It takes a commitment to build the content and traffic over time, and a lot of people I run into just don't have the long-term commitment.

True, it would be interesting to know, certainly I am one of them, just how many already had very successful and well-established websites before AdSense, in fact probably before Google, were unable to monetise them, definitely me, and then when AdSense appeared were immediately able to go into hundreds then thousands of Dollars a month with a simple bolt-on, again definitely me.

I have built many a trade widget niche site over the years yet my two originals still out-earn all the others combined however in defence they were built with specific regions and markets in mind and were never going to be as big traffic sites.
