Get rich fast, with Adsense… well maybe not.

I thought I would try something, now that my blog is getting a small amount of trafic, something I never really quit understood: Is it possible to make ANY money with Google Adsense and how much trafic do you actually need?

Currently my blog uses the default WordPress theme, because I like the simplicity of it and because it support pretty much everything. Blogs shouldn’t be about fancy layouts and graphics anyway, they should be about content, something I completely lack. This makes my blog pretty much a standard blog, little or no relevant content and a limited amount of readers, so the perfect setting for testing the income for the average blogger.

It seemed silly to plaster my blog with ads, so I opted for something simple. There’s a small verical ad in the menu on the left and a horizontal ads on each post. This means that there is only ONE ads block on each page. I haven’t yet figured out how Google calculate how much you should be paid, but I believe that it’s a combination of pay per impression and pay per click, where clicks of cause generate the most money for me.

Let’s see if it generate any income for me, my best guess is: “Probable not”, I doubt that my 20 – 100 readers a day will generate anything impressive.
