Given that all the content is legitimate and in a fairly niche topic I'm reasonably happy. $10/day would be about the 'tops' from what I'm currently doing. I'd have to expand out into new topics to get beyond that.
$10/day would put me on a ~15% basic wage ($150/day would be normal)
Your ultimate aim would be to move back to your own or preffered country having saved money and built up a steady income.
I lived off $30 a day in Southeast Asia and still had a comfortable existence.

We'll see if I can listen to their blah, blah, blah, speeches 9 more months. Yeash, nothing puts me more to sleep than corporate executives talking on and on about virtually nothing.

$1K spent on adwords and the 2 paid links per month
alexa 90,000
100,000+ uniques per month, 12 page website
not markus but it pays the bills
Adwords 30,000 visitors, sister site links 30,000, search traffic 30,000, other historical links 10,000, roughly.
Yes I expend $1,000 but my gross is $6,000 without spending it would only be around $2,000, that is an additional $3,000 profit.
It took a while to get up to that, my landing page is so tight and offer so attractive(and real) that I can get Adwords search for 3 cents page one placement and content 1 cent.
I give away something FREE that normally would retail $50.

I am trying 2 others affiliate programs, which sucks, because the click isnt enough to earn something, visitor needs to click on the link and buy something, so then I win a small %. Adsense is the better one. And yes, I not satisfied..lol.. I will keep trying to improve the performance...
The reason to partner Adsense with affiliate programs: Hopefully the affiliate will provide you with some content that would not be available to you otherwise. Or you may choose an affiliate in a field that is interesting to you, so that you can come up with your own content.
Mix affiliate links along with Adsense on the pages. If a visitor buys your affilate merchandise - great, you make money. If the visitor does not buy from you, he could still click on an Adsense ad - great, you make money.
You content is the key to draw visitors from the search engines.
Direct tax rate here is nearly 60% on indivual and around 30% on corporation (they are several other indirect taxes on corporationa as well, such as tax on office space 57euro square meter in my area).
