a Nairalander?

First, I think you're too much in a hurry. You created a blog just last month and you want to monetize it now with Adsense? Well, I don't think it will work. You still need to add lots of quality content and work on growing your traffic. That should be your priority for now.

Secondly, I can see your blog isn't focused on one topic. Though the name and header texts suggests your blog is catered to construction, I saw posts on education, real estate, and even general news. Please stand for something.

Finally, to be frank with you, the niche you chose isn't one that attracts much interest. That topic is not one that many Nigerians love to read online. Your first step towards setting up a successful blog is to choose a topic that people read and search online.

This post details profitable blog niches that will quickly attract a huge Nigerian/global audience. Read it, and settle with something better. But please, don't ever consider entertainment and celebrity gist!

Nice one bro

Thanks.

Adele200:
Thanks man, i really appreciate.

You're welcome.

The most converting Adsense ad units are 300 x 250, 336 x 280, and 300 x 600.

Adele200:
I must commend your insightful and analytical post. My question is: what are the best and cost effective SEO secrets to pull traffic to a make money online niche blog? As we all knw this niche is very competitive. My blog @www.easymoneybag.com. Thanks man

Being in the make money online niche myself, I must confess to you that gain traction with SEO is quite difficult. Paid advertising and forum marketing are far more effective methods. To attract attention, you need to be extremely generous with information and transparent in your dealings.

^^^^^ You people like acting silly. Why not create a separate thread for your whacky offer?

darmochy1:
Nice one Mr Abas, you're always on point.

Thanks bro.

No doubt, Google Adsense is one of the easiest and best ways to monetize your blog. I have a high-traffic blog and I started monetizing it with Adsense last November. Here are my monthly earnings since then:

November 2014: $128.61
December 2014: $291.55
January 2015: $361.52
February 2015: $434.74

(Click here to see proof of earnings)

As you can see, the earnings keep increasing by the month. And going by present figures, I'll net at least $530 by the end of March 2015. Presently, I earn $15 - $25 daily (but I earned $31 a few days back).

Now, I want to share with you some of the strategies I've used to increase my Adsense earnings consistently and some things I've learned since I started monetizing with Adsense:

First, traffic matters most. Presently, my blog attracts around 4,500 daily visits and generates about 15,000 daily page views (see the screenshot). Without decent amount of traffic, you won't earn decent income from Adsense.

Second, keep testing different ad placement formats until you get the one that attracts clicks the most. There's no format set in the stone, so you have to keep tweaking to see what works best for your blog. However, be careful not to place too many ads above the fold. Adsense hates this!

Third, link ads rock! I've observed that many Nigerian bloggers put up only banner ad units and ignore text link ad units. Truth is, text link ad units are usually more in line with your content, so they tend to attract lots of clicks. If you've not been using them, you're losing money!

Fourth, increase your page views. The more page views you have, the higher the number of ad clicks you'll generate. Why? Because more page views mean visitors stay on your blog to read multiple pages before leaving. In addition, the more your page views, the lower your clickthrough rate. And the lower your clickthrough rate, the safer you are (because Google Adsense bans accounts with exceptionally high CTR). To increase your page views, use "Related Posts" and "Popular Posts" plugins or widgets.

Fifth, wide ad units attract most clicks. I've observed that the leaderboard that most bloggers place in their blog headers and the skyscraper usually placed in the sidebar don't really attract attention. Why? Because visitors are usually focused on the content area, not the header or sidebar. So, ad units embedded within content attract most clicks.

Sixth, always monitor your Adsense dashboard. When necessary, it gives you hints on what to do to increase your earnings. Also, it sends you warning signals when some things are goung wrong.

Seventh, monitor your traffic with Google Analytics, not the Blogger Dashboard traffic stats. As for the traffic stats on Blogger dashboard, it gives exaggerated traffic reports because it counts visits from bots and search engine spiders as part of your traffic. However, Google Analytics tracks only real human traffic. Why should you monitor your Analytics stats. Let me share this with you: last week, I noticed that my clickthrough rate was getting higher, and I couldn't explain why. I then noticed that the number of page views has reduced. With the help of Google Analytics, I was able to find out the exact date the problem started. And I was able to find the cause of the problem (one silly plugin was making the blog show blank on opera mini, which increased the bounce rate and reduced the number of page views). I quickly deleted the plugin, and things went back to normal.

Eighth, search engine traffic generates most clicks. Why because SEO brings fresh visitors, not repeat visitors who are already "blind" to your ads.

Please note that my blog runs on WordPress, not Blogger. And most of its traffic (95%) comes from search engines (Google majorly). It's solely targeted at Nigerians, and it's less than 2 years old.

Now they are broke, they are using skype why no travel to SA like london.... because buhari's hospital is not there

Even the U.S. president grants interviews on Skype. Wake up bro, this is 21st century. He doesn't have to go everywhere in person. It's obvious you're being infected with Jonathan's backwardness.

Samakus:

It's like you don't know who you're referring to as a scammer. That's Abas Toriola. Google his name before you type rubbish next time

God bless you.
