Christmas Adsense

golddiggerguy · Nov 23, 2008

Just wondering how well others are doing with sites for Christmas and Adsense?

Not bad when your making $20+ and more a day the closer to Christmas you get

That's really impressive - and the increase seems to just be the traffic at this time of year. Can you share the site's name?

I've just thrown ladies pyjamas together playing on christmas gifts, so I'll see how it does over the next few weeks.

The site is very Christmas related and homes in on it and what you'd expect people would be typing in general rather than any specific item.

What kind of resell value has this kind of revenue site do you think?

Wouldn't sell as it's a nice Christmas box each year

well since the exchange rate is helping too (about $1.46/£1) thats £13/day
so I'd value it at a month long stretch at this rate x 2 years. I guess there's always the chance that sites can disappear from the index, but I'd hang on to it. A nice little annuity around Christmas!

You are in breach of the Adsense T's and C's by discussing anything other than gross revenue figures. If I were you I'd take the spreadsheet. Discuss gross revenue and increase % wise to CTR etc publicly only. If they find you you'll get a wrist slap.

I know the rules of sharing data from Adsense is against the T&C's.

They would if they knew who I were as I haven't posted any sites to which they relate to.

I have now removed just in case!

Thanks for your concern

It would have taken them about 10 seconds to look up your earnings pattern in their database. I wasn't being smart etc - just wanted to help. I frequently want to post my declining CTR figures. It would be far better to say down from x% to y% than down by 40%.

We have a Christmas site - Christmas Traditions, Food, Entertainment and Crafts at Lovely Christmas (UK) that does great at Christmas and then pants for the rest of the year. After we did this one we stopped doing seasonal sites.
