Most people that go to my site don't click on my ads. I'm sure when I get listed in google it will get better. gifstop.com
Actually, I drove traffic to my other ads on my site but I sitll got about $700 from AdSense. I think the idea is do not think about making money on AdSense when you drive traffic to your site. AdSense will be a good thing if something good is already going on on your site.
i only make $25 a month from my http://www.onlinemoneymakin.com/blog , as you can see i only have one adsense widget installed. It's a little bonus
Earlier I also depended a lot on adsense. It was giving me around $600 per month from 8-10 websites. But then they closed my account saying there were some repeated clicks from a particular IP. The fact is my competitors did this. They kept clicking the ads on my website daily. I earned some good amount but then the account was locked without my fault. So, be careful.
