    To the one guy who replied that he does'nt find earning $700 a month with adsense interesting, lol
    I earn on average $80 - $160 a month, I have worked full time since 1978 and bring home roughly $900 a month take home pay after taxes, so if I made $700 a month from adsense it would mean a GREAT deal to me, it would almost double my living income !

    I have worked as a janitor at the same job and place since 1978. I love it there and plan on working there 20 more years until my retirement at age 65, unless the lord comes before then.

    To me $700 is more than two weeks take home pay, lol
    And that is scrubbing floors, buffing, stripping, mopping, sweeping, and litteraly cleaning crap. I am always glad when I make a couple bucks a day from the internet, because making money from my real job is from working hard physicaly, and working on adsense is working hard mentaly (but a lot more fun)

    Good for you dude. Bless your heart.

    .........

    Now me... I'm a lazy bastage, but I admit it openly. :D If there's a way to do it easy, count me in. If there's a way to make a load of cash legally - I'm probably already there. LOL

    900/month after taxes isnt so bad. If you onlt work 4 hours a day, ou can get another job paying 900 month and have a good reveue stream.

    Bluegill, you have just arrived at dp. I am sure your adsense will start to rise. Keep reading up ;) You'll be the only janitor with a gold bucket.

    to the person who sent me negative rep for this thread,

    i can go to work and earn £200 a day,
    so $700 a month represents less than 2 days wages.

    £$ conversion £400 x 1.9 = $760
    If i lived in India it might be good money.... I Don't ...and it isn't.

    That's fair comment, but surely once you have the adsense set up you can pretty well leave it alone. Then you are earning $700 per month for minimal work - as an hourly rate that has to be worth something surely.

    For me, it's definately worth it, for two different reasons:

    1) I already had a website when I first heard of Google. So I already had the traffic, the "connections", and was already dispensing a considerable amount of effort into updating it anyways. What did I have to lose?

    2) I'm on a student visa in Canada (I'm from Brazil) and I get get a legal job until I get my landed status. So Adsense serves me as some extra cash ;)
