My question is how much can someone make from affiliate marketing using adwords for traffic? Is 100k/month in profit doable? What about 500k/month in profit? yes I am talking dollars.

The above was your question.
Answer: There are companies making 1 or even 4M/month in affiliate business.

Now, have you thought about how much money one needs to spend in order to make 100k or more in profit?

The reason why you’ve seen replies telling you more than you’ve asked about – they felt kind of sorry about you. Or better say worried, and eager to help so you don’t get “blind” (or stop being).

Please understand that I’m not even thinking about offending you. Just grasp that the percentage of failed affiliate marketers is huge, compared to those that use this type of business to pay all their bills.

In regards of the math, Google’s approach is algorithmic, not arithmetic. Forget $10/keyword/month X so and so keywords.

Finally, while more information is kind of gold, until you get your feet wet, forget about making money anywhere except on lottery.

And yes, if you work, do not quit your job until you have some (affiliate based) cash under yourself. That some should be at least your current annual salary. ;)

Take care.
