As many web site owners know getting paid from Google can take awhile. If you have Google Adsense on your site you need to get $100 in clicks before you get a payout. It took me about two years to get $100 in clicks. The addition of Adsense on a few of my web sites was just an extra way to monetize, as I already had other ways to make money from the sites in place.  If I had created sites just to make money with Adsense then I would have made a little more effort to maximize the site to ensure more clicks. One thing I did learn is that if you can make sites with keywords with a good payout, you can make a lot of money with Adsense. There are other PPC networks that you can try like Bidvertiser or 7 Search, but you might not get ad’s that are relevant to your niche. With the first payout on the way I would like to try to create more site and use Google Adsense as the only method of making money. Once my payment does arrive I will just toss it back into my Google Adwords account and try to make more money with my affiliate offers.
