Some explain.
50 clicks = $1.25 and I bet that's about normal.
Tell me that the over the long haul clicks to a sponsor (mainstream, anything!) won't pay out better?
If I have a visitor to my site I either want him buying my product/service (If I offer one) or one of my sponsors. Those 50 clicks IMO are potentially lost sales. You can argue "well if he clicked the AdSense link he wasn't going to buy from me", but that's not true - perhaps the ad lured him away?
Anyhow, I'd love to hear some reasons people have for using AdSense.

Well I am using it on my mainstream sites because its so simple and I make sites just to get something out of adsense. Simply put some text content on site and integrate adsense into that content and sit back and watch.
And 50 clicks=1.25$ is not normal at all. On my free image hosting site its like 30-40 cents per click average.
On sites with hosting related content you can get like 1$ per click average and its easier than to start own hosting company (at least for me).
Now, maybe I could earn more if I put aff link from hosting companies on my hosting related sites and get paid % of sales but I am happy with adsense.
Altough I can understand why would some hosting company put adsense on their site if that is what are you aiming at
