Such numbers are meaningless anyway, because what you earn or what I earn has no bearing on what Publishers A, B, and C will earn.
You agreed to the Adsense TOS. Stick to what you said you'd do!
You can make a real bundle on adsense. If you do the math you can work it out yourself. But if you have the content. Content is what you need and people have got to be interested in your content. And you need lots of it.
There is no magic solution to making money on the internet and therefore the same applies to Adsense. I, as many here on the forum have been around for a long time. I sat down 4 years ago and thought, and thought, and thought some more. Did my research and came up with an idea that had not been covered on the internet.
12 hours a day for 4 years I worked on the site. I still do 12 hours a day. 2000 pages of reasonable content later Adsense came along.
Do I sit back and say finished. No I am reinvesting the Adsense money to employ freelance writers to make more pages.
The internet is ever changing. Once we had $6 cpm banners, then popups, now adsense.
My website started as a hobby, now it pays the bills, holidays and the car. But is that enough. The money is nice but that is not what drives me, it is a power thing. I once overheard a CEO of a very, very large website say ‘take over the friggin internet’
That is the drive, take over your chosen subject, make your site the best there is. You will never need to worry about the search engines, income or anything. You will find that it all comes to you.
Time and time again this question comes up.
I think this describes 90% of the threads in the Adsense section of WW and your entire post describes 90% of the succesful webmasters in the world.
Excellent post.
Though advertising is not our major source of income, AdSense has been a tremendous boost, by far the best-designed, least intrusive and even potentially useful Internet ad vehicle yet devised. It is also providing funding for more writers, more software, more bandwidth, etc.
The name of the game in publishing is to build a franchise (name recognition, credibility, audience), then defend it against the constant stream of newcomers. As someone once said, showing up every day is the first requirement. Keeping sites current and adding new content on a regular basis is what over time builds a solid franchise.

This is also advice worth listening to. Well said.
And senseable, excellent post.
The others have spent millions to our dimes.
I think that is what drives me. Knowing that I have created something for pennies, when the big boys are spending millions.
I always looked upon the internet as a chance to be a pioneer, bit like the old west in the US. The big boys were in place at the beginning but we all had and have a chance to get in and place our stake in our bit of real estate. The internet is still in it’s infancy. I would like to think I will be sitting on the beach in 10 years.

Very good point. I was able to get a short domain name and I will not rest until it is a household name. It was not that I was lucky, I just created one. I decided not to go down the road of www.buy_something_from_my_shop_because_I_am_trying_to_get_rich.com
So all in all it is not about the money. I rate my current success in dollars and traffic, they are good bench marks.
Oh and about sitting on the beach. Bet you a months Adsense I have a laptop down my shorts.
Just don't think it'll be easy, there is a LOT of smart people out there. But surprisingly (or perhaps not so) they do make mistakes, and the best people are always bad at something. So despite the dense playing field, there are plenty of gaps for new people to squeeze in and fill...
I think in just 3 months I've created something others don't manage in their entire online career, and all I see is space to expand into all around.

High end four figures a month is great, but if it goes one day the sites we do won't fold. As above, I won't be saying dollar figures, as I'm not going to violate TOS.
I'm very new with the internet marketing at all it is my first try after two years creating a web site as a hobbie that I'm considering the possibilitie of get some money from it... and I apreciate all the advice that you are giving because is nice to know that there is people here that likes to share the good secrets.
Belive me .. I'm no going to ask how much do you get every month, how much have you win and what is the quick money secret, I know that to build a good web site is a hard work and you need to spend time and money... I was just trying to put some nice topic, so I apologize for the ones that didn't like it and thanks a lot for all the one that tried to make it positive giving all that good advice.
Peace in the forum,
CS.
Peace in the forum
Peace and prosperity to you too :-)
I know it was a stupid question but I saw a post somebody telling has setted a new record the day after chistmast or soSo the advertisers are paying for people to click to find return information. ouch, that's gotta hurt.
I didn't get the point in your quote about my comment .. I was just meaning that because that post I supposed it could be a nice topic to know everyones records... but the idea of course didn't like.. that simple.
Nothing about advertiser.. clickers ... etc...
CS.
That's a good point :-)
However, I will continue in my struggle against the repressive big boys and knock them off their pedestal very soon... :)

Double the average revenue, slightly increased CTR, same number of impressions as average.
I blame this on some very good content posted today related to Apple (Apple Expo in SF is going on), plus the search on news.google.com for items relates to the CES starting tomorrow in Las Vegas.
Thanks news.google.com, www.google.com and related!
