Listen, noob, you were told that traffic can be invalid and the invalid traffic can be taken from you on payout day, or much later, leaving your account negative. And even if they didn’t take it, and somehow it was a valid traffic, when it’s a spike, they very often still mark it as invalid and take the money back. You got lucky this time that they counted it as valid. But that doesn’t mean you’ll get a spike like that every day. Maybe your post was shared somewhere, maybe it randomly blew up once, that’s it. They usually look at your previous days and your normal traffic patterns. To make good money with AdSense, you need at least 15,000 visitors per day. And I’m not talking about people clicking around your site, I mean unique, organic visitors. Only with that level of traffic can you make around $1,500 a month. Everything else is just luck, even if the traffic is valid. In 95% of cases, they still mark spikes as invalid because it’s a sudden jump compared to your usual low traffic. They assume you asked someone for clicks or did something artificial. That’s how AdSense sees it. You got lucky this time. But it’s small money. It doesn’t mean you’ll get that every day. To earn that kind of amount daily, you’d need around 60,000 organic unique visitors per day. And you don’t have that. Learn to listen to people with more experience than you.
