That's the imperative question that every wannabe internet millionaire (or at least anyone who wishes they were retired, making money just off the internet) wants to know - will Adsense make you rich? Will you, someday, be able to retire to Hawaii, Tahiti, Costa Rica, or even San Diego, sit back on the beach, popping back beers or margaritas, cigar in hand, sunglasses on, Hawaiian shirt on, simply living off of that big ol' quantity of income you're making month after month off of Adsense? Will you never have to work again, and simply get to drive around all day in your Aston Martin or your Bentley, which you bought with your Adsense money, and drive around, only to go back home to your nice beach condo? Will you get to blow big loads of money on Johnnie Walker Blue Label, surrounded by nine blondes at your local beachside bar, having them fawning over your rich self? Will you get to drink the most expensive wines, smoke the finest cigars and own all of the latest new gadgets and technology, including multiple cell phones all hooked up to the same plan? Will this be your reality?

First, let me ask you some qualifying questions...

Will you be willing to put a LARGE chunk of your non-working hours toward the purpose of working on your internet presence?

Will you use the Google Adwords keyword tool to your utmost advantage, making sure that your highest-paying keywords become your most relevant ones, and thus the ones which Google targets when serving ads to your websites?

Will you ignore the temptation to spend money on any e-books or other such programs regarding "automatic Adsense riches" or any automatic website creation garbage, instead getting there the way real entrepreneurs get there - working yourself to the bone to achieve your goals?

Will you continue writing and writing and writing, upping the quantity AND the quality, even while your early-on Adsense income is zilch?

Will you spend money on advertising your website, and go to other websites, subtly making sure your site, name, and URL get out there?

Will you make more than one site, using your sites to boost each other's back links and internet presence, without being spammy?

Will you work on your websites even after you're at your "rich" point? Is this your TRUE PASSION?

Will you come up with content that is there not just for the purpose of drawing people to click on your Adsense links, but is there for the purpose of keeping people coming back over and over and over again? In other words, do you have a good product?

If you answered no to any of these, you probably will not get rich on Adsense, ever. There are a handful of rich Adsensers, and even those who make a real good chunk of cash, enough to quit their jobs or even to equal their job income, most likely represent less than 1 percent of all Adsensers, and of all people who are trying to make the Adsense hustle to work in their favor as well. Don't believe hypesters who claim that they just wrote a few articles and the hits came by the thousands, or the dollars came by the hundreds. You gotta WORK to make it in this business. Or, like the e-book writers who successfully sell you information on what they claim is getting rich via Adsense, you have to be a real good scamster who can lie to enough people to get them to buy into your crap.

So will you get rich on Adsense? It's unlikely, let's face it. Can you make SOME money on it? Absolutely. You can turn it into beer money, or gym membership money, or car insurance money. If you're good, you can even turn it into car payment money. Will you turn it into mortgage money, or even only-income money? If you're VERY good and VERY lucky. Don't be fooled - this ain't easy. If you think you can get there, throw yourself at it with all your might. Otherwise, bow out now.

Agree! At the rate of earning from Adsense, I doubt I can get the first check after a year of hard work.
