I am going to do my best to make the $200 per day in 4 months from now..

I do have an "in between" goal of making $100 per day in 2 months... and that may be harder to do than the my 4 month goal... I don't know..?

I will do my best to go for it...I make a pretty good living from the main part of my business, so extra income is really that, a bonus and a goal worth going for... without adsense I would have had to pay the costs of servers and access anyway... So it is a sweat bonus for me...

I do think that the baby steps are important... in my case goal #1 was making $35 per day to cover the costs... and reaching that goal #1 with adnsene revenue was pure sunshine... it made me feel that setting another adsense goal or two may not be out of the question...

"In all that is real" I have to say that "my" adsense income did not drop out of the sky, I worked on the content and on getting traffic from other sites.. I made $0.23 my first month in August 2005... I had one 125 pix button ad on one page then ( a page off of my main website)... because I didn't really think that this adsense thing would work for me...

After awhile I did place ads on other pages to see what would happen... It worked better after I started to pay attention to the personal experiences of other people here that were kind enough to share tips...

I still have as my adsense goal, to make enough from it to pay someone to code my site better... I don't do that well...

I write content in my niche and I write it better than most... Knowing what I talk about and being able to deliver on it has served me very well offline and online over the years.. it may also continue to give me residual income from google adverts from now on... (fingers crossed)...

You have to work to make this opportunity work ... I learnt that here at webmasterforums..

Knocking off a site with the sole intention of making cash from any advertising opportunity doesn't work...
I don't think that advertisers like blind ads.. I don't think that publishers should like blind ads...

In the long run if you have valuable and/or worthwhile content on your website you will have repeat visitors that enjoy your content and want more... That will be the deciding factor in the click from here or stay here and look around... factor that surfers feel everyday...
