    After how months do you call it quit when your website doesn't make the money you expect from it. Do you keep working on it or you call it quit and move on to the next thing?

    You keep working on it, but you work harder :)

    Seriously, though, if you honestly have done all you can, I'd advice keeping it up for two months. If after that you aren't seeing a steady traffic increase and have no more ideas on how to improve, then it might be time... but only if you don't have an audience of greater than fifty to a hundred unique hits.

    The buzz word here is "expect". You always expect your website to make more money that you get. Maybe you have to lower your expectations and be satisfied with what you are making.

    As long as your website makes you more money that it costs to maintain, I'll say keep it.

    If it's bringing in Adsense money then build another one but something different. However, don't be tempted to buy those templates built with Adsense. Your'e asking for trouble. Better off building your own genuine sites.

    I would not quit, but review what I might have been doing wrong. Then try something new, and see if that brings better results.
    If the site does not bring you costs that you can not handle, keep it!

    I wouldn't quit, I would just put it on the shelf, start a new project and come back to it later. I have quit a couple of websites I had in the pass for the exact same reason and I now regret it.

    I now realise that making money on the internet is a marathon not a sprint and I think if I kept those sites they would be making good money now.

    If after a few months you can't seem to make money from your site, maybe you are just marketing it wrongly, try different approacches of trying to make it profitable.

    Hey,

    I currently have 2 sites. One of them, failed miserably, and one did much better than I thought it would. It has 30-100 unique hits a day, but still no ad renevue. Do I give it up? No, I work harder to gain more traffic.

    Gluck, and work hard :)

    I'm in the same boat as you with one of my websites. The traffic just won't go up and it is perfectly optimized for search engines. With that website, I'm just trying to build links like mad. I'm still writing a couple of articles each week for it, though.
