Google Adsense Visualized

Please excuse the terrible design elements I really just wanted to graph my Adsense account rather than create something worth hanging on a wall.

I've been playing with Adsense since March 2007 and have found it a great way to earn pocket money. I don't put much effort into making money from it and for the first 6 months I donated 100% to Oxfam.

Here's the key figures charted against each other.

Some sites earn almost nothing with Adsense while others regularly pull in lunch money daily. WTFcostumes my sexy costume blog has recently become a major earner due to the fact that Halloween is closing in. It's SEO isn't perfect but I'm relaying on Google for all my traffic right now. I'm hoping that search traffic will triple soon with Halloween getting closer. But after that it'll soon go back to being a quiet site.

Notice that Clicks vs Earnings is not a perfect mirror. The cost of the click varies greatly day to day and the location of the clicker. Also this is runnign across multiple sites and some sites get much more per click as the content of the site is more advertiser friendly. Or it's more relevant. Ads on this blog due to the word truffle being in the title are all recipe based?! Even If I post about movies and DVD's.

You are forbidden to disclose how much you earn through Adsense so I will say that you could not quit your day job with my Adsense earnings but you could support a smokers habit.
