I don't use adsense at all. zero adsense for me.. never worked for me.. in the celebrity blog I put a teeth whitening and it converts at 1:50, with 50 bucks per sale.. but hardly use them.. The most money comes from companies that contact me and pay me for link spots, hardlinks, or banners. 90% of my mainstream money comes from that.
So far, I keep growing exponentially, started in mid 2010... Wish i could start earlier and could already been doing 10K per month.. for now its only third part of that.. but I keep growing every month, its just a matter of time.. the more blogs I make, the more money I will make.. buy new VPS's, etc..
For example, this last blog I did last week got listed in all the directories and sites I submitted a few days ago, check below:
I do the same with every new blog I make, RINSE and REPEAT... It's just hard work, but pays way better than adult. It's like adult in years 2001-2007.
And as for adult.. I let my adult sites on auto-pilot, make a few blogs from to time to time, submit to thehun, but hardly work more than 1-2 hours per day in adult, but still get some grands from rebills, etc that always help to pay the bills and all the extra money I make in mainstream I can use for whatever I want. I try to put most of the time I have in mainstream now, since adult is fucked. No sense to work like a slave for nothing.
Just my two cents.

This is more or less what I am thinking of doing as well, but just developing the sites and selling them. I totally agree on the adsense part, not that it can't ad up, but with the number of accounts that they are suspending left and right, it is way too rusky...
And I might as well contribute a bit to the thread as well - this is what has been working quite well for me:
on an aged site:
- I find a low competition keyword related to the site's niche
- add a new post, targeting that keyword
- do 100 or so bookmarks with Boookmarkin Demon
- create 20 or so Web 2's with SE Nuke
- blast the heck out of the Web 2 with all I got (article links, profile links, you name it)
- do some contextual links (I use AMR and wordpress blogs that I have in my list)
I see results almost immediately.... Of course, you can outsource all this instead of doing it on your own, then just rinse and repeat. The link-selling is pretty good idea - it can help you recover some costs and make money even if you can't sell the site.
