Should Adsense have a cap? ;)

    I dont need too much serious replies.

    Many of the people here flame me for having a small critic about the coop, or love me for a single small feedback thingie. Many people here seem to dream about first page results. But still when I see the coop link descriptions, I often wonder if people even search for that. :)

    I know, you could check out Overture. I once did, and got number #1. I thought it was a silly keyword, but Overture promised me 30 daily visitors. At the end of the day, not even 3-4 visitors a day for the keyword. :p

    So I wonder, what do you expect to get once your work (the coop :p) is done? How many visitors are you aiming for? How many of you really expect to get an adsense check monthly? (I do, but it takes me a fulltime job :p) How many think they can become as good as Shawn once they read and fullfilled every thread in this forum? :)

    Thats basicly it. Just interested. How rich do you think #1 will make you?

    Brings me for another question as well... What is your goal overal?
    I know for me, its my addiction. I just want more.. If I am number 1, I take a new keyword. If a site gets #1 easily, I make another website. I just am addicted. Nobody told me that Adsense has a cap, but I certainly hope so, because at first I tried to get a check monthly, that was my goal. But now I got that, I want enough to not have to work anymore ($2000 adsense only) but I bet, that once I made that, I probably just want.... more....$2000 from only one site. $2000 per week... $2000 per day.. etc.

    It isnt even the money. I need a SE #1 more to be satisfied, than I need money. I can pay my bills for the next 3 months, so its not that I desperately need the money. I would still do all of this for free. Just....to...feed...my...addiction ;)

    No one said Shawn is good at anything. :)

    There are very few keywords (that I know of) that will make you rich in itself. I often look around, and it seems like very few people really look beyond the rankings. Search engine ranking is such a tiny part of the "master plan" (for me anyway) that I could rank #1,000 for anything and wouldn't stress much. Search engine rankings are more for bragging rights than anything else (and a fun hobby to see if you can do it or not). :)

    Also, you should check [/thread]this thread to see what people are striving for. :)

    All of them.


    I'll never be a tenth as good as Sean is at what he does. He's creative and he's intelligent and he's a coder.

    But... I'm a writer. I will achieve success through a different path.

    Also, you won't learn nearly as much reading the forums as you will contributing to the forums.


    It's not one keyword that you have to win, it's thousands of them.

    I want to be able to create a meme all by myself, with a Unix script.


    Accepting that you have a problem is the first step towards recovery.

    But hell, who wants to recover?
