I'm actually thinking about leaving Adsense as the clicks have dropped really fast. I was geetting $7-$10 a month, now I'm looking at about $2 a month.
I haven't made it to $500 per month yet. I'm at about $150 for 2 1/2 months, though. You can make much more than $500 per month, though. I'm not talking black hat, either!
We are ready to make you role models. At least reveal how that is to be done. I own a test, quiz and assessment site Skill Guru I not even averaging $50 per month. I have 400 unique visitors a day.
I make about $600 monthly from AdSense, I hope it will increase the following months. Beginners should learn that content is king !
In current scenario it is difficult to imagine someone making $600 from adsense alone. I have a friend whose site is among alexa 100,000 but can hardly make $250. Until you have some mechanism to click on ads or pay some one to do it
