    Do not post how much youve actually earned but has Google Adsense been succesful for those of you who use it?

    It has for me :)

    Does it pay your rent if I may ask?

    I make enough that my hosting and several other expeneses are satisfied. It sure helps the ol' paycheck stretch a lot further :)

    No where close to Shawn. But it does cover my hosting bills and puts some extra pocket money for my family.

    AdSense is generating more revenue for me right now than any of the AdSense alternatives, and they don't seem to be gaining ground very quickly.

    I can't say that it's generating "huge revenue", but I don't have the traffic numbers that Shawn has. :rolleyes:

    If you do decide to try AdSense, check out How to Make More Money with Google AdSense. :)

    AdSense is so easy and simple. It beats the pants off of commision junction, that is for sure.

    I use CommissionJunction for three purposes:

    1. Keyword stuffing.
    2. Free graphics.
    3. Additional revenue.

    Possibly in that order too. :D

    CJ pays me about $2/day. That doesn't quite qualify as "beer money"!

    Well someone should point out that CJ is not a competitor to AdSense. CJ is just a management system for hundreds of affiliate programs. That being said, I make more from CJ (well specifically eBay) than I do from AdSense. And I make about $100/month from Overture via CJ.

    Over the past 2-3 months I've had very good success w/Adsense. I won't be quitting my job anytime soon but its turning into a great source of extra income.

    So Shawn when are you going to publish your "EBay Affiliate Secrets" Ebook? ;)

    Shawn is our hero (well, most of us), but seriously, this is Shawn Hogan

    He is the Mod here, knows quite a bit about a lot of things, is very helpful and has designed the best forum on the web.

    Now, if I could just get him to cut me a check.... :|

    EBay? How does that work? Their affiliate program description on CJ looked *horrible*. <quizzical look>
