Most Recent Years The Best For Google AdSense Publishers

Google AdSense celebrated their 10th year anniversary in June 2013 and we polled our publishers asking them which year was their best year as an AdSense publisher.

We've been hearing a lot of complaints from publishers over the years about earnings dropping. But according to our poll, most publishers claim their most recent years as their highest earners.

It seems like 2013, which is still underway, has been turing out to be the best for many. 2012 wasn't as great as 2010 and 2011, but they have been much better than the years before.

Google AdSense Earnings By Year

Of course, most of those publishers who did really well early on and didn't do well later on, probably didn't respond to the poll. But at the same time, Google has been earning more on the AdSense side and paying out more in terms of raw dollars, as time goes on.
