Once your site becomes popular you can start charging quite a bit for just advertising. Much more than you would make on adsense. But, I wouldn't doubt that people make 5 times more money than I do at work just with their adsense =)
Alien I guess it depends on how you like to live! Many people in the world live on less than 5.00 a month. And yet others cannot live without their 100,000+ a year salary!
It would be great if I could just work two hours a day and generate an income I can live on. Right now, it's not possible though.
I'm living on internet money but not adsense with adsense still trugling to get to 100$/month with oe main website (blog) and a directory
My question is, what was your way in. Does your sites get 20 million page views a month, or was it the amount of rev you were bring in allowed you to become a premium google partner?
Of course, you can live off the income made on the internet. There are a lot of people that do that. Internet is still fledgling industry and the number of people that will make a living from it in the future will only increase. There are also people making a living off adsense. However, you will find most of these have diversifiedd and are earning from other sources as well.
Well, I have 8 sites running right now and they make me a living. In fact, more than living, a lux life for a 16 yo guy
Am Trying To Earn Some Extra Income While I Do My Part Time Job In A Cybercafe....nothing More Than That
I pay my daily dues from internet money. Adsense is one of the best programs, no doubt. But you have to think some second plans! One thing's for sure: If you're making big money with adsense, means if you got a pretty strong site. So if they ban you, don't worry, you'll still got your site(s). This is what's the most important thing, the site itself, not publisher programs!
