I can’t give you an exact figure. It’s hard to say, I heard of a few people who made some decent amount, I mean close to $1000 a month, but the majority by far only makes a few bucks a month.
The best way to find out how much you’ll earn is to register, and try out AdSense. Many factors will effect your performance, from the amount of traffic to your ad placement.
On my first year with Adsense I made about $100. On my second year I made $120. My third year was $200, this year I expect $250.
How much have you made with AdSense?

I have been using eBay and PayPal since the 1999 and have seen my share of spam, spoofs, phishing, as well as credit card fraud..
There are people in this world who apparently have a lot of free time, and they use their time in trying to conn Internet users. It is very important to be aware of how to protect yourself when shopping, buying or selling online.
I’ve compiled this list (partially from PayPal’s and eBay’s staff) on how to protect yourself from identity theft:

I don’t know about you, but I didn’t make 1 cent from the Google AdSense Referral program. So, when I got the email today from Google about retiring their AdSense Referral program I was not surprised a bit.
In case you did not get this email from Google, here you go:

As if paying for increasingly pricey Google Ads wasn’t enough, yet again Google has announced a new policy change that will likely prevent you and me from getting the top Ad spots through their AdWords program.
For a long time, the Internet has acted as a leveling force where one person could compete with large corporations for Internet real estate, traffic, sales and ads. The recent Google strategy and vision will definitely have a negative impact in this arena. In the coming weeks, as this strategy is rolled out, Ads will be scored and ranked similarly to web pages. The new strategy relies heavily on the speed of landing pages (landing page load time).

Today I read an article by Darren Rowse on ProBlogger where he discussed 10 steps to guarantee you not to make any money blogging; and what’s better than giving advice on what to avoid rather than what to do?
All advice is good, if you listen. I found his article inspiring and very useful; but I did not like the tone or how it sounded when read. The article sounded too negative and condescending. I am sure this article was written especially to give advice in the form of what not to do, which is just fine. I just prefer advice when it’s positive, when it is about what I need to do to succeed rather what I need not do, people are more receptive to positive advice and positive criticism.
I went ahead and summarized the 10 points this time in the form of what you need to do in order to make more than 14 cents a month with AdSense. I did not agree a 100 percent with everything in Mr. Rowse’s article so I re-wrote these 10 points in my own words and based on my own experience.
