OP i got caught into your post as I have been reading numerous threads about the subject title. And more and more it seems to be a common post "Making More From Adse-nse". I do believe they are a few that are still making huge money from Adse-se but at best they are "big sites" I believe, but for the most part "GOOOLGE ADS-ENSE" seem to be like
TITS ON A BULL. in my view. With the time spent on a blog to create and Rank, tweak and other development to then by most receiving pennies per site in not Null.

the execption would be the few that have learned to Cr(H)ack GOOOGLE AD-SENSE.
To be honest, myself like the greater percentage make pennies with this USELESS tool for small website ... the time you've probably put into the development of your website .... ROI, In my view would be best spent with other networks.
My lasting comment would be the KEYWORD niche you are targeting is the factor
Adsense seems to be about find a high PAYING keyword and build a site = $$$$. NOT!!! build a site and add adsense = pennies !!!!. MFA (Made For Adsense). my view here
