Google Adsense - Mainstream question

[Sebring Studios]

So...What does Google Adsense actually pay? They're strangely mysterious about the pay-per-click amount on their sign-up page.

Anybody make any real money with them on a mainstream site?

They pay you some % of full cost, you will never know what %

It varies widely depending on so many factors that they can't publish it.

Mainstream can be trickier than adult but once you have the grasp there's nothing stopping you.

Are you doing informational sites?

7% CTR is pretty good, I would say. I'm getting like half a percent... but it's a blog, maybe that's normal with a blog.

Higher ctr with normal site i belive, depends on ad placement and blending too, but blogs has bad placment often
