DigitalPoint.com makes $20,000 per month from Google Adsense!

mars guitars · 01-13-2008, 09:00 AM

According to this article:
http://alieneyes.wordpress.com/2006/...-millionaires/

Shawn Hogan, owner of DigitalPoint.com makes at least $10,000 per month from Adsense ads and forum members speculate that he is making at least twice that amount now.

Do we believe that? And how much does iWebTool make? (BTW, I have no problem with these forums making big bucks - they do a good job and deserve it, especially where they offer revenue sharing).

Now I understand why everyone wants to run a forum!

Quote:

Back in January of 2005 the New York Times had an article about AdSense, featuring Shawn Hogan, founder of DigitalPoint. The article states that Mr. Hogan makes $10,000 per month from Google AdSense using a very unique revenue sharing model.

Google pays Digital Point about $10,000 a month, depending on how many people view or click on those ads, said Shawn D. Hogan, the owner and chief technology officer of Digital Point.

Mr. Hogan said he started the revenue-sharing approach in 2004 “as kind of a marketing gimmick.”

“But everyone seemed to think it was a cool idea,” he said. “I saw a lot of other sites doing the same thing maybe six months later.”

DigitalPoint have grown a lot since that article and while Mr. Hogun would not say anything, the DigitalPoint forum members speculate that he is making at least twice that amount now.

even if they earned so much, DP is great source for any webmaster, so it´s owner deserves this money

No idea! Any forum owners like to hazzard a guess? It must have some pretty serious bandwidth and decent servers to cope with that amount of traffic

Resonate · 01-18-2008, 10:05 PM

That was from 3 years ago! Imagine what he is earning now?

There is almost 80,000 registered members on that forum & a huge amount of them are on the forum at any given time.

foottuns · 01-18-2008, 10:39 PM

DP is a bit forum.....is normal to have this kind of earnings.......

So how big do you think a forum must get to to produce a modest living (i.e. so the owner can give up their regular job)? 10,000 members? And how many forums actually get to that stage?
