You need to pump traffic to your website before you can expect to see any returns from adsense .... you will get a couple clicks every here and there, but for heavens sakes man, PUT IT BACK ON !!!
I make as much each month from adsense almost as I do from actual sales of ringtones and games!! NO LIE!!
Making money is not about how pretty your site looks.
If you are in this only as a hobby to kill some time, then may the force be with you, but if your online endeavours are meant to be a viable income source, you are going to have to allow yourself to take direction from those of us in the biz that have been there already ...
Sure adsense may not be the prettiest thing you've ever seen, but it is probably the #1 mainstream affiliate program in the world!! Google has made a whole lot of millionaires with the adsense program, and that would have never happened if the removed them from their sites because they were ugly!
In the next several weeks/months we are going to teach you how to make a confortable living online ... The ball is in your court whether you do anything with it or not is up to you, but once your site is seeing a steady stream of traffic, not having the adsense banners is like pissing away money!
