Over $90 In AdSense Earnings Today

I haven’t spent a lot of time trying to make money with AdSense as I think that affiliate marketing is a much easier way to make significant income but over the last couple of days one of my websites has got a huge amount of traffic and I’m seeing some record AdSense earnings (for me.)

One of my sites that normally gets about 500 unique visitors per day got some big time viral links and had over 34,000 UV yesterday (ending at midnight and already another 3,000 in the first 2 hours of the next day) and that site made earned most in AdSense earnings I’ve had today (there’s actually some time left until 3 AM which is when my AdSense day is officially over so I’ve even got an outside shot at $100.)

Now if I had 34,000 unique visitors to some of my affiliate sites I would have made an absolute fortune, of course for most of those sites there’s really not that much traffic available. With the type of site that’s getting this huge amount of UV today, there’s really no affiliate programs I could advertise profitably (I don’t think so anyway.)

Anyway - I’m definitely happy to be making some nice income with AdSense today but I don’t expect this huge traffic spike to last too long. My webhost seems to be able to barely handle it anyway, it’s gone down a couple of times that I know of. Who knows how many UV I’ve missed because of that?
