Adsense makes you rich!
It sure does.
I put an ad at the bottom of each post when viewing a single post (it has since been removed), and check out my awesome earnings
That's right. $0.23. I didn't even make a quarter. I was close though.
Let's do some math. I had these up for about 7 days, making my daily earning about 3.6 cents a day. It'll take 28 days for me to get to $1.00. But I need $100 before being able to get anything. Sneaky sneaky there Google. Now, I'm up to 7.6 years. Let's say a couple people click an ad (the 3.6 cents a day is just from showing them), we can bring that down to an even 7 years. Luckily, after a year of using Adsense on other sites, I already have $30 dollars in my account after a year. We can cut that down 5 years. Or if we want to count $30 / year, 2 years, but I'm not going to count that way.
I'm going to be rich.

It's all about traffic, the more traffic/visitors you have the more click throughs you can get.
And positioning of the ads.
There are lots of people who do make something.
$300-$400 dollars per month is low end. And in South Africa, it's a good salary!
If you have a higher traffic site, you will notice quite a difference!

True. My traffic wasn't much, about 100 uniques and 200 page views a day (only about 100 a day viewed the ad). And the placement was pretty bad. But I did expect maybe a little better than 3 cents a day.
