How much can you earn?

Money earned from AdSense depends on the following factors:

This one is pretty sure. More people coming to your blog means more clicks on advertisements, so more clicks,more money.

2. The visibility of the ads

When you put the AdSense code on your website you have an option of the style of advertisements (large images, small images, text, etc.) and also where to place. The more prominent the advertisements are displayed the more likely they are to be clicked.

3. The topic you are blogging about

The last factor that affects your AdSense income is the topic you are blogging about. It is because advertisers will pay more to be on certain blogs than they will for others.

All these aspects will determine the amount of money you make. Estimating exactly what you will make is quite difficult.

Apparently, many people earn less than this, and some make even more. In fact, it has been estimated that some top AdSense publishers earn abt $2 million per year just from AdSense.
