Hey Thoma,
i got 2100 uniques last month.
i've got 2000 uniques as of right now.
i'm shooting for 4000 uniques by this month end.
my alexa ranking (i know it's not perfect) is about 64,000 now.
besides adsense which is abt $5 for the month till now, i'm going with affiliate mktg products and got a few resale right's products too.
if things go according to plan, i'm looking at $3,000 in income for October.
if you take a look at this screen, over a 4 day period i did about $280 of sales, which is pure profit, this was for Ewen Chia's Auto Blog Income Generator, which is an automated blogging solution.
the people who paid $20 for it, obviously saw value in it.
you can look at it at

just think about it for a moment.
if you bought something for $20, and it made you $10 a month, or even $5 a month, wouldnt it be worth it?
i think in internet mkting everything lies in providing value to people who buy stuff from you.
i'd gladly pay $100,000 for something if i knew it'd make me $1m, wouldnt you?

so i think the more healthy and productive thing to focus on is how you can provide value to others, rather than merely how to make more than $0.02 or $2 or $10 from adsense.
if you out to purely make money, people will smell you from a mile away and avoid you like the plague.
