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?

This is the seventh article in a series I called “Blog Profit”. These articles outline strategies that every blogger looking at making cash from their blogs must know. These articles are a good starting point. While I wont grab your hand and walk you down the path of making money online, a good foundation is crucial. Here, I try to help you lay down your own foundation.
In this article I will point out plug-ins that will make it possible to be paid online. You may wonder, get paid for what? Well, just get paid by appreciative readers. If you ask for donations you may get some. If you provide useful content or services (like software, e-books, website themes or plug-ins) for free you will get a few donations. Below you will see the PayPal donations plug-ins for WordPress

Before you can generate any income from your blog, you have to know who your readers are. In order to get an idea of who your readers are you must track your blog’s hits or web traffic. Google Analytics (http://analytics.google.com) is a free service that will get you website statistics and enable you to drill down and find much more than how many hits your blog received, but also how people are finding your blog, where they are coming from, what keywords they used and even what browser they are using.
This is the fifth article in a series of articles called Blog Profit. Integrating Google Analytics into any website is easy. Usually, I just get the Google Analytics JavaScript code and toss it in the footer template in whatever theme I use. This is very simple to do, but can get annoying if you keep switching themes. If you find yourself changing your your blog’s theme, having a plug-in that separates the Google Analytics JavaScript code from your theme may save you a few minutes.
I’ve since used a few WordPress Plug-ins to save the Google Analytics code once and for all so I don’t have to re-add it to the footer every time I changed themes.
Some of these Plug-ins promise to add more control over tracking your readers with a simple user interface via the WordPress Admin pages. Knowledge is power, and knowing who your readers are will enable you yo profit from your blog. Below is a list of the most promising Google Analytics Word Press plug-ins:

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.
