Our experiment includes setting up a large network of websites in different industries to get a combined revenue of over $30k.

Experiments are great, but you should listen more to what members like EditFast says. There are three types of comments:
  1. Flattering comments. I personally do not see much value in them.
  2. Positive comments, that give you advice of how you can improve your experiment.
  3. Negative comments, that say that you will not succeed. Give it up.
EditFast's comments may indirectly be included in the second category and directly in the third. Personally I would prefer comments in the second and third category.

My own comment is that AdSense should be implemented as contextual ad to a site, that is, ad that is natural on the site. Webmasters may be too critical to ad compared to the average surfer. Sometimes you will note that people that critizise you have the same ad all over their sites. Then you should make it better than they have done it. If they have bad experience, listen to them.

I have worked 20 years as a consultant in the research department of the Central Bank of Norway and three years as Client Service Reporting specialist in Skandia, one of the world's leading unit link providers. Be careful is my advice. There are a lot of spam sites in financial related businesses. In my opinion, you should as a minimum have a good certification to make good financial sites. You do not go to the waiter when you seek medical advice. Do you go to him / her when you seek financial advice? One of my personal favourites is Fisher's link collection.

My own site, MultiFinanceIT is a linkcollection collected since 1995. It gets worse and worse to be included in that collection. Financial sites may pop up daily, but not serious financial (web) companies. You find more information about the site at my blog where you also find more about my background in the lower left corner.

My bolding.

Final remark:
$30,000 a month minimum in adsense revenue. That is not interesting at all. Net income, or even better free cash flow, is the appropriate measure in my veiw.
