Wow. What a great thread.

But let's face it: Newbies want to know how much money your sites make! LOL. Since that is obviously inappropriate to ask for or disclose in this or any other context, let me refer Curiosity to a recent issue of Forbes magazine (or was it Fortune?). Anyway, it's the one that has the Google founders on the cover, against a brown-ish background. In the feature story, they discuss a 19-year old webmaster who does quite well with his low-maintenance web site. They provide the URL and the AdSense $/month. As best I can tell from my investigation, the website went up 6 years ago, when the webmaster was 13. The issue is off the racks now, so rush out to your dentist's office and search his waiting room for back issues. I wasn't able to find the story online.

Or, feel free to sticky me for the URL and the AdSense $/month, as I remember it from the magazine.

Not to discount the fantastic information that has been posted in this thread. What other people make is not useful to me at all. Thanks to everyone who provided info to those of us just starting out, who are endeavoring to create a content-rich site for the long haul.
