Leo shared that his 4-month accumulated AdSense income has reached $800. He mentioned in the same comment thread 3 months ago that he got $17 after 23 days.

I’m not sure if all of it was from his OFWTips blog but that sure is a really good amount to reach considering he’s only into blogging in the last 4 months. He has several blogs actually, some of which are really good niches like Entrepinoys Atbp., OFW Business Tips and Entreprenuer Help.

His oldest blog is getting some decent traffic (400 uniques/1,600 pageviews on average) and is actually at 20 something at Pinoy Top Blogs.

The best case on blog monetization I had was with PTB which broke the $100 mark with Adsense on its 4th month, though there were direct ads on it as well.

My other groups blogs like the Urban Blog and the Travel Blog weren’t as lucky though.

Care to share? What’s your most successful blog so far?

ang bangis ng income, sana ako din ;) my adsense income is only $50 / month using my fifteen websites (websites and blogs) .. to generate that income.

Good luck with the blogging guys. My suggestion? Accumulate masses of backlinks, and then you’ll be set.

Uy thanks Yuga, special mention pala ako dito!

There’s no secret actually, I guess the niche that I chose to blog is not yet tapped by other bloggers. This comes as a surprise for me too since I don’t really expect to earn this much. I’m only a newbie and the blog is not really made for adsense.

The site that earns most is http://entrepinoys.blogspot.com followed by the other two sites about entrepreneurship and medical transcription info that earns a few dollars a day.

And all this only for a hobby, killing time and homesickness here in Saudi Arabia.

Btw, ofwbiztips.blogspot.com no longer exist.
