I can set a website, a blog, a page and put adsense on it, but it's completely irrelevant. There's no traffic and nowadays building decent traffic is extremely difficult. You can start a website, promote it in social websites, create youtube videos, you can do whatever you want, but at the end of the day your adsense will show 0 clicks out of a dozen of impressions. At this point having or not having a website is the same...
Then spend some time to learn on how to make more traffic and start a site and work hard. At some point you will start getting good amount of visitors to earn via Adsense.
If you want to earn Online (from AdSense) then for the first 6 months work for nothing in your site. after 6 months you will get result as earning in your AdSense account.
This can be due to non-targeted traffic, low quality content or bad ads placement You need to find out the rootcause and correct it before you can get clicks
So how come when I start a new site I get traffic on my content pages? It's easy to blame everything else, what about starting to take responsability, you'll see it's empowering because then you start to take control.. Whatever..
You go to the marketplace here on DP, get a self update website content driven by a community etc forum etc. Then you only need to worry about the server and optimizing the advert placement only.
You have to use adsense in a way to make money . We are just getting paid on impression . Hardly get clicks But Doing really well . JUST GOOGLE`S PANDA AND PENGUIN IS A BIT PROBLEM .
No you should start a blog, and in that way you can earn without putting efforts in building a whole website.
You mentioned that 0 clicks from dozens of impressions. This is normal. Let's say CTR is 2%, then you need 50 impressions to get 1 click.
