    This isn't true.

    The truth is if you continue to work with your site and it does increase your traffic your earnings will increase. Yes, it's slow and the profit doesn't go up quickly, but there's no reason why your earning will flop for no reason at all. Maybe you just don't have enough websites. Try working on one until its stable with traffic, and earning about 100 a month, then start another until you have a network of sites.

    This is what I do and it works for me.

    Also with my sites once they are popular I don't really need to pay much attention to them. I've been gambling with poker all month and didn't even touch any of my sites and I still have a increase of adsense profit. Of course its not much over $30 by the end of the month, but meh.

    But I do believe that google limits profit from sites or even people because I've noticed that without traffic changes one of my sites' will do great and the other will pay barely anything, but then weeks later it switches sites like that.

    Personally, I do not create websites for adsense although I do add adsense to some of my sites since it is free to add. The income from adsense is small but at least there is some pocket change to gain from there. The websites are created for their content.

    I don't find it true. I was already earning more than $200 per month from adsense.

    The problem is that for the same amount of clicks, the earnings keeping dropping...dramatically. So much so that it is an uphill task to increase traffic in order to reach the same amount again.

    Do you guys, see my point.

    The earnings-per-click keeps dropping... so that you have to work hard at increasing the traffic. This is a vicious cycle.

    Whereas for other methods such as product sales. Earnings do not drop with increased traffic. In fact, sales increase with increase traffics.

    in the beginning I had a site with adsense and I was continuesly checking how many clicks I made that day. After some months I was not happy with the result since their was no increase in the amount of clicks. Since than I started to add and add and add pages for different keywords. Result is a big increase of clicks. I am happy with adsense and dissapointed with affiliates. So continue adding pages like hell (of course quality) and the clicks will come.

    I believe you should have many websites running with Google Adsense. Then you can increase you ads clicking at least 50 percent. If you get 2 clicks on one website, you could automatically get 4 clicks in two different websites.

    I know it is hard to work with many different websites at the same time but if you believe on adsense then you should do it somehow.

    Or you move to China and make a website over there. I know that the Chinese click on ads like crazy. If you have a good website you could get at least 20,000 clicks every single day. I am serious about it and not joking.

    I think you can do your website in English. They can read it too.

    Adsense is a good source of income. For now, I am maintaining my $100 monthly income. Not bad.

    I think that debate could continue forever, just like most topics in internet marketing.

    I agree with the posters who said the one who make money with it love it and those who don't, don't.

    If someone's had no success with article marketing or forum marketing, for instance, they might advise that they don't work. But if I were asked, I'd say absolutely they work...because that's what worked for me.

    I think the same is true for Adsense.

    To me, adsense is just another ingredient in the overall picture.... affiliate earnings + PPC earnings + freelance earnings = my 2nd job income. I don't rely on it, or have any expectations of it.

    maybe you're just having a hard time generating a high amount per day that's why you make up this thread...(just guessing).

    mmm.. I don't think AdSense is a waste of time even if I'm using it from only a week... I got paid $1.05 for 1 click and, I mean, it's not bad at all!
    I've not many clicks but this is another story :)

    previously people click out of curiosity but now I believe most of the ads are just the same. I think 8 out 10 we will find it a waste of time just to look at it. so why bother look at one unless we really looking for very very specific things. anyway if we only put one ad block and there are still people click on it why should we put it away. money is still money and it is getting harder and harder now when the competition is getting bigger and bigger.
