    I've been using it for about 3 years now, making £900-1500 every month. And I don't do much, it just rolls in once you're at the top in google for some stuff... which, of course, I am.

    From your site??

    I do not believe that!

    I have seen your site!!

  • It *is* possible but it's not get rich quick. It's hard work at the start and you will need to do research about SEO. You create a lot of very good, content-rich, well-made websites and update them regularly with targeted marketing and keywords, and eventually you can make money.

    Fairly easy - you need to already have a blog (I use Blogger-it's free) or a website and you can join up with Google for their adsense program - it's easier with Blogger as they own it and the adsense is easy to integrate on your blog in the layout section.
    Good luck with it - Google have just paid me £60 - after over a year!

    one of my sites last month paid me £16 for 90 visitors.....

    and none of them were fraudulent clicks - its just a very high paying niche - the sites rankings are also increasing :D
    £4142.49/ £131,795.91 - 3.14% paid off or only £129,608.80 to go!

    Hi I use Google Adsense on my party site, Before April I was only receiving around £30 per month (but I've been going for nearly 2 years).

    I am now over the £150 for last month but I am receiving around 600 visitors a day.

    That is amazing. It does convey the point that with bit of hard-work it is possible. People often talk about rewarding niche keywords. How can one find out which areas are more rewarding.
  • Thank for all the insides. Apparently if you are on niche or have loads of traffic, you can make decent income out of it.
    ..having it easy.

    According to googles adsense blog, they pay out 68% of revenue the adsense user generates.

    Whilst I take this with a pinch of salt, I always do my research through putting up a quick website and if the money per click is good I will develop the site further.

    A good website will convert at least 4% of traffic into clicks - a bad one less than 1%
