    Ok, ive tried alot of stuff and still trying alot of stuff,lol. Its starting to become clear that maybe adsense is the best way to make money online. I read the post from many people claiming to make 100 dollars a day with this. What do you guys think? Thanks

    To me it isn't the best , but the most stable, and I really don't make $100 a day, that's just wishful thinking :)

    Adsense is great advertising sales program, but it's not even close to the best way to make $ online.

    Having your own product or service is the best way to make $.

    Adsense would be the best way to make money online if you have a site thats getting a good few thousand people a day on it.

    But if a site is that good then you will have some affilate program as well making a fair bit of money.

    Site with lots of people is the key.

    It's not the best or the most stable. There is no "best" way to make money online. Different things work for different people.

    Selling your own stuff through e-commerce can be much more profitable, but requires more initial capital.

    By definition, "making money" is producing something of value that others are willing to give you money for in return. Thinking along those lines, I have to agree that selling a valuable and desirable product or service online is the best way to "make money" online.

    You can "get paid" by Adsense, if you have good content, traffic, etc, but I don't think that should be confused with "making money" if you catch my meaning. Adsense is good right now but nobody knows how long it will last. If you structure your income stream mainly on adsense then you are building your house on a foundation of sand, in my opinion.

    Adsense makes me some nice change, but it's only 10% of my overall net earnings. The bulk of my money comes from affiliates -- just ONE affiliate, in fact. Amazon accounts for, oh, 2%. Amazon really doesn't do much for me.

    I've made more money selling layouts and php scripts than I have with adsense. Although I haven't been on adsense very long to get a steady income from it.

    Advertising will be with us for the foreseable future. It was a part of the internet from very early on, and advertising as an integrated part of our culture.

    I don't get this premise that we don't know how Adsense will last. Perhaps you mean you don't know how long it will last as a revenue stream for contentless regeneration sites and the such... But adsense and programs like it, and new avenues of advertising are always going to be around for sites that can deliver potential customers.

    I agree that advertising will always be around. If you re-read my post you'll see that I never argued it wouldn't. I said Adsense, specifically, is good right now but the future of the program is unknown. To think Adsense is infallible and could never be replaced by something better, or even to think that the amount of revenue available through adversiting in general will never decrease is simply short-sighted. Web advertising revenue is highly volatile, no question about it.

    you are 100% right - i agree with you -

    if you do hardware to make your own products instead of getting money from adsense will be better and you will earn more

    This is the ultimate truth

    If people are starting website to make money, then it wont last long (unless you have some really good content which produces great traffic)

    I have used both adsense and affiliate products on my sites and all I can say that adsense is the best and easiest. I have not done well with affiliate programs yet.

    The "best" way to make money online really is relative to whatever is working for you, however, AdSense is a very viable way. When you think about its simplicity, not the algo but how it makes money it is quite remarkable actually.

    At its core anyone who puts content online that others find intersting has the opportunity to make money.
