Ask HN: How much do you make from Adsense?

I know we usually like to talk about SaaS and mobile apps here on HN but I'm sure there's a number of folks earning serious amount of cash from Adsense.

You don't have to share the details if you don't want to but it would be great if some of you could give us some insight into how much you're earning and maybe even the verticals you're involved in.

I'm running a website with adsense ads as an extra income to my day job. Last month I earned about $1400 on it. Witch definetly is a nice extra income since I'm not spending much time on the site.

Here's a graph over my adsense income the past couple years. http://s3.amazonaws.com/awesome_screenshot/2293121?AWSAccess...

Most I ever made was about $30,000 in one month back in 2006. I had about 1 million unique visitors that month.

I am using adsense with youtube only and getting around 5-10$ a month. However nowadays Iam not uploading anything. I've got payment only once since the payout limit is around 87$, but when I got it I've also earned a singing youtube-bonus which payed me a 126$ sum.

I have AdMobs on a couple of free Android apps - motorsport calculators. They make about $20 every 3/4 months, which has come from 6,000 total downloads / 1,200 active installs.

$15k a month. 90% through Adsense. Could make more with AdExchange if hey accept me. Difference of 68/32 vs 80/20 is pretty major.
