I really appreciate the posts, and all the PM's I received. I think I am on the right track. Some of the sites you guys sent me too are awesome, no wonder you get traffic, you are doing a great job. My biggest problem right now is finding the time. I am having a hard time not seeing my family because my free time is spent in the basement, I know it is temporary, but is still sucks. I guess it will just take a little longer than I had hoped, but I do see my impressions going up every day.
I think AdSense is one of these technologies where you either have the knack for it or you don't. It's not something you can just sign up for and expect the dosh to come rolling in. I signed up about a week ago, and so far haven't received any earnings, but then again I haven't had much time to optimize my site. Of course, you also have to have content that people are looking for, and remember that simple things like good META tags and choosing the right ad styles and placement locations can make a big difference. I've seen my site come up high on some Google searches, but they were quite specific so I'm trying to change things so it comes up more often. Google themselves have a great many documents on how to make things work for you, and there's also a lot of information available on the net for free - you don't have to fall for those scams that get you to pay for books, etc that are already freely available.

Its about 4 months back when my finance site made $157 in a day ..I gave a treat to my friends for this.
I think Traffic is the lifeblood of all websites..... besides maybe Great contents might get them back. Lastly offer free stuff....
True, offering something to your visitors will get your more traffic, but I also think it's important to get your visitors involved in the maintainance and upkeep of your site. Get their opinions on what they want the site to feature, maybe a competition for developing a site theme, name, writing articles, etc. If your site offers a paid service then maybe a prize of a free registration, if not then you could always offer your time as payment. Just to gather interest. Also, link sharing and site critiquing are always appreciated, people want to feel their site is worth something, and everyone wants to spread the word. H.
I'm only just getting into building lots of sites but the one I've had for a while regularly makes $2 - $3 dollars a day adsense, sometimes more. I'd say you definitely need to have a product too as I make much more from selling a simple ebook that took me a week to write and sells every day.
I know a friend who received 5000 impressions and earned peanuts. So I guess one need to consentrate on adsense secret before he starts earning real good money.
I have started with such program a few months and still learning. The highest earning that I get so far in one day is around $3 less. Most of the time its less than $1. Well, I need to find a way to gain more traffic...
