Adsense Money is refered as a free money.
Pay $1000 into my bank account and I'll share the secret of free money. ;)
Most of the time I read in the thread, Adsense Money is refered as a free money.
Where are you reading a threat from? I recommend that you only read webmasterworld forum, there are lots of forums out there that are filled with newbs that don't know what they're talking about.
Adsense is NOT "free money", even though it is much easier to make money with adsense then selling products through affiliate progs in my opinion.
i take care of the website very much, and also think more about what people do on my websites, i am updating them daily.
so how could adsense money be free money.
only thing is that we do what we can do and then leave the things and see how much money pours into my pot.
well i hope to collect lot of money from adsense ads in future
hope the same for all here
We have to update the site with content.
What does that have to do with AdSense, unless you created your site only as an AdSense vehicle?
AdSense wasn't created as a development platform--the basic concept was (and is) to monetize existing Web sites. Don't take my word for that--just read the introduction at [google.com...] which states:
"Google AdSense is for web publishers who want to make more revenue from advertising on their site while maintaining editorial quality."
We promote the site.
See above.
We check the stats and make the changes accordingly.
You can do that, but it isn't a requirement. All you're required to do is slap the code on your pages. It was designed as a "set and forget" package.
We have to take care of TOC.
Why should that be a chore?
We keep on reading different threads and decide our policy.
That's your privilege. It certainly isn't a requirement, and I doubt if more than a tiny percentage of AdSense publishers hang out in forums like this one.
We have to generate traffic.
See point #1.
Bottom line: With AdSense, you shouldn't have to do anything more than add the code to your pages and go about your normal Web publisher's business while the network generates incremental revenues. Anything else is optional. (IMHO, if you need to spend a lot of time fiddling with AdSense, it's possible that your site and AdSense aren't a good match.)

You're missing the point. He meant that you cannot earn money for nothing by pasting a few lines of Adsense code on your site. This is true. Anyone who is making serious money from this or any other program, has spent endless hours studying, developing, promoting, optimizing, analyzing, etc...

I can tell you from personal experience that a publisher can make significant money from AdSense without spending "endless hours studying, developing, promoting, optimizing, analyzing, etc."
If you have a site with intrinsic value and the right audience, you can do what publishers traditionally do (focus on content), and both readers and money will be attracted to your site.
If, on the other hand, you've got to struggle for every dollar you make with AdSense, then it's possible that your site and AdSense aren't a good match. For example, if you have little audience turnover, you might be better off with CPM banner ads. If your topic attracts only low-paying clicks, you're going to have trouble generating significant revenue with AdSense unless you have an enormous amount of traffic. And if you've built a site around AdSense, you're just asking for trouble, because you could find yourself with a worthless collection of Web pages if AdSense revenues drop or you're bumped from the network through no fault of your own.
Since AdSense I can afford additionally a RV, some nice treats for my kids and some gadgets for daddy (dat's me) once in a while.
I have tested AdSense with my existing sites every which way before really going live and supported my decision for inclusion of the AdSense code on user surveys.
Really, I havent's changed a thing on my sites as compared to the time prior to AdSense and I continue to develop my sites FOR MY USERS and thus for long term value.
In this regard AdSense money is entirely free, oh YES SIR!
My family and me are happy and call our RV the Google Mobile ;-), because it is a bonus to the real stuff, the excess of my online efforts. It's another precious free thing besides love, fun and respect in this world...
EVF is this a hypothetical or do you actually just put the code in your pages and hope for the best?
I'm like Adfree: I build my site for users and use AdSense to monetize my pages and traffic. Some pages are on subtopics that attract targeted AdSense ads and high bids; others are on subtopics that are below the AdSense radar.
I've experimented with different AdSense layouts (a process that takes only a few minutes plus uploading time), but that's about it.
BTW, There's nothing unique or clever about this approach: It's no different from what special-interest magazines do. And while it may not be the best approach for everyone, it's how I earn my living.
The more your site is good content, the more it will be a desirable vehicle for quality advertisitng.
The more you 'tweak' the site the less valuable the whole adsense program will be.
"optimizing" is likely to get you more $$ in the short run and less in the long run.

That's true, but you had to do all of the above prior to using adsense in order to generate quality content and high traffic. All this work you put into your site(s) has now put you in a position to reap additional rewards through the adsense program.
This is why I don't agree with the phrase, "money for nothing".
I put adsense on the pages, ban a couple of websites that I don't like and that's it. (I just look after the content full time)
My suggestion for everyone is content, content, content and don't just target Adsense. For me adsense is 120x600, 728x90 ad space and that's it.
If I had other advertisers, which I don't much, it would also reduce the value of their ads.
I'm not complaining because that's the risk I accepted when I signed up for AdSense. I'm just mentioning it because no one else has.
