How I Earned $121k+ From Adsense And $40k+ From Affiliate Marketing
I am fascinated by the success stories of other STM members here.
So I’ll share mine and see what we can do to improve this.
Back in 2008, I started my first programming website and monetize it using Google Adsense. Though I bought it last 2006, it was only until 2008 that I hit my first dollar.
Since 2008, my primary source of traffic on my site is through search engine particularly Google.
Overall, since August 2012, I earned around $121k in Adsense alone excluding other source like BuySellAds and few affiliate products. I cannot retrieve my income from October 2008 to July 2012 ‘cause I used different Adsense account that time.
As a proof, here’s my income:
And here’s my trendcounter.com’s traffic:

Now I have plan to resign on my job as a computer instructor and focus on blogging and CPA marketing. I already applied for 3 months leave before I finally resign.
Beside from this site, I also have other site with traffic that is coming mostly from Philippines. So I won’t include it here.
I am into affiliate marketing since 2008 but not as active until December 2016. I joined Linkshare and able to acquire $40,978.46 so far. What I hate with Linkshare, Shareasale and related affiliate network is (most of them) the limitation to promote products on Adwords. So now, I only earn between $1k and $2k. This `ber month I could expect up to $5k in profit monthly again (I hope so). Most of my income from Linkshare is by sharing the affiliate link on my Facebook page.
Since my focus now is not only for Adsense, I am looking for partner who are knowledgeable enough to monetize this site using CPA marketing or whatever method you have in mind. Let’s talk about revenue/profit sharing privately.
BTW, my site is sourcecodester.com.
PM me if you are interested.
Oh man! Where are the good old MFA (Made For AdSense) days! 
I had network of sites made only to arbitrage traffic with AdSense.
Used to be great until Google updated their algorithms!
Anyway, good luck with finding a partner, there are lot of talented guys on the forums.

All MFA sites are dead by now.
Good thing all my content are unique and not copy/paste from other site. That's why whatever algo updates by Google, my site isn't affected.
Maybe you're earning a lot of money before with your traffic arbitrage site.

Try adding some native monetisation ( Outbrain, Taboola, RevContent )
Also look for other ad partners like Criteo ( high payouts ), Kiosked, The Trade Desk etc..
I'd also suggest to sign up for the following service : www.ezoic.com - they automatically optimize layouts, different ad partners so you get the most revenue out of your website. in return you give a % back to them.
Goodluck !
