I am new to Adsense and I am already a little skeptical as to how one can make money from it. First thing: I just started yesterday and I got 8 clicks on my ads. Yet, they are reporting no earnings. Does anyone have any thoughts for why that might be?

The second thing: It seems that, based on the research I’ve done, that people only average about 1 cents per click – and in the case of one Google Adsense example – only $4 per 1,000 clicks. So if we use the following parameters:

1. On average, only 10% of people who visit a page actually click on an ad and;
2. You only get 1 cents per click (I’ll take the high example)

If you agree with those premises, then would it be correct to expect that in order to make $10 (1,000 clicks), you have to attract 10,000 visitors to your site? Is that right? If so, how do you make $1,000 a month like some people are claiming? I would be curious if any Adsense money makers out there could enlighten me on how many visitors they average and how making money is possible (there just doesn’t seem to be any good stats out there).

I don’t earn enough on adsense to make it worthwhile. I should probably just drop it altogether. My niche on my personal site isn’t high paying (keywords) so it doesn’t really matter.

I’d like to better understend how the adsense system works. But it seams to me that it is a very difficult way, for the tax departements, to chek all the money exchange it might allow.

Adsensth – the little green fairy of blogging. Seems harmless enough at first…

I get to see AdSense from the other end of the equation. Many of my B2B and Healthcare clients want their ads on the content network of Google Adwords, translate as AdSense. I have found that the trouble is that it takes a lot of work to keep up with the junk sites that have no content but somehow command a $4 click cost. If you have a content driven site that is not consumer oriented AdSense can be a great program, as PPC marketing emerges from new media status and is being more broadly adopted by big business.

On the webmasters end I have not seen the platform to be very good, but with so many advertisers on Google it can be hard to resist. Like a great AdWords account a good AdSense account takes work weeding out the advertisers and types of ads you don’t want. Thank Google for the ability to block… …on both ends of the AdWords/Adsense equation.
