OK -- so now I sound like that reverse funnel guy or Jeffery Lant. After all, the great promise of something for nothing is what fuels a lot of the scam artists out there. I am not really interested in talking about "something for nothing." Rather, I want to do some math. Those that know me know that I am an engineer. I do more math before breakfast than most people do all day. So, let's do some AdSense math.
$5000 A Month Is Really Cool
Honestly, I just picked that number because it sounds cool. Who wouldn't want an extra $5000 per month? I mean, if I told you that you could make $5000 a month working only an hour a day, would you do it? Well, that is what I am going to tell you. Of course, there are no guarantees. Your ability to make money on the internet has to do with your abilities and your personal situation. I am not able to promise that you will make money online. You mileage may vary. Not valid in Nevada. You get the idea.
I'll also tell you that the hard part is the traffic. You can trade off click through rate for traffic, so if you think my traffic assumptions are too high, you should know that my CTR is low. If you assume a higher CTR you can use less traffic. You can also use less traffic if you assume higher earnings per click (EPC).
