Four years ago, Roberto Andre Diaz co-founded maestrodelacomputacion.net for the Columbian tech community. Today, the site receives over 150,000 visitors every month and the family business has grown to cover seven other sites.
The team chose to partner with Google AdSense from the very beginning. In Roberto’s opinion, there was “no other ad network that could compare to AdSense in terms of performance, ad quality, monetization opportunity and dynamic ad formats."

Right now, AdSense represents 95% of their advertising earnings. According to Roberto, the impact from AdSense goes beyond revenue alone: "AdSense has paid our college fees and moreover has allowed us to travel to lots of fascinating places and meet people from around the world."
Given memeburn’s readers are broadly dispersed across the world, the dynamic allocation feature in DFP also helps them ensure the ads on their site are relevant to each local market. In addition to using DFP with AdSense for their desktop site, memeburn is partnering with Google in the expansion of their mobile presence, using AdSense exclusively on their mobile site.
Memeburn continues to focus on their existing sites as well as looking to expand their platforms with further sites in the future. They plan to continue partnering with DFP and AdSense to fuel future success. Matthew concludes that “in an era where there is so much digital noise, AdSense provides useful, relevant, quality content. You can’t put a price on that.”
Using combined AdSense and Google Analytics reports, Jorge was surprised to learn that almost 40% of his audience currently come from users located in other countries. He plans to continue with AdSense, as his earnings have allowed him “to invest in new projects and take on more staff when necessary."
Tsuyoshi Doh founded Amo Italia in 2004 after moving to Italy and discovering his passion for the country. The site, which is one of the largest online travel guides for Italy in Japan, offers its users a wealth of information on tourist attractions, local restaurants and things to do across the country.
Not long after he created the site, Tsuyoshi began using AdSense initially just as a way for him to make sure he’d keep adding new content. However, as more users visited his site, he was pleased to see his AdSense revenue increase to the point that it was funding his travel all over Italy to compile new articles and travel information for visitors to his site.
Today, AdSense is a dependable source of income for Tsuyoshi and a key part of the success of Amo Italia. In addition to providing revenue to fund further research trips, AdSense ads have themselves become useful sources of information for visitors to the site. As Tsuyoshi says, “AdSense can offer relevant ads for my website such as hotels, tours and flights and I’m happy that the ads can provide additional
information for visitors.”
Throughout it all, Tsuyoshi has always made sure he keeps a firm focus on providing great content for visitors to Amo Italia. His advice to those thinking about launching a new site - “create a site that’s really enjoyable and has plenty of useful content”.
