My theory was right. My experiment is a success.
As a recap, I realized that you can potentially earn a lot of money in domaining by advertising in adwords, and monetizing via ads (I used adsense in my experiment).
I selected relevant keywords and made ad placements in adwords. I chose $0.02 as my maximum (the amount I’m willing to pay to have my ad shown, but I only pay when it is clicked) and had a daily budget of $10. The higher the daily budget, the more frequent the ad will be displayed.
I then added ads to my free sms page and waited. After a day of experiments, here are the results:
AdSense - The amount I earned from advertising (the grey portion is for other sites and should not be included in the experiment's results)
AdWords - the amount I spent for advertising
The income earned is not that high, but it is there.
I have modified the Adwords maximum amount to $0.01. This may result in poorer placement positions, but as long as it gets shown and clicked, the potential for ad income is there, at a lower cost. (continue reading &aquo;)
