Yeah i implemented Adsense on my forums, although i don't really make much from it, its still a small income earner which helps pay for things. i prefer to use Adsense on my forums as i can then make money from not using it by allowing members to purchase Ad-free browsing. so either way i benefit from using it.

I use AdSense on my site and I get paid about every three months or so.  It's a small niche site and the ads pay for the hosting.  I actually make more money from affiliate marketing than I do from AdSense.  I have a small shop with links to different products and I get paid commission when anyone purchases through my site.  I don't put a lot of time into the site as I have to go out to work as well.  If I was to put more effort in I'm sure I'd make quite a bit more money but not as much as I earn by going out to work.  If anyone has a get rich quick scheme that really works please let me know.   

I am using adsense for a less period. but it is satisfactory. there is no other trusted and easy option than  this. One more thing I have seen a post saying Adsense doesn't has CPM.. it has for the image ads displayed on your site. i have got some money once which didn't came from click.
