I'm new to this whole Adsense program
In fact, have never used it

However, I am pondering the inclusion of AdSense in an upcoming project.

I would very much welcome some numbers, if you don't mind sharing?
To protect your privacy, you can ofcourse leave out some info, such as URL

So, anything you can provide:
how much $$$ per month / clickthru, etc. ?
how many visitors / page views ?
anything else you think is relevant?

I can tell you that we've had pretty good luck with AdSense. If you work it in to the site's design they are less intrusive and seem to yield better results. I certainly don't mind doing this as it's another means of income from my site.

The click through rate for us is really decent which could mean:
a) The ads are very targeted and relevent
b) They work really well into the purpose of my site (to send people to other sites)
c) I'm not sure there is a c...hmm...perhaps c could be a and b in which case there is a c. Yep, I'm thinking a and b makes c. So...
c revised) Both a and b

I'm curious to see what other people's input will be here...

Will anyone reply "I earn $x per day" to this question? Maybe one way of finding out would be to run a poll asking people to anonymously say how much they earn. What do you think?

Without wanting to rain on anyones parade, the TOS you agreed to when signing up prohibits discussing pretty much everything you're asking for including revenue, click through rates, impressions etc.

Having said that it obviouslly depends on many factors, such as traffic, demographics, market, integration, creative type, content ...

I personally know of people that are making only pennies with the program, but others that are making thousands a day.

Not sure this will help, but hope it does
