I just run one web site, so it is not a huge number, ... around $15,000.oo has been made with just AdSense...
Mike
It took 11 months to go from $60 per day to $300, most of that is due to WW world advise and working 50 hours a week on it.
Now I'm going to roll-out 4(2 almost done) new sites before Jan, hope to break $500 by June.
Viva La Adsense!
Unbeknownst to me, is Google supposed to send me a Lobster? Is that what you guys are saying?
Man, I have to go to sleep can't keep my eyes open. Guess I'll be dreaming about Lobster Lunch.

Got lots of ideas from this forum so optomistic about the future...
It appears the big earners are having (lobster?) lunch...
Read "The Millionaire Next Door" for the real answer to that.
Just crossed $70.000
But it's also a lot of expenses, because I travel to fairs and interesting projects to make big reportages about.
Until now, my most far AdSense travel target was 900km distant.
My 2200km journey to spain does not count, because mostly paid by a realtor selling houses there.
With increasing income, I hope to expand my action radius also to other continents.
My main worry is to have this in one Adsense account. Have you considered what you would do if you get the (in)famous canned email from Google saying you are banned? Banned for reasons beyond your understanding but you can't reason with machines anyway and no human ever replies. I have done quite a lot of research lately and this seems to happen a lot. I get the feeling that in maybe 50% of the cases it is well deserved - but the others are just plain innocent. They could have been attacked by competitors hiring some Malaysians to click on their ads for a week or there could be other reasons - but you will never know what hit you and reinstatement is borderline to impossible.
I have studied how to create multiple Adsense accounts. You are not allowed to have more than one, but nothing stops your wife, family, friends, company (companies) from having one account each. That is totally within the TOS. Problem is that Google might secretly tag them as "connected" and shut them down as well with the canned standard email saying the account is connected to a closed down account.
So - if your wife (with another surname as in my case, using another address far away) opens an account, it is necessary to use different ISP's for logging on (so different IP's as well of course), never do any crosslinking between sites, not using the same hosting, not using same DNS (in fact NOTHING in the DNS can be similar), using different OS/browser when logging on and avoiding to log on to both accounts almost simultaneously etc (there are many things to consider here).
I know this is slightly off-thread, but to put it into the thread again: I have recently gone from $100 per month (where I was for years) to $1500 per month, by serious optimizing and adding new sites.
The problem is not to expand this, I've found my method and it works well. It's just a matter of putting in X hours of work per site. The problem is to lower the total dependence on Google, spread the risks.
Have you guys out there thought about what to do if got thrown out with a standard email and no humans ever replying? Would you restart with Yahoo, start all over with another account and try to make it look different (bit late then) - or give up and go back to your normal job.
I think you are right. At the moment, I'm torn between trying to build up my current site and its income to the level I need to live on - I'm on schedule to do this in about a year - or whether to reduce my exposure by starting a new site using a different business model. Of course, I'ld like to do both, but there aren't enough hours in the day.
Having separate Adsense accounts in separate names, etc is, of course, strictly against the TOS - although I've heard that G will grant permission if there is a good case. Clearly this wouldn't help you, since if there is a problem causing one account to be shut down, then they seek out and shut down all related accounts as well. If you keep everytin different: domain, name, location, ISP, IP address, it's hard to imagine they would establish a connection. But both sites could still be affected by a change to the algorithms.

I was dropped in the SERPs from May 2005 to Sept 2005 and that really hurt. My goal is to be doing nothing but work on my site(s) by year's end.
Seeing positive growth is good, and it's all from work and optimizing.
Any serious earner isn't about to disclose a damn thing, that's plain commonsense.
Anyone else offering opinions?...
Total earnings so far? A paltry $1600 since March 05, but since I've learned so much in the last 18 months or so, hopefully my new site will progress much faster.
Only original content in pages not much bigger than the fold.
Try and develop relationships with reputable link development managers that will send related links your way, but don't add more than a couple a week.
Write about what you know about and enjoy writing about. (If a hobby site.)
Check your pages with html validators & link checkers for errors.
Keep an eye on your logs for errors.
Look at the html of your pages. Does content outweigh code?
Have a sitemap.
Use Google's sitemap tool. It's got some good diagnosis stuff, even if it doesn't help in the SERPS. (And it may help to solve the www. / http problem if you're on a Windows server.)
Spell check your pages.
Make a list of key-phrases that you think people will search for, and include them in your pages.
Don't be afraid to walk away from the site for a few weeks, you'll come back refreshed and ready for more.
Don't jump on the affiliate bandwagon when you havn't got much traffic, I find that the conversions aren't as good as adsense.
Get Deep links from relevant sites.
Use Yahoos link: tool to find who links to similair sites, or just search for - your subject "links page" - on Yahoo.
Add more original content.
Adsense $ will always rise!
Rob.
When i Started, 1/day was the goal, then 10/day, now it's 20/day, i hope i can get up to 100/day, that will be a memorable day.

My traffic is totally organic, MSN & Yahoo are my friends at the moment, with Google a close third.
My biggest battle is coming up with fresh content to add - it's easy to get jaded - but today for example I got an interesting e-mail from a visitor to my site, and this led to me writing a Q&A page about a subject I hadn't given too much thought to before. SEO (& adsense) Gold!
It's the old adage about the law of the farm. You'll only see the real results in adsense $ for all your hard work in six months to a years time, those who look for quick fixes and magic solutions will get burned.
Maybe.
droping the income in last 4 months for even up to 4 times!.. &^#@&^!
atm having problem with i got more click, less impressions, higher CTR, higer ECMP.. but up to 3 or 4 times LESS daily income.
bad filter list..? no idea, cuz those "lame" sites are growing like the mushrooms after the rain..
im thinking of reorganizing/redesigning the whole site, and start with charging the advertisers, removing the adsense complety..
we'll see...
