Hi - New here - Adsense Questions

How much can I make?

Hi,
I just joined. I found this site on a search for Adsense tips. I joined Adsense about 6 months ago and didn't think anything of optimizing etc.-- just put some ads up and left them alone. I made about $100 a month, which I was really happy with. Recently I decided to find out more about it...

Now I'm learning more and playing around with placement, type, color, etc. In the last few days I've seen a big increase in earnings, which is good (I hope it lasts).

I've been reading the forums and find them useful-- and some very inspiring. I like the fact that most people are helpful, unlike some boards.

I guess my biggest question is, is it possible to be making a lot more with Google ads? Like $100 a day or more?

I'm just running 1 website, but it's ranked well for its keywords. It has about 250 pages, mostly articles and content created by me.
I don't own tons of websites or thousands of pages... what is a realistic goal? How much could I really make with Google AS?

What's the most important thing for me to do? Work hard and write new articles etc.? Or work on link exchanges to bring in more visitors? Or keep playing with the ads (and how long is best to wait between changes)?

Thanks so much!
